The new HP Data Center Environmental Edge technology helps you address one of the most critical issues in today's data centers - power and cooling. HP Data Center Environmental Edge is an affordable approach to monitoring your data center environment, resulting in optimal use of data center capacity and a reduction in energy costs. HP Data Center Environmental Edge measures, analyzes and visualizes data center environmental parameters, ensuring complete confidence that you're running a much more efficient data center.

Why HP Data Center Environmental Edge?

• Resiliency: Real-time feedback on environmental changes in your data center through data center environmental visualization and customer defined alarms
• Energy savings: Reduces data center cooling energy up to 18% by enabling customers' data center optimization
  • Provides insight into data center infrastructure over-provisioning
  • Supports higher rack operating temperature and chilled water temperature through the data center environmental measurements
• Increased Flexibility: Adapt /upgrade the HP Data Center Environmental Edge hardware and HP Insight Environmental Observer software to meet the changing needs of your data center

HP Data Center Environmental Edge bridges the gap between IT and facilities. HP Data Center Environmental Edge enables both facilities and IT manager's deeper insight into their current data center environment.

Server Racks

• Environmental Base stations will be combined with the HP Data Center Environmental Edge Rack Sensor Array
• Environmental Base Stations and Rack Sensor Array can be mounted either inside the rack on outside the rack. The Rack Sensor Array is mounted down the center of both the front and rear of the rack
• The minimum recommended configuration is to install the base stations once every third rack. Customers can install the base station on every other rack or every rack for increased granularity of data

CRAH/CRAC (Computer Room Air Handlers / Computer Room Air Conditioning)

• One Environmental Base Station and the Plenum Rated Sensor Array will be installed in each CRAH unit
• Environmental Base Stations do not require the customers' CRAH/CRAC units to be modified

Other Locations

• Environmental Base Stations can be located anywhere that the customers wants to gain insight into a specific locations' temperature and humidity

NOTE: The installation of the HP Data Center Environmental Edge recommended base configuration does not require any data center downtime to implement.

• One HP Data Center Environmental Edge Server or server with minimum 4 GB of memory and 250GB of RAID 1 storage
• One HP Insight Environmental Observer S/W
• One Base Station Gateways per 200 base stations, N+1 configuration
• One Environmental Base Station and Plenum Rated Sensor Array per CRAH/CRAC
• One Environmental Base Station and Rack Sensor Array per three racks
• One Air Pressure Base Station per 500 ft2/50 m2 of data center floor space

HP Data Center Environmental Edge Energy Base Station measures kWh (Kilowatt Hours) consumed, Power, Power Factor, Voltage, Current, THD on each electrical line where installed. Two variants of the energy meter exist, 208v or 277/480v version with either 200A or 600A split core CTs.

NOTE: One year parts only warranty (excluding batteries).
NOTE: Energy Base Stations must be installed by a local licensed electrician.

Step 1: Determine base quantity needed for the base recommended configuration:

• One HP Data Center Environmental Edge Server
• One HP Insight Environmental Observer S/W
• Two HP Base Station Gateways minimum, one per 200 base stations, N+1 configuration
• One Environmental Base Station and Plenum Rated Sensor Array per CRAH/CRAC
• One Environmental Base Station and Rack Sensor Array per three racks
• One Air Pressure Base Station per 500 ft2/50 m2 of data center floor space
• One HP Data Center Edge Installer kit per 10,000 ft2/1000 m2

Step 2: Determine extra base stations required for increased granularity

Step 3: Determine optional base stations

HP Data Center Environmental Edge Server
NOTE: Includes HP ProLiant DL180 G6, 6 GB Memory, Microsoft Server 2008 standard.
NOTE: HP Data Center Environmental Edge Server can manage several Base Station gateway networks, deployment license based on installed floor space.
