Rittal and IBM tools combine to regulate and reduce a data centre's energy consumption

Key benefits

• The higher flow temperatures provide greater potential for improving climate control; the energy-efficient arrangement of the dynamic IT infrastructure is performed while the system runs through a systematic diagnosis and analysis of all infrastructure parameters such as temperature, humidity or CPU usage.
• Rizone recognises the MMT as an SNMP-enabled terminal device; while Rizone monitors the data from the data centre, MMT ensures the optimisation.
• The interaction of both products provides a complete view of the entire infrastructure and enables the MMT to regulate and control active processes such as the server standby or the cooling units.
• Rizone also monitors, regulates and manages the access, power supply and security of data centres in a modular and scalable way; this means that the solution can be used in applications ranging from an individual rack in a data centre to a company’s complete information technology setup.
• It can also be combined with a management system such as the MMT, which is based on real-time sensor networks and summarises the data from various sensors such as those for temperature, air flow, power and corrosion to a physical analysis application.
