The significance of server room environment monitoring

The server room environment monitoring system has stable, reliable, practical and expandable system features. As an intelligent monitoring system for data center infrastructure, it allows operation and maintenance personnel to know the operation status of the server room at all times, adds color to the management and maintenance system of intelligent analysis, linkage control and humanized warning, and helps create energy-saving and green server rooms.

The significance of the server room environment monitoring system is reflected in the following two points.

1. The significance of environment monitoring system for availability management

(1) The so-called "availability": "The ability of a configuration item or IT service to perform agreed functions as needed. Availability depends on reliability, maintainability, serviceability, performance, and security. Availability is usually calculated as a percentage. This calculation is usually based on agreement service time and downtime."

(2) High availability IT management: It refers to the process of improving and optimizing key elements of high availability, such as IT architecture and operation and maintenance management, infrastructure and management, disaster recovery construction and operation and maintenance, security and management, to enhance the availability of IT systems, so as to better guarantee continuous business operation and innovation.

2. Role of server room environment monitoring system for data center operation

(1) Event management and availability management

a. With the development of technology, many third-party monitoring tools have started to appear. These tools can realize centralized data collection across devices, platforms and systems, as well as set corresponding threshold values for different monitoring objects, and eventually also realize unified presentation and alerting.

b. The availability of these tools allows IT managers to discover failures of managed components in a faster and more accurate way. This buys valuable time for fault repair and service recovery, and improves the availability of the entire infrastructure.

(2) Capacity Management

a. The monitoring management also makes use of the performance acquisition function of the monitoring tool to monitor the key performance points of some critical applications and obtain the performance data of these key points to evaluate the capacity of the IT system.

b. When the current performance of IT components is found to deviate from the original capacity plan, the performance of these organizations can be expanded in a timely manner to reduce the possibility of business interruption due to insufficient performance.

(3) Security Management and Compliance Management

Monitoring management can use some of the current security monitoring tools to check the security of the components and the compliance of the operation with the compliance requirements. The server room environment monitoring system is providing first-class technical guarantee means and reliable scientific strategies for the normal operation of today's large and small server rooms in various industries.
