Data center environmental monitoring is essential for ensuring equipment and personnel safety by tracking and measuring factors such as temperature, humidity, and airflow. Using accurate sensors, like the AUDIT-BUDDY, regular checks and an alert system can prevent equipment failure, reduce downtime, and ensure optimal conditions.

Are you aware that overcooling your data center can have negative consequences on both reliability and availability? In this article, we'll break down why keeping your data center temperature within Ashrae limits is crucial, and how Purkay Labs' thermal audits can help you optimize your cooling and save money on electricity.

Overcooling is a common issue in data centers that often goes unnoticed. It can waste energy, increase operating costs, and decrease the lifespan of your equipment. By using a tool, like the AUDIT-BUDDY and the Static Heat Map, you can identify areas of overcooling and adjust your cooling strategy to optimize energy efficiency and equipment performance. The data will help you to adjust your cooling strategy to save energy, reduce operating costs, and extend the lifespan of your equipment.

As the price of gas continues to rise across the globe, operators are searching for new methods, technologies and strategies to save on electricity costs. One simple solution is to use baseline your existing environment to identify simple airflow inefficiencies. With AUDIT-BUDDY, it’s simple to collect data and take action.
