Remote Data Centre Monitoring System Based On The Arduino Microcontroller.

Abstract

COVID 19 forced most workers to work from home to stem the tide of infections. Data centers environment requires continuous monitoring by the technical personnel hence the need for system that could allow remote working. Most institutions desire to reduce cost and better management of the available resources including energy that contribute immersely in running data centers. Moreover grid power is not always reliable hence the need to use generators as backup in case of power outages which consume fossil fuels. The aim of the research was to design and implement a sensor based data centre management system using the Arduino microcontroller.. The research methodology adopted was an engineering approach. The output is a prototype of data center monitoring system that enable the data center workers to work from their homes and meet the desired COVID-19 Protocol of social distancing
