Data Centre Thermal Imaging Survey
Are you mandated by organisations such as the Up time Institute and insurance providers to carry out thermal imaging reviews? Perhaps your data centre suffers intermittent hot spots that are affecting your infrastructure? Data centre thermal imaging surveys and analysis provide a cost-effective method of assessing hot spots and potential hazards – and can mitigate the risk of paying damages for lost data due to downtime.
As density increases so does heat dissipation within a data centre or server room environment. Periodic thermal imaging inspections are crucial to ensure maximum resilience and continuity for IT services.
Data Centre Thermal Imaging Survey
We’ll carry out an initial free of charge survey to assess your facilities infrastructure, where we will identify known hot spot areas such as cooling airflow, electrical cabling and mechanical compressors prior to our thermal imaging survey.
Depending on the overall size and complexity of your data centre, our data centre thermal imaging survey requires a day on-site with our thermal imaging specialist.
Data centre thermal imaging survey cameras and instruments will take high definition photos which are collated, downloaded and analysed to create a detailed report providing our findings, expert recommendations and conclusions.

Data Centre Thermal Imaging Overview
Here’s a brief overview of the elements we review as part of our data centre thermal imaging survey:
- Complete granular data trending for facility and asset managers
- Temperature anomalies of electrical infrastructure
- Temperature anomalies of mechanical components
- Issues with data centre cooling systems supply and return airflow
- Densely populated server cabinets and equipment



The Benefits of Our Thermal Imaging Survey
The benefits include:
- Quickly diagnosed problems on-screen with HD images
- Eliminated air flow and re-circulation issues
- Detection of thermal overloading within power cabling and terminations
- Long-term analysis – uncover hard-to-find or intermittent issues
- A cost-effective solution compared with CFD modelling software

Checklist For Your New Server Room Project!
There are so many factors to consider when exploring the best way to effectively design and keep air conditioned. From the layout of space (low ceilings and raised floors etc.), the extent of cooling needed, the level of environmental monitoring required, the best system of fire suppression, the list goes on.
Designing a new server room at first may seem to be an intimidating project, there are after all, a lot of factors and standards to consider. However, setting up the space and equipment doesn’t have to be an ordeal – that’s if you plan and make sure you have all necessary components. We have made you a simple checklist to facilitate the design of your server room.
