Environment Monitoring
Critical applications depend on reliable equipment and comprehensive threat resolution to ensure your operation continues without interruption. Accurately assessing risks before they compromise operation requires continuous, detailed visibility throughout your facility
Operational
Visibility
On average, data center downtime costs upwards of $8,000 per minute. Short interruptions can have expensive consequences, and small environmental changes can have disastrous repercussions. Minimizing and preventing downtime is all about quickly and accurately detecting points of failure.
Quantifying Downtime
Data Insight
Activity-Based Cost
MULTIPLYING LOSSES: Downtime costs are calculated as a function of time, with consequences worsening as inaction continues. Issues that cause downtime can spread quickly, so the longer detection takes, the longer containment and recovery efforts will take. This means that compromised systems will continue to double total estimated losses until the error is detected. When downtime averages an $8000 cost per minute, financial impact can snowball quickly.
While unexpected downtime events can lead to significant asset or equipment losses, over 60% of the average financial impact comes from indirect and opportunity costs. In most cases, these stem not from catastrophic failures, but from undetected vulnerabilities in power, cooling, and environmental systems. It is the small, unexpected disruptions that typically cost critical facilities the most in the long run.
AVERAGE LOSSES: The following graph breaks down the average total losses from a single 90-minute downtime event at a mid-sized data center.

CARBON DIOXIDE: The WiNG-CO2 wirelessly measures carbon dioxide, temperature, and humidity and can detect impeded airflow, stalled fans, leaks, blockages, or clogged filters.
AIR PRESSURE: The WiNG-DAP wirelessly monitors air pressure to help you better understand how air flows around your environment and validate infrastructure and airflow changes.
AIR VELOCITY: Parameter offers three WiNG air velocity sensors: the economical WiNG-AIR3, the high-precision WiNG-AIR4, and wide-ranged BMS-AIR10.
Signals

POWER FAIL: The power fail monitor (PFM) monitors any standard outlet and provides early warning that power has been lost.
DIGITAL INPUT: The WiNG-DI sensor allows you to take a wired digital input and convert it to a wireless signal that can be implemented into a WiNG-MGR or BMS-WiNG monitoring system.
ANALOG INPUT: The WiNG-ANLG sensor allows you to take a wired analog input and convert it into a wireless signal that can be implemented into a WiNG-MGR monitoring system.
MOTION & DOORS: The MD3 is a wired motion sensor while the MDS is a wired magnetic door sensor. Both can be used in conjunction withe FMS, F200, or WiNG-MGR.
