The most widely adopted temperature range for a server room is 18-25°C. This ambient temperature range provides a comfortable environment for technicians and engineers to work in, and a suitable environment in which to run IT servers, networking devices and associated critical infrastructure including uninterruptible power supplies. Below 18°C and the room can become a little too cool and energy is wasted cooling the space. Above the temperature and the server room becomes a little too warm with the potential for humidity related problems. Whilst this is an overall suitable server room temperature range, it is important to identify ‘hot-spots’ i.e. warmer temperatures within the room and server racks which could potentially lead to heat-related problems.
Environment Monitors
Environment monitors provide real time data and information on the environment in which critical systems including IT servers, networking peripherals and Internet of things (IoT) devices are operating. The data can be logged for analysis and instant alarms generated when the recorded measurements rise above pre-set points with alarms issued via email, SMS and phone calls to stored email addresses and phone numbers. Data can also be collected via SNMP over an Ethernet network or pushed to a Cloud-based monitoring portal for access via a suitable HTTP/HTTPS internet browser or mobile phone application. Environment monitors help prevent damage to critical IT operations caused due to sudden temperature and humidity rises, water leaks, smoke and fire and can also help with server capacity planning and energy efficiency.
