Protect Your Computer Equipment

It doesn't take long for a home based business, or small business, to collect more than $10 000 worth of servers and computers. Their loss may not be covered by insurance if the business owner did not take 'prudent care of the room.' Is your computer running too slow - maybe it is because it is not cool enough.

The small business doesn't need to focus on the temperature of the computer room - but the temperature of the computers:

SPECpower_ssj2008 is the latest installment of an IT industry benchmark evaluates the power and performance characteristics in larger volume server class computers. It was created out of a need to monitor and regroup energy use from the IT industry and computer manufactures around the world.

SPECpower_ssj2008 does not only measure AC power from the source but it delivers a calibrated matrix for all computer functions including ambient temperature. There are two temperature measuring tools that are compatible with SPECpower_ssj2008 and the only one with support for 64-bit drivers is Temperarture@lert.

With the combination of the SPECpower_ssj2008 and Temperature@lert system administrators can run both temperature and power controls. The SPECpower_ssj2008 measures power for the AC input and combines the implementation to a performance metric. This provides pertinent information about what power considerations are made when considering which data center. Coupled with Temperature@lert, the power and temperature gradient works in symbiotic form to provide the best accuracy available in the IT industry. Temperature@lert is the only approved device with 64bit drivers.

We'd like to extend a special thanks to Greg D. and his team at Dell Inc. whose deep knowledge and expertise made this possible.

What happens when everything in your computer room heats up? Nothing. And, nothing, is by far the worst disaster that can happen in any small business.
