Environmental Monitoring System

Environmental monitoring systems for many server rooms and data centers are the most essential devices for continuous operation. EMS system uses wireless and wired sensors like temperature, humidity, smoke, water leak, etc. for climate monitoring of the data center.

What is it?

EMS System for Sever Rooms

An environmental monitoring system for server rooms is a powerful tool that is made to monitor and inform the user if climate parameters cross set threshold limits to make sure the place has normal conditions and is safe for data center equipment. Often used in IT rooms, clean rooms, and laboratories to monitor temperature and humidity to prevent equipment damage and data loss.

Latest data center environmental monitoring units have new features with the help of which they can monitor the status of devices such as UPS Devices, PAC Units, Access control systems, and fire alarm systems by giving you real-time data and sending quick alerts to stop problems and improving the total safety and efficiency.

Modern server room environmental monitoring device works as a Facility Monitoring System (FMS) because it monitors more than just temperature and humidity. Other common names include remote SNMP environment monitoring system, server room monitoring, data center monitoring, computer room monitoring, network closet monitoring, temperature sensor, remote power reboot, web alert thermometer, and server room monitoring system.

How does an Environment Monitoring System for a Data Center work?

Now let us understand and get an idea about how an environmental monitoring system works. A data center environmental monitoring solution using IoT technology consists of a monitoring panel with various input ports (digital, analog, and RJ45) and output ports (relay output). Through these input ports EMS panel is connected to the different types of wired or wireless sensors or detectors such as temperature and humidifiers, water leaks, airflow, door contact, power, fire sensors, etc.

During installation, users can set preferred threshold values for humidity and temperature in the server room or data center using dedicated software. These set values are taken up by the system as the normal limits for the conditions. Once set, the EMS continuously monitors the environment, comparing real-time data from the sensors to the pre-set threshold values.

If the temperature or humidity levels cross these threshold values, the environmental monitoring system for data centers activates an alert that can be sent in different ways such as sound alarms, display alarms, emails, SMS messages, or even voice calls, based on the type of configuration.

For example, if the temperature exceeds the set limit, the system will activate a temperature alert alarm. Similarly, if humidity levels are too high or too low, a humidity alert alarm will be triggered. At the same time, if the IT environmental monitoring system receives single digital inputs from other devices in the computer room (UPS, CRAC, fire alarm, etc.) it will send a notification to the user.

By giving real-time data and alerts, our EMS system provides you with good management of environmental conditions thereby, decreasing the danger of component damage, data loss, and other disturbances to the work in important facilities like server rooms and data centers.

Server Room Environmental Monitoring System Features

Our environmental Monitoring System comes with many features that help you monitor your climatic parameters like temperature and humidity inside your server rooms and data centers. Also, it is the first choice when it comes to protecting your facility due to heat, humidity, or other security issues. Let’s explore its useful features:

Temperature Monitoring

Continuously tracks temperature levels in server rooms and wiring closets. If any changes from the normal value are found then, the system quickly sends an alarm signal to you so that your team can take correct actions in no time without any trouble.

Humidity Monitoring

Detect abnormal humidity conditions by monitoring humidity levels. You can set the range of the correct humidity level for each sensor. The sensors will check and send you alerts in case the data shows outside the normal values so that you can stop dangerous problems like high moisture and electric shocks.

Water Leak Detection

Sends instant notifications when water is detected, whether from a tripped sprinkler system, a pipe burst, or a flash flood, to prevent water damage to sensitive equipment. An environmental monitoring system uses leak sensor cables or probe detectors connected via digital input ports.

Physical Security Monitoring

Integrate with "Dry Contact" devices such as motion sensors, door sensors, vibration sensors, and smoke detectors which help you to monitor and get alerts on wrong access or any other movements thereby, improving the physical security of server rooms and data centers.

Remote Power Control

Remotely getting alert notifications, rebooting, and controlling the power (on/off) to servers and network devices helps you to easily handle as well as solve the problems the devices are having without any need to be there physically thereby, giving you the comfort to work without any trouble.

Real-Time Data and Alerts

Environmental monitoring system for data centers provides real-time monitoring data and instant alerts through various channels, such as audio alarms, visual indicators, emails, SMS messages, or voice calls which make sure you can get the alerts in no time and quickly act to any environmental danger.

Threshold Configuration

Allows users to set threshold values for temperature, humidity, and other monitored parameters as per their need, thereby giving them the freedom to monitor their environment just the way they want and hence is an effective monitoring system. It also allows us to set notifications as per the hierarchy of the staff.

Comprehensive Monitoring Panel

A central panel with digital, analog, and RJ45 input ports, along with relay output ports that connect to different sensors and devices thereby, giving a well-connected monitoring system to control the conditions of the environment. Most of the EMS systems for data centers support leading protocols like Modbus, TCP/IP, SNMP, BACnet, etc.

FAQs about Environmental Monitoring Systems

As its name suggests, this device continuously collects real-time data about climate parameters and the status of devices in a particular facility (server room, data center, laboratories, cold room, etc.) and sends alerts to the user when certain parameters cross the set threshold limits or faults. Primarily it is used for temperature and humidity monitoring. However, it can collect the status from various other devices present in a data center such as UPS, PAC, Smoke detector, and CCTV, and send notifications to the users.

The types of sensors that can be connected to the EMS are as follows:

  1. Temperature sensor
  2. Humidity detector
  3. Water leak detector
  4. Smoke detector
  5. Airflow sensor
  6. Motion sensor

Datacenters store servers and other IT equipment that are sensitive to temperature and humidity. High humidity levels can cause condensation, and low humidity can create an electric charge. Also, if the air is hot then, it can damage your servers. Thus, it is essential to do temperature and humidity monitoring with an environmental monitoring system.

An EMS consists of a monitoring panel and different types of sensors that are connected to the environmental monitoring panel. Users can set a threshold value for each sensor. When one of the climate parameters crosses set a threshold value, the corresponding sensor gives a single to the panel to generate a notification.

Some of the best server room monitoring systems are as follows:

  1. NTI made Environmux
  2. Falcon and Seahawk by RLE
  3. OGW and Temp Tek by Aqualeak
  4. AKCP temperature sensor
  5. Liebert RDU-S Environmental Monitoring Unit
  6. APC NetBotz Environmental Monitoring Systems
  7. Sever rack monitoring
  8. Datacenter monitoring

EMSs can monitor a wide range of parameters including temperature, humidity, water leaks, air quality (CO2, VOCs), power status (voltage, current), physical security (motion, door sensors), and more depending on the specific needs of the environment being monitored.

An Environmental Monitoring System has a big role in efficient energy by monitoring HVAC systems, lighting, and other devices that use energy. The monitoring system also shows the real-time use of energy so that you can decrease the environmental footprint.
