Data center managers and operators are deploying Sensicast’s SensiNet systems to monitor and document equipment operating temperatures for compliance with manufacturer SLA and warranty agreements. SensiNet also streamlines maintenance response and lower management costs through automatic maintenance dispatches and downtime avoidance.

Automate Air Conditioning Management New air conditioning equipment makes it possible to correct hot spots with localized control of cool air flow. SensiNet thermal sensors can be placed in equipment racks and special SensiNet "tethered" temperature nodes can measure equipment skin temperatures.  SensiNet software shows the operations manager where hot spots are and can generate automatic alerts when problems arise.  Pre-configured software interfaces connect SensiNet with building control automation software to automate temperature management and control.

Manage and Document Hardware Warranty Compliance Operating expensive IT computer equipment for extended periods of time at high ambient temperatures or at low line voltage greatly reduces reliability, longevity of components and will likely cause unplanned downtime. Some hardware manufacturers will deem warranty coverage to be void if their gear is operated outside of the environmental conditions specified in the equipment specifications. SensiNet avoids these problems by continuously monitoring and documenting operating conditions and generating alerts and alarms when equipment runs out of range.

Avoid Downtime Data Center downtime costs enterprises millions of dollars a year.  Maintaining mission-critical datacom facilities requires a way to detect and thwart dangerous fluctuations in operations conditions that lead to equipment and systems failures. SensiNet can monitor many of the adverse environmental conditions that can cause downtime including high brownouts, voltage spikes and sudden loss of HVAC in real-time generate immediate alerts.  In addition, historical reporting and archiving of data make it easy to spot trends and look at off-hour operation.
