Why Vaccine Cold Chain Monitoring is Critical

December 14, 2020

Vaccines are a key component in our health care system. One of the most cost-effective and efficient public health strategies is immunization. The end of many disease outbreaks can be directly attributed to the development of their respective vaccines. They have an immense societal contribution, which is why it is crucial that the delivery of vaccines through the cold chain is monitored and handled with the utmost care to ensure that the vaccine’s integrity is maintained all throughout its transport. The effectiveness of vaccines heavily relies on proper vaccine storage conditions. Vaccines are time and temperature-sensitive. They are transported through

Data Center Temperature Guidelines and Best Practices

December 14, 2020

In order to ensure that a Data Center is functioning properly, it is important for the temperature to be well-regulated at all times. Excessive heat puts a Data Center at risk of failure. This failure can lead to downtime, which causes lost data and revenue. Based on a Gartner study, it is estimated that the cost of one hour of downtime can amount to up to $336,000 per hour or $5,600 per minute. Maintaining temperatures in a Data Center within recommended guidelines is crucial in preventing the company from losing hundreds of thousands of dollars in revenue.

Benefits Of Server Room Temperature Monitoring
