Measuring efficiency with SynapSense SynapSoft
can help you reduce computer room operation costs in
your computer room by improving energy efficiency and
implementing power and cooling best practices.
SynapSoft Software from SynapSense
SynapSoft provides real-time, complete data center
monitoring and visibility, allowing data center managers
and facilities operators to make changes to their floor
plan and energy use, while reducing their risk of downtime
and reducing energy costs. This ground-breaking, green
energy solution is comprised of a complete wireless
hardware and software solution set designed specifically
for large and global data centers (5K-10K sq. ft. minimum).
SynapSoft 4.0 - Thermal Map
SynapSoft 4.0 also features LiveImaging, the first
real-time energy and operational efficiency solution
that enables data center operators to literally see
temperature, humidity, and pressure trends in their
data center, and take corrective action with confidence.
LiveImaging maps highlight your specific environmental
conditions using 3D real-time data at multiple levels
of the data center, and provide a visual display of
actual examples of thermal air mixing, pressure differential,
and humidity.

The LiveImaging feature in SynapSense's SynapSoft
software provides thermal, pressure differential, and
humidity mapping using 3D real-time data at multiple
levels of your data center enabling you to literally
see hot spots and direct airflow to avoid over-heating
or air mixing. LiveImaging pressure mapping enabled
one customer to dramatically increase sub-plenum pressure
differential by 60%, thereby improving airflow to such
an extent, they were able to turn off a CRAC unit.
SynapSoft LiveImaging benefits include:
- An integrated view of the data center environment,
and a record of anomalies
- Real-time visibility of the impact of data center
changes
- Identifies energy efficiency improvement opportunities
- Identifies available cooling for increased CPU
density and footprint reclaim
- Addresses potential energy savings, operational
savings, and data center resiliency
- Supports cooling capacity management by depicting
real-time impact of changes
LiveImaging provides global real-time views of your
data center
SynapSoft includes more than a dozen configurable views
that help you ‘see'your data center; everything from
a high-level overview, to customized zone views, down
to detailed views of the temperature efficiency of a
single rack, historical performance of CRACs, and much
more.
- Data Center View: Gives an overview of
the entire data center with zone icons, which are
colored red, green or yellow to depict alert status
within each of the zones - includes Zone View drill-down
options.
- Zone View: Gives at-a-glance, vital,
environmental statistics including temperature,
humidity and pressure. It can also isolate a desired
physical parameter and acts as a landing page from
which a user can drill down to view detailed temperature
and humidity historical data of CRACs and racks.
- Zone Node View: Allows sorting by data
type. This provides a snapshot of data such as high
and low temperatures or extreme humidity.
- CRAC View: Provides a seven-day historical
graph of CRAC relative humidity, supply and return
temperatures and CRAC efficiency.
- Rack View: Provides temperatures for
both the hot and cold aisle sides of the rack, relative
humidity and quantifies the CSI (cold supply infiltration),
which is a measure of cold air loss through mixing.
- Row Environmentals: Any number of sensors
can be graphed through the "Data Analysis" functionality.
SynapSoft 4.0 enables a group of sensors to be
named and saved for future reporting with a single
click. This allows you to quickly create a preferred
view with your most recent data or use historical
data to view past trends.
