What a server-room survey actually checks

What Kerox engineers look at during a server room or data center survey in Bengaluru — racks, power, cooling, cabling, and why it happens before you buy hardware.

Guide · Bengaluru / Bangalore · 6 min read

Buying servers before you have walked the room is how offices end up with equipment that does not fit the rack, trips the UPS, or cooks itself in summer.

A Kerox survey is a structured visit — not a sales walkthrough. We document what is there, what is at risk, and what has to change before any proposal.

What we look at

Rack space, unit layout, and whether airflow is blocked
Power feeds, UPS runtime, and earthing
Cooling: AC capacity, hot aisles, dust
Copper and fibre paths, patch panels, labelling
Network topology as it really is, not as last year’s drawing claimed
Physical access, CCTV, and fire considerations

What you get

A short report: photos where useful, gaps, risks, and a phased recommendation. You can act on it with us or with another partner — the document is yours.
