From the AREO-DC dashboard, users can drill down to specific data centers and specific racks within a data center, and bring up side-by-side views of various factors, such as energy usage vis-??-vis indoor and/or outdoor temperature. Alerts can be generated when heat- and energy-use thresholds or user-defined financial thresholds are exceeded.
Energy Optimizer Family Expands With Addition of Thermal Monitoring
The new product extends Arch Rock's original Energy Optimizer, introduced in April 2009, with upgraded software and new thermal, flow and pressure sensor nodes. The earlier product provided real-time, circuit-level visibility into a building's electric power consumption, letting facilities managers boost efficiency and gear usage patterns to accommodate utilities' demand-response and other incentive programs. To this power-monitoring and analysis function, AREO-DC now adds thermal efficiency monitoring, which is critical to a densely-packed data center, where efficient cooling plant operation is vulnerable to seemingly minor rack or floor openings or tiny variations in air flow.
Because it relies on Arch Rock's PhyNet enterprise-class IP-based wireless sensor network (WSN) technology, AREO-DC can be used to securely monitor and centrally manage multiple data centers and/or other facilities located in remote locations, as part of the corporate IT infrastructure.
Keeping Server Racks Cool Enough - But No Cooler Than Necessary
The new HPE Aruba 730 series Wi-Fi 7 access points tout high performance, enhanced security, location tracking capabilities, and more.
Verizon is demoing crowd analytics technology that uses 5G along with AI and mobile edge computing to give stadium operators insights into the flow of fans throughout a venue.
As we move closer to fully realizing the potential of Wi-Fi 7, it becomes evident that the RF, signaling, and throughput tests are not merely procedural checkpoints but the pillars of excellence in wireless communication.
