Monitor Temperature Changes

Temperature can change without us knowing it. There is however a way to find out if there are changes in our temperature. This is made possible through a device known as Temperature@lert . It can monitor changes in ambient temperature and will alert you of the changes via email. It is such a small yet very useful device. See image below.Other features of this product is that it has a real time temperature alerts, a pre-calibrated sensor, runs as a windows service and it requires no batteries nor AC power. If you get one you will also avail of the free software upgrade for a year. It is also a SPEC Power compliant device and the only approved device available with 64-bit drivers. It is currently priced at $129.99.


To know more about this product I have included a press release about it below:

"SPECpower_ssj2008 is the latest installment of an IT industry benchmark evaluates the power and performance characteristics in larger volume server class computers. It was created out of a need to monitor and regroup energy use from the IT industry and computer manufactures around the world.

SPECpower_ssj2008 does not only measure AC power from the source but it delivers a calibrated matrix for all computer functions including ambient temperature. There are two temperature measuring tools that are compatible with SPECpower_ssj2008 and the only one with support for 64-bit drivers is Temperarture@lert.

With the combination of the SPECpower_ssj2008 and Temperature@lert system administrators can run both temperature and power controls. The SPECpower_ssj2008 measures power for the AC input and combines the implementation to a performance metric. This provides pertinent information about what power considerations are made when considering which data center. Coupled with Temperature@lert, the power and temperature gradient works in symbiotic form to provide the best accuracy available in the IT industry.

We'd like to extend a special thanks to Greg D. and his team at Dell Inc. whose deep knowledge and expertise made this possible.
