The EnviroCube from TrendPoint Systems is designed to prevent heat-related data center downtime while also improving energy efficiency-goals that were previously thought to be mutually exclusive in data center management. EnviroCube monitors a full spectrum of electrical and environmental metrics that have been proven to indicate cooling inefficiencies before they cause heat-related downtime, which can happen in a matter of seconds if a cooling unit fails. The EnviroCube also provides the first set of metrics that allows cooling units to be tuned to their best possible performance, which has been shown to cut cooling costs by up to 30 percent. The energy management appliance also enables power and cooling units to run in a manner that extends equipment life, making them much less likely to fail, and ensuring that they perform at maximum energy efficiency. The EnviroCube energy management app uses HTML to render live graphs of all key metrics required to manage cooling performance.
