Environmental Monitoring
Catch anomalies before they become outages.
Temperature, humidity, leak, smoke, airflow, and access sensors across the white space with ASHRAE-aligned thresholds, ITSM handoff, and documented containment playbooks.

Temperature, humidity, airflow, and containment integrity.
Ticketing, escalation, and containment playbooks.
What we deliver
Temperature & Humidity Sensors
Rack-inlet, mid-rack, and exhaust sensors with aisle-level psychrometry, ASHRAE-envelope alerting, and long-term trend logs for compliance and design evidence.
Water-Leak Detection
Spot and rope leak sensors beneath raised floors, around CRAH units, chilled-water headers, and overhead piping with zoned alerting for rapid isolation.
Smoke & VESDA Aspiration
Very Early Warning Aspirating Smoke Detection (VESDA), spot smoke sensors, and integration with the fire panel for pre-alarm response inside the white space.
Door & Rack Access Sensors
White-space door contacts, rack-front and rear door sensors, RFID and PIN rack locks, and CCTV bookmarking on tamper events.
Air-Pressure & Containment
Cold-aisle and hot-aisle differential pressure sensors, containment integrity monitoring, and airflow-balancing alerts for stranded cooling.
Vibration & Seismic
Vibration sensors on critical rotating plant such as chillers, pumps, and generators, and seismic detection for high-availability sites and predictive-maintenance triggers.
Refrigerant & Gas Leak
Refrigerant leak sensors near chillers and precision-cooling units, and battery-room hydrogen detection for VRLA UPS rooms.
Alerting & Automated Response
Multi-channel alerting through SMS, email, mobile app, incident alerting platforms, and ITSM, with zone escalation and documented isolation playbooks for critical events.
Why teams call us
- Sensor coverage is inconsistent
Racks and aisles have uneven temperature, humidity, and leak coverage, leaving blind spots where excursions can develop unnoticed.
- Alerts arrive without location context
Environmental events reach operations teams without rack, sensor, or zone context, slowing triage and increasing time to isolation.
- Containment integrity is not measured
Hot and cold aisle containment relies on visual inspection rather than differential-pressure and airflow sensors that catch drift over time.
- No feedback loop to design
Trend data is not fed back into rack layout, containment, and set-point decisions, so cooling and energy improvements stall between design cycles.
Our approach
Environmental sensing engineered around ASHRAE-aligned thresholds, aisle-level coverage, and integrated response workflows across facilities and IT operations.
- Assess
Audit existing sensor coverage, aisle-level psychrometry, leak, smoke, and access sensor placement, and current alerting workflows across representative rooms.
- Design
Define sensor layout per rack and aisle, threshold model aligned to ASHRAE guidance, containment monitoring approach, and integration into ITSM, incident alerting, and BMS.
- Implement
Deploy sensors and gateways, integrate with the DCIM alert stream, publish playbooks, and validate end-to-end alerting through controlled test scenarios.
- Support
Maintain sensor health, tune thresholds, review environmental trends, and evolve containment and airflow strategy based on measured data.
End-to-End IT Integration and Support
From assessment and solution design through implementation, remediation, ongoing support, and lifecycle optimization.
Fix What's Broken — Remediation Sprints
Stranded rack capacity, blind spots in power/cooling, stale asset records or DCIM tooling that no-one trusts? We run fixed-scope DCIM remediation sprints to restore data quality and operational visibility.
- Asset inventory reconciliation, rack elevation cleanup and CMDB sync
- Power, cooling and environmental sensor coverage and threshold tuning
- Capacity planning models, alerting hygiene and reporting rebuild
Support & Maintenance — AMC-Backed
Keep DCIM data accurate and the data-centre running efficiently — asset governance, sensor care and vendor escalation under a Jiva AMC.
- L1/L2/L3 DCIM platform support with quarterly data-quality reviews
