New Era for Opengate By Geist

    LINCOLN, NE, May 19, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Geist, a leading data center solution infrastructure provider, has today announced the launch of Opengate By Geist, a move to consolidate recently acquired Opengate Data Systems into the Geist solutions family while retaining Opengate's considerable brand reputation and industry-earned recognition.

From a manufacturing background dating back to 1948, Geist has become a leading service and solutions provider that incorporates the four core Data Center infrastructure management needs of Power, Cool, Monitor and Manage. The Lincoln-headquartered enterprise is now set to add considerable strength to that solution line-up by including the Opengate cooling and airflow technology brand in their global product family.

Opengate By Geist bolsters the company's ability to assist in the design and implementation of efficient holistic systems within the data center, integrating power and environmental metrics with DCiM solutions. Offering customizable solutions ranging from small closets to entire data center solutions, the Opengate By Geist containment solution utilizes sophisticated temperature and pressure sensors to control fan speeds and exhaust hot air at the most efficient rate. This unique approach to data center cooling earned a prestigious Green Enterprise IT Award from the Uptime Institute.

Opengate President Mark Germagian, said: "This marks an exciting new era in the evolution of Opengate. Building upon our reputation as cooling, containment and airflow specialists our new brand positioning allows us to offer both existing and new customers immense added value through the Geist brand family."
