Data Center Temperature Monitoring

Monitor temperature. Lower CRAC setpoints. Reduce costs.

Data Center Temperature Monitoring for IT cabinets is essential to avoid hotspots. Ensuring equipment is running at optimal temperatures will increase its lifespan, reliability and decrease maintenance. ASHRAE recommended standards for data center cooling are a guideline for the temperatures at which a data center should run. It is advised that between 20°C – 24°C is the best for maximizing the efficiency and longevity of servers.

AKCP temperature sensors and cabinet thermal maps monitor your data center and IT cabinets. Use collected temperature sensor data to safely raise air conditioner temperature setpoints without putting mission-critical equipment at risk.

Save on server room cooling costs and lower server room PUE one rack at a time.

Temperature Sensor Graphing

AKCP base units collect data from wired or wireless data center temperature monitoring sensors. Data is graphed and displayed on the embedded HTML user interface. When multiple base units are deployed the sensor data can be centralized on your own NMS or using AKCPro Server DCIM software.

Graphs of temperature and alerts based on sensor thresholds mean you can keep onto of the situation in your IT cabinets, and check for hotspots.

 

Temperature Sensor Alerts & Notifications

An essential part of any server room monitoring system is an accurate temperature and humidity monitoring sensor. High temperatures can lead to system failure, unwanted downtime, and costly repairs.

AKCP platforms help to avoid these costly errors with easy to configure, cost-effective systems that are ready to run, right out of the box.

Events that lead to disaster can be used to proactively alert IT staff to maintain equipment correctly or to take corrective action.

SNMP Enabled Temperature Sensors

AKCP actively maintains a downloadable sensor MIB file containing SNMP OID references to AKCP sensors and equipment.

In addition, all sensor OIDs can be accessed directly from the web user interface. Sensor integration guides are available for most popular NMS software such as Nagios, Solarwinds, PRTG Network Monitor, HP OpenView, and more.

AKCP sensorProbes are SNMPV1 & V2 compliant. AKCP securityProbes and sensorProbeX+ are SNMPv3 compliant with full encryption.
