Server manufacturers usually recommend and often require inlet temperatures below 77 degrees in order to achieve sufficient cooling across the internal electronics. When temperatures at the inlet of any given server rise above this limit for an extended time, there exists the risk of systems failure, which often lead to additional server purchases and increased deployment, installation and configuration time.
The most important step in rectifying a datacenter hotspot is to identify it. Continuous monitoring of intake temperatures by rack, especially near the tops of racks, is key.
The EM1 Environmental Monitor is the preeminent choice for server room and data center applications. Each unit is capable of monitoring up to 4 zones.
All of our monitors have an internal web server, can connect to your network via Ethernet, and support SNMP and XML interfacing. In addition, our monitors have the ability to be configured with our unique Data Warehouse Server (DWS) protocol allowing the unit to both "push" data to a specified IP, or store the environmental data for up to 21 hours
