RF
Code, a leading provider of real-time
physical asset management and environmental monitoring solutions for
data centers, today announced successful
deployment of real-time environmental monitoring solutions for DataVita,
the UK’s only Uptime Institute-certified Tier 3 data center north of
London.
This installation addresses DataVita’s need to guarantee 100% uptime for
its customers, and improve cooling equipment efficiency by eliminating
overcooling. With immediate notification of issues to the network
operating center and real-time notification to security to identify
opening of rack doors, RF Code provided necessary improvements on
visibility and auditability of DataVita’s operations. This installation
enabled DataVita to move from simply monitoring building management
system controllers to dynamically controlling the system with real-time
sensor data.
“We have a 100% SLA and we pay our customers if we don’t maintain that
SLA for even one second,” says Graeme Logie, Operations Director at
DataVita. “RF Code’s real-time technology gives us complete
transparency, which allows us to show our customers that we’re hitting
those SLAs.”
RF Code deployed 300 sensors across all 200 racks under management, to
monitor temperature, humidity, hot aisles, returns, ducting, and cooling
system; then integrated the real-time data capture with cooling controls
in parallel with the building management system.
“We were eager to work on this project with DataVita,” said David
Williams, Executive Vice President, Products and Marketing at RF Code.
“One hundred percent uptime is a critical element of their guarantee to
customers and we were thrilled to work closely with them to deliver on
this promise. We understand that operational concern and our real-time
monitoring solutions provided the equipment and reporting capabilities
they needed.”
