The need for environmental monitoring of the server room

1.The danger of high temperature and humidity in the server room

Generally speaking, the working temperature of the computer is between 10-35℃. If the ambient temperature is too high, and the computer works for a long time, the heat is difficult to be distributed, the computer will have running errors, crash and other phenomena, and even burn the chip, which will also directly affect the life of the computer. According to statistics, for every 10 ℃ increase in temperature, the reliability of the computer will drop by 10%. If not dealt with in a timely manner, it is likely to cause damage to the machine, data loss, or even cause a power short circuit, fire and other accidents.

2.The need for smoke monitoring

The cost of equipment in the server room is relatively high, and once a fire starts, it will cause serious economic losses. When the open fire, the temperature will rise rapidly, if the server room is equipped with temperature detection module can effectively alarm. But in case of dark fire, the fire cannot be reported in time by temperature. Only monitoring the smoke in the server room can be found and dealt with in a timely manner to prevent and reduce losses.

3.The need for precision air conditioning monitoring

One of the characteristics of the server room is that the equipment is dense and generates a lot of heat. Therefore, air conditioning plays a decisive role in controlling the temperature and humidity of the server room. When the temperature of the server room exceeds 25℃, some computer and network equipment will issue an alarm. About 2h after the air conditioning of the server room stops running, the temperature of the server room will rise from 20℃ to more than 30℃, and the reliability of computer equipment operation is greatly reduced at this time. Monitoring the operation status of the air conditioner can make the air conditioning equipment stable operation, to ensure the stability and reliability of the temperature and humidity of the server room.

4.The necessity of water leakage monitoring

The hidden danger of leaks does exist, and the occurrence of leaks cannot be detected in time for various reasons and cause unimaginable losses. In the design and construction of the server room to prevent leakage has been a lot of consideration, but this does not guarantee that leakage will not occur, so the timely detection of leaks becomes more important. Especially for the room, due to the laying of anti-static flooring, leakage occurs without causing an accident is difficult to find. Because of the invisible, a small leak is very likely to cause a big accident, such accidents are not uncommon.

5.The need for trespass monitoring in the server room

Theft of equipment in the server room happens frequently, and theft cannot be reported, monitored, or recorded, leading to impunity for criminals. The security department has to bear a lot of extra responsibility for the problem that cannot be found in time when it is unattended. For specific server rooms, video needs to be installed to monitor the scene.

To sum up, It is meaningful to monitor the environment of the server room.
