Server Room Monitoring Techniques

Protecting existing server rooms is difficult because most legacy server rooms are dissimilar and the threats are multiple.  One tried-and-true configuration may not work in another server room.  In the blogs to come, we will focus on a variety of methods and devices (manufactured by ITWatchdogs) to monitor server rooms in order to prevent damage and system down-time.

We will cover the five fundamental threats for system down-time:
  • Heat (internal and/or external)
  • Water
  • Fire (or smoke)
  • Power Failure
  • Intrusion
