The \u2019American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning Engineers\u00ab (ASHRAE), the organization that governs the standard for temperature and humidity ranges in data center environments, determined in 2011 that a Class A1 data center must maintain a <em><strong>temperature between 15 \u00b0C and 32 \u00b0C<\/strong><\/em>, and a <em><strong>relative humidity from 20 to 80%<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Temperature is obviously the crucial parameter to monitor in order to anticipate any <strong>risk<\/strong> excessive temperature variations. Overheating can lead to long shutdown times.\u2019<strong>unscheduled downtime<\/strong> servers, damage or disable <strong>destroy material<\/strong> or valuable computer components (CPU, GPU, storage), or worse still, cause a <strong>fire<\/strong>... Without reaching that point, a breakdown implies downtime that impacts the financial performance of the plant, and the confidence of customers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Over and above the safety aspect, thermal and hygrometric monitoring of datacenters has a number of advantages. <strong>numerous financial and environmental challenges<\/strong>. In fact, this sector is <strong>high electricity consumption<\/strong>. By 2030, the <strong>datacenters in the world<\/strong> could use <strong>10% of world electricity production<\/strong> in 2030 (compared with \u00abonly\u00bb 3 % at present), and generate <strong>14% of CO2 emissions<\/strong> emissions by 2040. Solutions to reduce their environmental impact must therefore be integrated to reduce the carbon footprint of datacenters. <em>Keeping a room at 27\u00b0C instead of 22\u00b0C, for example, enables the chilled water system to be turned up, resulting in substantial savings.<\/em>. As a reminder, on average, nearly 40 % of consumption<em> of a datacenter<\/em> is allocated to cooling.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Several types of measuring instruments are available to ensure the serenity and efficiency of your installations. These include :<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><strong>Visit <em>thermo-hygrometers<\/em><\/strong>These are perfectly suited to this type of monitoring, as they measure temperature coupled with hygrometry (relative humidity), and are thus able to calculate the dew point temperature. These parameters are extremely important for datacenters, which require controlled humidity levels to avoid electrostatic discharges caused by excessively dry air. This is to avoid excessive humidity, which leads to oxidation and premature aging of components.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Visit <em>thermocouple thermometers<\/em><\/strong>They measure the critical temperatures of the hottest components in servers (power supplies, processors, memory and heatsinks). They also monitor the overheating and undercooling temperatures of the refrigerant in the air-conditioning units (CRAC, for \u00abComputer Room Air Conditioning\u00bb), to make sure they're working properly.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Visit <em>pressure sensors (manometers)<\/em><\/strong>Pitot or DEBIMO probes for air flow measurement. It is essential to monitor the differential pressure across the air filters (to determine the degree of clogging, and to plan filter changes to reduce operational downtime). Air filters are also very important in preventing the build-up of dust, which catalyzes the formation of electrostatic discharges. Pressure sensors can also be used within hermetically-sealed server rooms (between the cool air intake area in front of the servers - \u00abcold aisles\u00bb - and the hot air exhaust area - \u00abhot aisles\u00bb) to monitor the overpressure of the cold zone in relation to the hot zone, and optimize the overall cooling flow.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">???????????????? ???????????????????????????????????? ???????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????? ???????????? ???????????? produits, ???????????????????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????????????? ????????????????????:\/\/????????????.????????????????????????????.????????\/ ???????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????? ???????????????? ???????? ???????????? ???????????????????????????? <a href=\"mailto:????????????????????????????@????????????????????????????.????????\">????????????????????????????@????????????????????????????.????????<\/a><\/p>\n<pre>#datacenter #bigdata #gestiondedonnees #risque #capteur #mesure #temperature #humidite #pression<\/pre>\n<h4>Internet technologies, the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence, cloud computing... are driving an explosion in the amount of data produced worldwide, and consequently in the number of datacenters needed to manage and store it.<\/h4>\n<p>According to market research by Grand View Research, the <strong>global data center market<\/strong> should see a <strong>annual growth rate of 11.7% between 2021 and 2028<\/strong>.<br \/>\nIn this fast-growing sector <strong>requirements<\/strong> and the challenges are many:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>ensure <strong>service continuity<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>implement <strong>agile solutions<\/strong> in case of unforeseen events<\/li>\n<li><strong>securing installations<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>respond to <strong>energy transition challenges<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>optimize performance<\/strong> infrastructure<\/li>\n<li>while guaranteeing <strong>profitability<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Un datacenter est un microcosme \u00e0 part enti\u00e8re : il doit y faire chaud, mais pas trop ; humide, mais pas trop ; l\u2019air doit \u00eatre sain\u2026 L\u2019 \u00ab\u00a0American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning Engineers\u00a0\u00bb (ASHRAE), organisme qui r\u00e9git la norme pour les plages de temp\u00e9rature et d\u2019humidit\u00e9 des environnements de datacenter, a d\u00e9termin\u00e9 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7059,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6148","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-actualites"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mesurex-sensors.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6148","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mesurex-sensors.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mesurex-sensors.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mesurex-sensors.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mesurex-sensors.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6148"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/mesurex-sensors.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6148\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7058,"href":"https:\/\/mesurex-sensors.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6148\/revisions\/7058"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mesurex-sensors.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7059"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mesurex-sensors.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6148"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mesurex-sensors.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6148"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mesurex-sensors.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6148"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
