Environmental monitoring is more important than you may think. If the environment of a data center is poorly monitored, you could find some terrible problems arising…
Temperature Monitoring
Most data center managers only merely monitor the temperature of their data center by checking the thermostat reading on the wall. However, it is important to not simply rely on the temperature conditions at room level in a data center. This is because when an issue regarding heat emerges, although the air conditioning system will attempt to remedy the issue, this will only become apparent once the system is unable to compensate. This may be too late for the rack! Environmental sensors located on the top, middle and bottom of racks, at air conditioning intake and at discharge vents is a much more efficient mechanism to measure heat generation and output as well as cooling efficiency, helping to prevent any further problems arising.
Additionally, by using environmental sensors, you can:
- Optimize your data center ecosystem to ensure you are meeting equipment guidelines
- Reduce energy costs
- Reduce operational costs
- Defer capital investments
- Improve your power usage effectiveness (PUE)
- Improve reliability of your data center
- Increase your capacity for future data center growth
