Server Room Temperature Monitoring

Operational Intelligence for Environment Monitoring of your Data Centers

Server room temperature monitoring enables you to leverage your existing Wi-Fi Server room temperature monitors enable you to leverage your existing Wi-Fi network infrastructure to prevent hardware damage to server rooms, data centers and network closets. The ideal temperature for a server room is between 68° and 71°F. Remotely monitoring server rooms for abrupt changes in environmental conditions such as humidity and temperature helps detect problems in advance. It is not uncommon for server rooms to experience spikes in air temperature from overloaded electrical systems in computer rooms.

The ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers) recommends having specialized cooling systems in place to help control server room temperatures. Paired wireless monitors that record temperature data in real-time could prevent costly fire damage and/or loss of a server unit. According to the National Fire Protection Association, every year between 2006 and 2010, approximately 209 structural fires originated in server rooms across the U.S. While the statistics reflect an over ten-year history, it is easy to assume that with the increasing number of data centers across the nation, there is an increased risk of fire danger as well.
