Charlotte, NC, July 23, 2009 –(PR.com)– Data Connections Inc., A leading provider of innovative IT infrastructure solutions since 1984, launched a new, low tech solution set to improve energy efficiency in data centers. Data Connections is tackling the data center “over cooling problem” by providing an inventive suite of passive airflow control products that reduce wasted fan power. The solution set uses simple, easy to install air barriers to block cooling air from escaping the data center and direct it only to the data center computers where it is needed. This passive airflow improvement approach solves the over cooling problem at a fraction of the costs of current solutions.

Data Connections has partnered with Polargy, the manufacturer of these innovative airflow products, to bring this low cost energy efficiency solution to the market. Data Connections will combine its market reach and cooling competence with Polargy’s passive airflow products to bring energy efficiency to data centers in the Education, Government, and Commercial segments.

Polargy’s PolarPlex™ Containment Systems and PolarDAM™ bypass air sealing products equip Data Connections with improved technological and cost advantages. “These new solutions, combined with the AdaptivCool™ and Plenaform™ products already in our portfolio, enhance our ability to give our clients the highest level of airflow optimization in their Data Centers” said Fritz Menchinger, President of Data Connections. “Our clients will see immediate results in increasing airflow to servers, elimination of recirculation and lower air conditioning bills.” Cary Frame, CEO of Polargy added, “We are thrilled to have Data Connections as a channel partner for our East Coast customers because they possess the motivation to help reduce energy consumption and the competency to deliver on that goal.”
