Data Center Monitoring systems (also called Environmental Monitoring systems) help ensure minimal downtime by alerting you to environmental factors within racks that can cause servers and devices to overheat or malfunction. Key factors when focusing on efficiency improvements allowing data center managers and facilities managers to make changes to their floor plan and energy use, while reducing their risk of downtime and reducing energy costs.
Features available with some of the above data center monitoring systems include:
Day/Night CCTV monitoring
Real-Time measurement and modeling
Custom Rack Profile Reporting Indicates at the Rack level when anomalies occur. -AC12 Supply Temp -Hot Aisle Avg. Temp -Cold Aisle Top, Middle & Bottom Temp.
2D Thermal Mapping Thermal Maps show where there are hot and cold spots within the data center. Indicating areas of potential risk. Based on sensors placed at the top, middle and bottom of the instrumented racks.
Data Center Thermal Imaging
2D Pressure Map Indicates where there may be too much or too little air pressure, which could cause air flow issues & hot/cold spots potentially impacting equipment Plenum differential pressure measurement, in inches of water.
2D Humidity Map Humidity below ASHRAE suggested ranges could indicate risk of static discharge, above the ASHRAE range shows risk of condensation Relative humidity measured at the top of the cold aisle and air-handlers.
