Environmental Monitoring - Why It’s Crucial to Data Center Success

Data centers are the very core of any IT organization. Therefore, it is of utmost importance that this core is kept healthy and running smoothly at all times. In addition to the right equipment and infrastructure, the environment of a data center plays an important role in determining its performance.

Environmental issues account for nearly 30% of all unexpected downtime, with UPS failures ranking first, followed closely by temperature issues and HVAC failures. With an average cost of $750,000 per outage, it is vital to take precautions against these types of losses.

In this webinar, you'll learn how Black Box's Alertwerks anticipates trends, responds to physical threats, and actively alerts on environmental conditions that can help prevent costly downtime. You will also discover real-life deployments and why these customers chose Black Box.
