  • Atmospheric Pollutants
  • Humidity

The effects of corrosion in data centers:

  • Frequent downtime due to equipment failure
  • Malfunction and failure of equipment
  • Loss of data
  • Increase in the data center's maintenance costs
  • Lower energy efficiency in equipment
  • Frequent need for replacement of electronic components

Prevention of corrosion in data centers:

Periodic testing in data centers could prevent the risk of corrosion and lead to smooth functioning of electrical, electronic and networking equipment. In addition to testing for corrosion, businesses could also check the indoor air quality of the data centers. Furthermore, conducting regular audits will go a long way to prevent corrosion in data centers.

Frequency of testing for corrosion in data centers:
