Apart from viruses, spyware and network threats, the factors that adversely business operation are heat, humidity, airflow, smoke, and electricity. These elements have detrimental effect on the equipments and make them sluggish, which ultimately results in the poor performance of business. With this in mind, data center environmental monitoring system seems to have very crucial role in keeping an eye on network closets, server rooms and enterprise level data center. In order to know if there is any problem happening with server or data center, it is very important to configure your system with features such as alert notifications to receive email, sms, snmp or voice call alarms to notify when something goes wrong.
A robust environmental monitoring strategy comprises several temperature sensors, which can be mounted on top, middle, or bottom of individual racks to measure the heat being produced equipments. If you want to measure efficiency of the equipments, you should install the sensors at the air conditioning system's intake and discharge vent. It is very important to control temperature of server room in order to protect data center.
Like temperature, there are other factors like humidity, airflow, and water, which need to be controlled. For example, high humidity may lead to corrosion on electronic components and low humidity levels may cause the issues with static electricity. Given the issues caused by over humidity and under humidity, it is very important to have a data center temperature monitoring device that helps keep humidity level balanced ensuring that all equipments work efficiently.
