(PRWEB) February 23, 2007 -- Whether it's small computer room with a few devices or a large data center with multiple devices, balanced temperature and humidity are two key factors that should be monitored in order to maintain the most favorable computing environment. Maintaining a balanced temperature in a computer room or data center is essential. Without a balanced environment, hot spots can form and build up heat behind equipment racks or near large machines. To solve this problem, Information Support Concepts (ISC, http://www.iscdfw.com) recommends positioning sensors near the identified hot spot areas to alert the tech team of unacceptable temperature fluxes.
Humidity is the other area of concern for maintaining an optimal environment. Avoid conditions where condensation may form or where changes in humidity could happen quickly. Condensation is always the enemy; any conditions that cause moisture to be deposited on equipment will sooner or later destroy things, either by rusting them away or by water entering something vital. That's why machine specifications always specify a non-condensing atmosphere. For people to work comfortably the relative humidity should be between 45% and 60%. An example of a top sensor hub product is the newly improved "SH-2+ SensorHub Plus Temperature And Humidity Sensors" (http://www.iscdfw.com/onlinecatalog/sensorprobe/sensorProbe.htm). The "SH2+" monitors and manages real time computer temperature and humidity in computer cabinets and is excellent for remote locations.
Using Sensor Hubs by Information Support Concepts (ISC, http://www.iscdfw.com) will help you proactively maintain the best possible environment in your computer room or data center and is critical to the success of your business.
Listed below are ten advantages to using newly improved Sensor Hubs by ISC.
Top 10 List of the Advantages of Sensor Hubs
• 0" U, not taking up any rack space in a cabinet
• Communicates via email or phone (if the modem port is used) to the network administrator or IT professional on staff
• Can be monitored/controlled from any console on the network
• Works with any system, no software required
• Low cost way to efficiently protect high dollar network systems and maintain data integrity
• Fully compliant with all operating systems
• 2 levels of password protection
• 1 year limited warranty
• Free technical support via e-mail
• Can monitor the temperature and/or humidity in specific locations within a cabinet to point out a variety of possible problems. This allows monitoring of the air temperature going into the servers to help determine if the cold air is being delivered efficiently.
• If the cooling air going to servers is not the correct temperature, catastrophic failure can be the result.
• If the cooling air going to servers is not the correct temperature, the air conditioning system can be malfunctioning.
• If the cooling air going to servers is not the correct temperature, there could be something preventing the proper airflow.
