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.
Server Rack Environmental Monitoring
A range of monitoring products, sensors and software solutions that can be used within server room and data centre rack environments to monitor temperature, humidity, power, flood, water, fire, smoke, room entry, motion and airflows and provide alarm notifications.
