Team CPI Shanghai Shares in the Excitement of the Beijing Olympics

August 29, 2008

The United States and China brought home more medals at this year’s Olympic competition than any other country, with the U.S. earning a total of 110 and China earning 100. Members of CPI’s representative office, located in Pudong (Shanghai), China enjoyed the festivities of the Beijing Olympics as they closely watched both countries “bring home the gold”.

Frank Zheng, CPI’s Regional Manager for China, made this interesting analogy with the Olympics, “With the China team winning the race for gold medals and the U.S. team running a close second, our customers are also able to “bring home the gold” by specifying and using CPI products that help them lower the total cost of ownership of IT rooms, particularly cooling and power costs in data centers.”

Though the games have come to an end, CPI’s China team continues to pursue excellence daily as they meet the need of our customers in Asia. Our team includes:

  • Garry Yan, Area Sales Director, Asia Pacific
  • Frank Zheng, Regional Manager, China

CPI Passive Cooling® Solutions, has proven to be a popular solution in the U.S. for managing heat in the data center. It promises to be just as vital in China as new data centers are built. CPI recognized the problem of increasing density requirements and energy consumption, and designed a thermal management solution that uses passive technologies to maximize airflow to cool equipment in the data center without the need for additional CRAC units, in-row air conditioners or risky liquid cooling solutions.
