For most organizations, the data center serves as a brain and central nervous system. It is the center of indispensable data, applications, and services. That\u2019s why it\u2019s critical to keep it running as safely and efficiently as possible.\u00a0 Environmental sensors can play a huge role in protecting critical equipment and improving efficiencies.\u00a0 Consider these five benefits of using sensors in your data center.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Optimal Cooling Usage<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Real-time and historic sensor input helps to identify both hot and cold spots in the data center. \u00a0For example, sensors can indicate when an aisle is overcooled and the thermostat can be raised. \u00a0Environmental sensors can also show when more cooling resources are needed to prevent equipment failure.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Proper Airflow<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Separating hot air from cold air is a critical part of keeping cooling costs in check.\u00a0 Airflow sensors allow you to monitor both cold airflow and hot air return. \u00a0In the cold aisle, this ensures that the cooling system is functioning, and that the entire rack is receiving cold air. It also helps ensure that hot air from the back of the aisle doesn\u2019t leak toward the front.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Physical Cabinet Security<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Physical security is paramount in many data centers across several industries. Contact closure sensors can activate a webcam whenever a cabinet door is opened. \u00a0They also help to ensure equipment changes are executed in correct cabinets. And, they be can integrated with smoke detectors to alert you to faulty devices and fires.<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Water and Humidity Protection<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Water incursion from faulty cooling systems or leaky pipes is a common cause of downtime. Water sensors can alert you to leaks that are dangerously close to mission critical equipment.\u00a0 Similarly, humidity sensors can provide an alert when relative humidity is high.\u00a0 Too much humidity introduces the risk of condensation and corrosion.<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Strategic Decisions<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            Do you have enough cooling resources in your data center today? What will happen if you add additional devices?\u00a0 These are questions that environmental sensors can help companies to answer.\u00a0 Data centers can make smarter decisions about building or refurbishing facilities. Or deploying to a cloud or cloud provider.\u00a0 This makes them more agile and cost-efficient in the long-term.<\/p>\n

            If you aren\u2019t convinced, consider these five more reasons environmental sensors are used in all modern data centers<\/a>. You\u2019ll learn how sensors can save you thousands of dollars per year on energy bills.\u00a0 And, when you\u2019re ready to get started, trust 2N Systems to deploy and help maintain your environmental monitoring solution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
