Don't overlook real-time climate monitoring in the data center

The right gear will tell you everything you want to know
Not every piece of climate monitoring tech is a right fit for each data center. After all, different facilities have widely different set-up and climate control needs - IT teams are best served by choosing monitoring equipment designed specifically to monitor the cooling strategy that the company has invested in. For example, for a facility that utilizes liquid cooling, IT teams need measuring tools that track supply temperature of cooling units, the rate and flow of chilled liquids and the humidity and temperature of the airspace near the facility's racks, said Data Center Knowledge. Such devices can often be made compatible with your current data center infrastructure via a Serial-to-Ethernet converter, making it easy to connect the company's data center to efficiency-boosting peripherals.

Perle's serial to Ethernet converters connect serial based equipment across an Ethernet network. The Perle IOLAN range of Console Servers, Device Servers and Terminal Servers feature built-in support for IPv6 along with a broad range of authentication methods and encryption technologies.
