PureLogic IT Solutions is pleased to introduce the EDX DC-3 environmental monitoring solution, which has been specifically designed to monitor and report on power, temperature and humidity conditions within a data centre, in real-time.

The EDX DC-3 solution utilizes wireless and non-intrusive technologies, including a carbon footprint calculator, to monitor all aspects of a data centre's environmental conditions, so that real-time and on-going operations can be optimized to reduce costs and your data centre carbon footprint.

With the proper environmental monitoring and balancing, these data centres could potentially save 50% of their power costs, and, for example, mid-sized data centres can reduce their CO2 emissions by over 350 metric tons per year. (source: IMS-Integrated Monitoring Solutions)

Power consumption is a significant and on-going issue for data centres, which, if reduced;

• can provide important ways for data centres to look at decreasing their carbon footprint
• minimize their operational costs and
• extend the life of their facility, and the included equipment.

The EDX DC-3 bundle includes real-time temperature and humidity monitoring that can be used to minimize:

• localized hot and cold spots, which may adversely affect system performance, and
• the associated heating and cooling costs

The temperature and humidity offerings include:

• 2D thermal mapping as part of the initial assessment and also available in real time 
• Real time temperature and humidity readings and historical comparisons
• Real time wireless alerts to PC and mobile devices, if any of the temperature or humidity readings exceed user-defined thresholds
• Detailed rack level monitoring - temperature is monitored and measured both by wireless temperature sensors as well as four temperature probes in each rack.

Green IT Solution

• Save up to 50% on data center power costs (source: IMS-Integrated Monitoring Solutions)
• Cut CO2 emissions in half
• Fulfill Corporate Social Responsibility targets.

Bundled Solution

• Designed to be retrofitted to existing data centers
• Easy & low cost to implement and use
• Fast ROI.

Comprehensive Service

• Detailed initial assessment of the power, temperature and humidity characteristics of the data center
• Granular real-time monitoring of power, temperature and humidity presented 24/7 through an on-line dashboard
• Peace of mind from user definable real time alerts with notification.

In working with the DC3 technology in assessing datacenters of all sizes, our practice is to work with the tool to provide a 30 day comprehensive report with full recommendations specific to each environment. Outside of the full assessment documentation and yearly monitoring, PureLogic IT offers a fully managed statement of work and implementation plan. This plan takes the project to the next level with a clear and concise methodology on how to maximize your investment. We achieve this with project managed target dates, technology recommendations and statement of work to provide overall power reduction and data centre efficiencies. Our experts execution includes all aspects of the recommended changes in the physical datacenter including; movement of racked systems, cabling, HVAC, electrical as well as the IT related consolidations of applications, systems, storage and backup.
