Abstract

This research paper presents a temperature monitoring system of servers and active devices

inside data center room via simulated sensor network. Continuous temperature monitoring in data

center is very important for reliably operating the computing equipment and minimizing the

required cooling energy. The presented system composed of three parts (part-1, part-2 and part-3)

and it works based on the relationship among these three parts. Part-1 means simulated wireless

sensors that created to represent data center’s temperature. Part-2 is a SQL database server to

receive sensors temperature data. Lastly, part-3 is the network administrator's monitoring tool that

is installed on a personal digital assistance (PDA) or Tablet

Keywords: Data Center Monitoring, PDA, Temperature and Humidity, Alert Message,

Simulated Sensors.
