Environmental Monitoring

• Facts Figures
• Approximately 30 of a companys critical
  infrastructure assets are in unmonitored,
  sub-optimal locations
• Physical density of the
  spaces in
  which critical
  gear is placed has
  increased
• Network equipment internal
  workings have become
  more
  dense, thus increasing the need
  for
  more power and better
  cooling solutions

5
Environmental Monitoring

• Facts Figures
• Blade servers have contributed to the increase in
  heat emission
• A rack of blade servers can generate as much as
  20 kilowatts of heat output (about the amount of
  heat given off by three household electric ovens)
• For every increase of 10ºC above 20ºC, long term
  electronics reliability is reduced by 50
• Computer equipment ages faster when it gets hot!

6
Environmental Monitoring

• Facts Figures
• The average wiring closet contains 150,000 to
  300,000 of equipment, with a typical small
  server room housing more than three times that
  amount
• Downtime costs for most companies can run
  anywhere from 10,000 to 100,000an hour!
• Most companies spend 70-90 of their budgets
  maintaining existing networks

You Asked

• I have benefited from measuring the current draw
  in my deployment -- however, I would like to be
  able to monitor additional factors that affect
  the performance of my equipment, such as
• Temperature Airflow
• Humidity
• Moisture Security
• What does Geist offer to monitor these factors?
