Preventing Disasters With Environmental Probes
Filed under: environmental monitoring, humidity monitoring, power monitoring, temperature monitoring, water leak monitoring
Environmental sensors prevent disasters. Have you ever been in a situation where you lose a server or all of your data center to something as silly as a water leak or a… lightening strike? Amazon has, sort of. On August 7th, Amazon experienced a temporary data center outage in their Dublin data center. They claimed that it was due to a lightening strike, but later admitted it was due to multiple internal technical faults, resulting from the lightening strike. Read more

Summertime Data Room Monitoring: Part 1
Filed under: Data Center, environmental monitoring, humidity monitoring, temperature monitoring, water leak monitoring
It’s June and you know what that means? Summer is on the way. For most of us that means going to the beach, playing outside, and going to drive-ins with friends and family. But for IT Administrators, it’s all of that plus monitoring offices and Data Centers from being affected by the summer weather. This is the first part in an ongoing series to help those IT Administrators monitor and prevent a cataclysmic event from unfolding. Read more

Minimize network downtime by monitoring temperature in the data room
Filed under: Data Center, environmental monitoring, humidity monitoring, temperature monitoring
Infrastructure stability is constantly at the forefront of network planning and management. A good data center needs to be well organized and structured for clean operations, but it also needs to be appropriately optimized to guard against environmental disasters. Now, when I say disasters, I don’t necessarily mean typhoons and earthquakes. Even something as simple as an air conditioner losing power and the temperature rising to dangerous levels could be a disaster.
While a building management system can help optimize air flow and lower temperatures, they are not fail proof. That’s where Ravica comes in. Ravica provides some of the largest companies, with the most complex data centers, with solutions that ensure the integrity of environmental conditions within the data room. Not only can our intelligent temperature and humidity sensors tell you when conditions have become hazardous to your equipment, but our SensorProbes can take action as well.
