Case Study: AKCP Monitors Simon Fraser University Data Center
AKCP, the world's oldest and largest supplier of networked wired and wireless sensor solutions, monitor Simon Fraser University data center.
The university recently updated their data center facilities, installing racks with rear door heat exchangers (RDHx) for high density computing. To guard against disasters caused by water leaks from the RDHx the data center administrators installed a leak detection system. AKCP rope and spot water sensors were deployed. Rope water sensors running down each aile under the rear doors will alert immediately should water leaks occur. This allows rapid response toguard against severe damage that water in the data center can cause.
