There are cards that APC uses to monitor environment controls like this. Our
alarm company put a temperature sensor in our server room for us. If the
temperature goes above or below a certain level it alerts the alarm company
who then calls us.

Subject: Power Outage - Heating Up
We have a rather large facility, raised floor and air conditioned. We have a
backup generator that handle the Computer Room really well during a power
outage except it was never sized to handle the Air cooling unit.
We had a rolling black out recently that lasted two hours and the room got
very very hot. Yes, I am in California.
We are in the process of enlarging the Computer room and we are going to
resize the generator at that time. But, my question is - is there some way
we can setup some type of alert if the temp in the room goes up? It needs to
be able to send an email or place a call in case it happened after normal
work hours. Anyone have any ideas? How about a way to send an alert if the
air unit loses power? If we could setup alerts we could gracefully shut
servers down remotely if need be or something.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
