Environmental Monitoring System

You know that your server space and your equipment are important to keep cool, but do you understand why?

High humidity and extreme heat can lead to major damage to the critical equipment. When the heat is high, many of your equipment's components are only rated to work in a specific temperature range. If the temperature of your server room exceeds this limit, your devices may stop working – or worse, they will fry completely, permanently damaging them.

For moisture, it is known that water and electronics aren't well mixed.

A small amount of water in the air can be handled by your gear. However, you could start experiencing trouble if the humidity hits a certain percentage. If the humidity in your server room is too high, the air water can actually have electric shorts for your equipment.

Whilst you may be fortunate that you dry the equipment out, it will be necessary to replace the damage caused by water mostly permanently damaged. To ensure your server room is properly monitored, you need to replace expensive equipment due to preventable damage.

Reduced downtime and reliability of equipment:

You're the first to know when things go wrong. Minimize downtime by warning about server and other network device damages conditions.

Reduced OPEX

Server environmental monitoring devices help you to reduce costs for substitute equipment and to more effectively distribute the workforce.

Greater satisfaction amongst employees

The integrated notification features, such as e-mail, SMS and SNMP traps, allow employees to manage their work better.

1. It can damage servers when the temperature is too high. Overheating could lead to continuous damage.
2. While low temperatures should be used to maintain server uptime, energy consumption can be expensive. Rapid temperature changes should also be avoided (from hot to cold or vice-versa), as they can lead to condensation. Extreme temperatures can lead also to dry air, resulting in static power.
3. If the humidity is too high, the condensation can cause hardware corrosion and electronics failure.
4. It can cause electrostatic discharge (ESD) when humidity is too low, which can damage sensitive electronic components.

Water leaks are without doubt one of the most important causes of inefficiency. The causes can be caused by weather, cracked pipes, or blocked HVAC systems drainage or drain pan. Voltage peaks or drops may also interrupt equipment and create power interruptions. Monitoring power to prevent failures, failures and over-consumption is essential.

The retention of recommended environmental conditions like temperature, moisture, power and the avoidance of water flows can ensure total reliability and service life at all costs within the data centre.

Indoor or outdoor server rooms can be monitored. An internal sensor which monitors a single device component could be its fan speed, temperature, voltage, etc. Almost every computer and processor has a built-in internal sensor that collects data.

On the other hand, external sensors collect server room information. You can find them on the cabinets, on racks and keep an eye on the whole room. smoke detectors, thermal and humidity sensors, airflows, water leakages, etc, are available in external sensors.
