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.
Temperature monitoring software
Filed under: environmental monitoring, humidity monitoring, temperature monitoring
Our data center temperature gets hot. We have loads of switches, routers and servers, and the heat produced can be substantial. We have software to report on sFlow, NetFlow, SNMP, syslogs, traps, etc., and of course we have temperature monitoring software as well.
In the palm of my hand
We obviously use our temperature monitoring probes, which also take care of humidity monitoring. Look how small these things are:
Since the one probe can do both temperature and humidity sensing, the second port can be used to detect water, smoke, or any of our other environmental monitoring sensors.
No temperature monitoring program needed
This little device has a web server built in, so you can hit it with an IE or FireFox web browser. The unit is self contained, and prices start at $250. It also supports SNMP. Check out the live environmental monitoring demos:
