Wireless Sensor Technology
The SynapSense Data Center Optimization Platform is comprised of sensor nodes, gateways, routers and server platforms. These solutions are based on a broad range of innovative technologies that provide unique differentiation for our products. Our software technologies address the unique requirements of Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) applications during their development, deployment and long-term management needs.
The SynapSense Wireless Solution enables our customers to:
- Baseline energy utilization, identify improvement opportunities and monitor and validate the implementation of energy saving measures
- Measure real-time PUE
- Interpret temperature, humidity and sub floor pressure differential data from thousands of sense points into intuitive LiveImaging™ maps and movies
- Measure power and incorporate pre existing BMS data via BACnet, Modbus and SNMP
- Monitor environmentals to stay within specified ASHRAE ranges and provide alerts when boundaries are exceeded
“Wireless sensors will have a huge impact on the way we see our environment — from monitoring energy usage to controlling environmental pollution,” said Chuck McParland, Computer Scientist at the Lawrence Berkeley National Labs. “Today, the SynapSense Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is providing us with data center energy usage information that would simply be too difficult to acquire with any other technology. The information provided by this robust design will have an immediate and positive impact on data center operations. And, as this technology moves to other areas, our ability to understand the environment around us will grow.”
Connecting previously unreachable elements in the data center allows greater control and immediate fine-tuning to processes that were inefficient due to the expense involved in installing wired systems. Not only can measurement and control of this equipment improve energy and process efficiency, but it can directly impact capacity and, improve overall energy efficiency.
Impact of the SynapSense Wireless Data Center Optimization Platform can be seen in improved bottom line results and increased efficiency throughout your business. You can’t control or manage what you don’t measure.
The SynapSense wireless sensor network uses a revolutionary architecture while leveraging a wide array of off-the-shelf sensors and existing communication standards to set a new paradigm for monitoring and control. As the data center evolves over time to accommodate new equipment and capacity, the SynapSense Wireless Solution can be easily updated with additional nodes providing incredible flexibility and options that were unavailable before.
