Water, Fire and Temperature monitoring are a crucial part of data centre design and computer room planning

There are a number of key areas to consider when designing a new comms room, datacentre or computer server room including cabling infrastructure, power management and distribution, air conditions and cooling and racking solutions. Not least of these considerations is how to incorporate environment monitoring at the earliest stage of computer room design to provide security, fire detection, power protection and leak and humidity sensors.

Environment monitoring can ensure that loss and damage in your IT room or rackspace from environment factors such as temperature, water, humidity or smoke can be minimised or avoided all together saving the company both time and money.

Fire Detection as an essential element of any Computer Room Design

Fire is the most destructive risk to any company. A fire in your computer server room will have a overwhelming effect on your company. The most costly method of dealing with a fire is to have to suppress it or deal with the aftermath. A far more efficient method is to detect threats early through monitoring and prevent the risk escalating.

Data Centre Planning to protect against Water Leaks

Water creates a risk that is immediately obvious in a computer room. It may be necessary in some datacentres for certain operations such as air conditioning but this in turn created condensation which must be safely drained to prevent damage to computer room equipment.

interSeptor is a full-featured, scaleable network environmental monitoring device designed to remotely monitor temperature, humidity and other environmental conditions in data centres, computer rooms and racks.

Email and SNMP alerts are available as standard, but combined with our unique Alert Centre facility (UK), interSeptor can also provide automated telephone voice and text alerts 24/7 to give early-warning of impending computer room problems.

Designed for ‘out-of-the-box’ operation, interSeptor is supplied with a dual temperature/humidity sensor, with a second temperature/humidity sensor also available. A range of optional ‘Go-Probe’ sensors to detect security breaches, power failures, smoke and water leaks can also be quickly added to the interSeptor system to provide comprehensive monitoring of your critical environments.

interSeptor can be included at the earliest stage of your computer room design or data centre planning to ensure the highest level of security from environmental threats.
