Fulfilment and warehouse distribution centres are critical to the successful operation of any ecommerce and distribution-based business. Computer and automation systems play a vital role to such organisations, with most having temperature, humidity and water leakage monitoring system within their server rooms or data centres. It can be as important to extend these monitoring systems to include the stores and distribution areas within their supply chains. Failure to monitor warehouses can lead to unexpected disruption to operations and losses in the form of damage to stock and inventory caused by poor temperature controls, a build-up of humidity and water leakage.

In a server room or data centre environment, critical infrastructure systems provide the managed and controlled environment in which to run IT operations. The two most critical being power and cooling, followed by emergency protection systems including fire suppression.

Data centres and server rooms are dynamic environments. A ‘steady-state’ of operation is not always achievable due to server utilisation, environmental factors, planned maintenance, system downtime and emergencies. Smaller data centres and server rooms tend to have less investment in redundant systems and can be more susceptible to outages caused by a critical system failure or sudden changes in their operating environment.

Data centres provide managed and controlled environments in which to run IT servers and networks. Whether the data centre is an on-premise enterprise or cloud providing colocation facility, environmental monitoring is critical to its availability and energy efficiency. Whilst no two data centres are the same, there can be shared best practices in terms of the most commonly monitored environmental factors and critical infrastructure systems.

Whether you operate a small server room or a large data centre, your biggest operating cost will be electricity. The energy used to not only power your servers and IT network but for the cooling, uninterruptible power supplies, lighting, and any other electrical devices within your facility.

Server rooms and data centres are designed to provide secure, managed, and controlled environments in which to run IT operations. In order to ensure uptime and availability, it is importance to have a suitable environmental monitoring system in place but what should you monitor and how should the data collected be reported and acted upon?

All server rooms and data centres require an environmental monitoring solution to ensure they provide a managed and secure environment in which to run critical IT servers, storage, and network devices. Without this type of monitoring solution, they are at risk of downtime, resulting primarily from temperature, humidity, and water leakage problems.

Whether you need to monitor a data centre’s environment for power, cooling or security, new wireless monitoring solutions offer a range of cost, data acquisition and management benefits that could just swing the balance the next time you need to gather environmental monitoring data to manage your critical data centre infrastructure.
