With power and cooling equipment costs rising, it has become imperative to reduce expenses associated with operating IT assets. To address increased customer and market demand, RF Code, a provider of distributed IT environmental monitoring and asset management solutions announced the availability of an environmental monitoring bundle for distributed network and telecommunications closets.
RF Code’s EM bundle for distributed network and telecoms closets will include all sensors and readers required to ensure conditions that affect the power and cooling of the room, and the availability and performance of the systems, which can be monitored from any location, remote or local.
Network, or telecoms, closets are noted to be highly essential for data centers. Geographically distributed offices, departmental processing systems, critical applications and intra-company connectivity are all located in rooms not originally designed to house environmentally sensitive technology.
The challenge faced by the engineers in charge of network and wiring closets is as tough as that of their colleagues in the data center. In their case, however, they often don't have the power and cooling infrastructure to monitor and maintain the necessary environment for this critical equipment. These rooms are critical to the performance of organizations, but are difficult to monitor and control.
“RF Code’s economically-priced monitoring bundle will reduce costly downtime, improve efficiency and improve overall awareness of systems performance,” Mitch Medford, chief executive officer of RF Code said in a statement.
RF Code has forged a position as the defacto standard for asset management and environmental monitoring within data centers. It provides live data to the majority of the leading DCIM platforms, as well as enabling automated facilities management through integrations to BMS systems.
Data center operators are paranoid that overheating, or under-cooling, will impact the performance of their facility.
