This is because many companies would rent warehouse space to store server racks and other equipment. However, it is difficult to monitor and control temperature and relative humidity levels in these shared environments.<\/p><p>Unregulated temperature fluctuations often lead to equipment failure, decreased energy efficiency, and increased operational costs. For existing centers, attempts to retroactively install systems to monitor the environment present logistical and financial challenges; Wired monitoring systems are complex to install, expensive, and difficult to scale as data centers expand. The demand for extra power from AI platforms even further exacerbates overheating issues.<\/p>","use_case_problem_title":"What is an affordable, scalable way to monitor data center server racks to prevent overheating?","use_case_results":"<p>Implementing the HOBOnet Remote Sensor Network during data center construction gives greater control over existing and future environmental monitoring needs. Real-time data access reduces the risk of equipment failure and improves operational costs. In addition, managers can access historical temp\/RH data in LI-COR Cloud to analyze trends and patterns over time.
