Coolcentric’s environmental monitoring system (EMS) will feature the SynapSense data center monitoring and energy management system. EMS, which comprises of sensor nodes, gateways, and server platforms, provides immediate visibility to critical locations, processes and equipment within the data centre or datacom facility.
Using EMS, data center operators can assess current operating conditions in real-time. With monitoring and alerts, users can identify opportunities for efficiency improvements and mitigate the risk of potential issues.
Coolcentric EMS configures and interfaces with existing equipment for integration and deployment. EMS wireless sensor devices attach to enclosures and can be repositioned as needed to meet customer data centre needs.
SynapSense PowerImaging provides power metering, which measures the cooling infrastructure and overall IT load, and branch circuit monitoring, which enables circuit-level monitoring to capture power by rack or cabinet and supports IT load balancing and capacity management.
SynapSense LiveImaging provides thermal, pressure differential, humidity and dew point mapping using data at multiple levels of data centre, with the result that users can see hot spots and direct cooling to avoid over-heating or over-cooling.
The company claimed that LiveImaging pressure mapping enables users to increase sub-plenum pressure differential, thereby manipulating the airflow to such an extent, that computer room air conditioner units could be turned off.
Peter Deventer, CEO of SynapSense, said: “SynapSense has developed an enterprise-level operating platform for the world’s leading data centers and we are pleased that Coolcentric has incorporated our leading technology into its Environmental Monitoring System.”
