You can’t manage what you don’t measure. Wireless sensors provide a way for data center managers to begin collecting data on exisitng facilities. In this presentation at
DataCenterDynamics [1] San Francisco in July, Dale Sartor from
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory discusses the implementation of a wireless monitoring system using sensors from SynapSense. LBNL’s 700-point system measures temperature, humidity and under-floor pressure. Sartor also discusses other best practices at LBNL in this 7 minute, 15 second video.
