Is it me or is it too cold in here? Thanks to RF Code, we now know for sure.
Data Foundry recently installed state of the art thermal sensors from RF Code throughout Texas 1 to monitor and control the temperature within the data center raised floor.
Controlling temperature was one of the last primitive aspects of operating a state-of-art data center. RF Code has brought real-time intelligence to how we monitor and keep the temperature in our data centers within an acceptable range. Now, we can actively enforce airflow best practices and optimize our cooling systems to ensure we’re delivering the the most efficient service possible.
How does it work? We first attach the sensors to the server cabinets. We then use RF Code’s Asset Manager software to provide a “plan view” mapped overview of the data hall, and to survey the overall temperature conditions in the room. With this information we look for patterns and deviations from those patterns in the room, which we can investigate and correct. We also use RF Code’s API to gather per-sensor data and incorporate that right into our existing core network monitoring engine. This allows us to receive proactive notification when individual sensors go above (or below) an acceptable range.
All of this leads to precise management of necessary cooling. Getting 100 percent accurate data is essential to ensure maximum cooling efficiency within high power density deployments.
