I guess it shouldn’t surprise me anymore when a customer calls up and tells me that they don’t have a solution for server room temperature monitoring.  Imagine if the server room air conditioner broke on a Saturday morning. The data room temperature would likely rise up to dangerous levels.

Here are 5 Reasons to Monitor Server Room Temperatures:

  1. Protect equipment from failure and data loss
  2. Environmental threats are heightened after hours
  3. Rack Temperatures matter more than office temp
  4. Make sure your air distribution is working correctly
  5. Lower cooling expenses without lowering reliability

Using a temperature sensor for computer room temperature monitoring provides companies with piece of mind knowing that they will be notified if temperature rises above a threshold.  It also allows companies trying to implement Green IT or Green Computing to get a better idea on how well their conservation efforts are doing.

Unlike humidity monitoring To optimize temperature monitoring and gain a better overall perception of ambient temperature, a temperature sensor should be placed in each enclosed server rack.
