14. An Example of
reactive MENTALITY
- Facility lost one of three phases of utility power !
-
- Computer room A/C units continued to
run until critical failure !
- Automatic thermal shutdown of the servers @RLETechnologies

15. The Proactive
SOLUTION
- Power meters installed on the utility feed !
- Intelligent information pulled from the CRAC units !
-
- Temperature sensors installed in strategic locations !
- Prevent future failures by providing proactive alarms @RLETechnologies

16. 2) Downtime =
lost $$$
