Don’t forget the data

Most of you are motivated principally by a desire to be informed of extreme environmental events in your data centre.

One area you shouldn’t forget about is logging your environmental data.

Fortunately, it is very easy to do. In fact, a system set up for performing alarms will give you the logging for free. Nor is the logging functionality restricted to a high end monitoring system, all of our solutions provide both alarming and logging.

Why is having a record of your environmental readings important?

Data centres are dynamic places. Equipment is being installed on a regular basis to cope with changing business requirements.

By monitoring your server room environment you can see how changes are affecting your environment.

By spotting trends early, you can plan future infrastructure upgrades in good time, before the server room environment becomes a problem.
