Technical Details

The measured values of all of the components integrated into the power distribution system of a data centre and the environmental parameters measured by sensors can also be recorded wirelessly using conventional web, copper cable or fibre optic connections and then transmitted wirelessly to a dedicated management tool, a system-wide DCIM (Data Centre Infrastructure Management) or BMS (Building Management System solution). We provide the necessary wireless monitoring systems via our manufacturer partners, Starline and Packet Power. This way, you have all of the tools you need to centrally control, analyse, evaluate and ultimately optimise your entire power infrastructure and the environmental conditions in your data centre.

Benefits

• Packet Power- environmental and power monitoring solution allows you to map facility heat and power usage in real time.

• Monitor power at any combination of device and circuit level for thousands of devices in multiple facilities.

• Measure temperature, pressure and relative humidity.

• Export data via SNMP or use Packet Power applications.

• Deploy quickly and at a fraction of the cost of intelligent power distribution units (PDUs) or branch circuit monitoring.

• Extend the useful life of power constrained data centres.

• Quantify energy efficiency savings.

• Correctly allocate energy costs.

• Avoid power and temperature related outages

• Supports several Schneider power meters and RLE leak detection controllers in addition to APC, Geist and Servertech devices.
