Environmental Monitoring

Energy consumption is a top concern of data center managers today, but there is no silver bullet for controlling data center energy costs, becasue many assets and areas interact with each other. Unproductive “ghost” servers can consume energy and increase other operational expenses far in excess of the cost of the server itself. Accurate and real-time accounting of all assets help data center managers save money and achieve better performance levels. Additionally, AIM’s integrated temperature sensor provides you with accurate air temperature readings anywhere in the rack, providing the granular information required to manage temperatures within each aisle, and even within each rack. By monitoring the intake air temperature in every rack, you can trigger alerts if the temperature moves above or below a preset range. No additional equipment or power is needed.

AIM provides the ability to set policies for hot and cold spots and configure customizable alerts for temperature measures outside of the set range.

Identify the data you need to adjust cooling capacity:

• Reduce energy costs with better visibility
• Aviod continuity problems due to rapid temperature changes, overheating and hot spots
• Identify cold spot problems
