how does data centre monitoring work?
Data centre monitoring gives IT managers valuable insights into the health and performance of your data centre. 24/7 monitoring allows IT staff to have visibility on a data centre’s status by tracking metrics and providing real time alerts if a reading is too high or too low. There is also technology available that checks the environment of the data centre, known as environmental monitoring systems (EMS).

Tips To Design a Data Centre For Efficiency
In 2006, the power usage effectiveness (PUE) measurement was developed as a way to monitor how a data centre uses energy. This metric is a calculation of the total amount of energy used in the centre divided by power used by its computer systems. Using this method, you can calculate how energy efficient your data centre design is.
