Noted for their recent release of the standalone temperature monitor, the Audit Buddy, Purkay Labs was featured as a company to watch on the Cooling Zone. From the article:
AUDIT-BUDDY has two operation modes: QuickScan and LongScan. QuickScan takes 60 second scans throughout an aisle to establish the current thermal environment and determine if there are any problem areas. LongScan takes in-depth measurements in a single location over a longer period of time to identify environmental trends.
AUDIT-BUDDY can validate whether Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) software, which are often expensive, require downtime and interfere with IT equipment, are necessary. AUDIT-BUDDY’s Patent Pending technology, including a custom designed base limiting impact on vertical airflow, and a unique fan design drawing air into its modules, provides superior measurement when compared to wireless sensors and thermal imaging.
Due to its low-cost, AUDIT-BUDDY is the perfect solution for server and telecom closets, as well as data center operators that plan to migrate to a colocation facility and do not want to invest in expensive data center monitoring equipment. AUDIT-BUDDY is also the perfect tool for colocation providers who are required to confirm that their data center environment is optimal, as well as colocation tenants who want to ensure that their colocation provider is fulfilling the terms of the Service Level (SLA). Additionally, those responsible for data center commissioning and engineering can also use AUDIT-BUDDY to gather critical environmental data.
