AKCP Monitors Mechanical Room for Simon Fraser University Data Center

BURNABY, British Columbia - EntSun -- Simon Fraser University has constructed a new research data center. It is a 175 rack facility that houses Cedar, the world's 50th largest supercomputer. Construction was recently completed with 107 racks fully populated. AKCP sensor solutions were chosen to monitor the data center and the mechanical room which houses the chilled water plant equipment.

In the initial phase, spot and rope water sensors have been installed in the mechanical room connected with AKCP sensorProbeX+ SNMP enabled base units. The spot and rope water sensors are placed at key points where leaks are most likely to occur. Rope water sensors are laid out along the lengths of pipes or perimeter of an enclosure. They are ideal for monitoring a larger area where leaks can occur in different locations. Spot water sensors cover a small area. Most suitably used in drip trays or small enclosed spaces. Through the AKCP monitoring system, alerts are sent to the network management software so potential disasters can be averted.
