Measurement and Management Technologies for Data Centers - Measurement and Sensing
MMT fuses data from different sources. The role of external (or MMT-) sensors lies in the
complementation and calibration of any existing monitoring systems. MMT measures
temperature, air flow, pressure, power, current and corrosion levels. Specifically, we
leverage both real-time sensor networks as well as an earlier developed MMT scanning tool,
which yields a very high resolution heat distribution and thermal assessment. MMT-sensors
are equipment-type agnostic, which makes this technology broadly available. Wired and
wireless sensor solutions from different vendors are supported as well as the Low-Power Mote
Technology, a novel wireless sensing platform. MMT utilizes a series of adapters which can
communicate with facility monitoring systems using common interfaces (SNMP, SOAP, BACNet,
OPC). IT-bound (or IT internal) sensor data is obtained using standard interfaces or other
software such as IBM’s active energy manager or Tivoli’s monitoring tools.
