We are working on re-branding our Wire-free RFID Environment Monitoring solution to "DC Insight". We have a couple more success cases in the past quarter and we received lots of positive feedbacks from our customers. As we work more closely with our customers, we are seeing demands in other area which is not necessary "environment monitoring". We are activily pursuing integration with other hardware to provide a more "holistic" monitoring for data centers, hence the new branding of "DC Insight". It is an exciting time at Quantum Data Systems. Our customers can be sure their investment is future proof and will continue to grow with their organization.
On another note, there is a new Differential Air Pressure sensor available with our DC Insight solution.
Why do we need to measure differential air pressure? As you probably know, air travels from high pressure zone to low pressure zone. In a data centre with a raise floor system, the cold air is forced out of the air plenum below the raise floor when there is a air pressure difference above and below the raise floor.
However, the air pressure within the data centre raise floor can vary drastically due to blockage such as cables, pipings and/or power trunking below the raise floor.
In a typical data center with raise-floor and hot/colde aisles, we can easily install these wire-free differential air pressure at each end and the center of each cold aisle to ensure their is sufficient static pressure below the cold aisle. Customers will also be able to compare the differential air pressure between each cold aisle and determine whether there is blockage below the raise floor.
Above is a sample live chart of the differential air pressure at our office. It measure the differential air-pressure between our ambient office space and inside the ducting of our central air-conditioning system. As you can see, we can kind of deduce when our A/C system turn on and off.
