Sensors

Highest process stability during operation

The monitoring of various parameters in the server racks is done by specific sensors by EMKA Electronics. The sensor program of EMKA Electronics includes all relevant parameters for measuring and monitoring the operating statuses of server racks. The measured data are centrally captured and analysed. They can trigger alarms, switch on fans or air conditioning units or effect the emergency opening of the rack doors when user-defined limits are exceeded. In combination with the software Control Cockpit, the data provide a basis for increasing the energy efficiency of data centres.
