We had our alarm company - ADT setup a temp monitor in our server room.
It was tied into the alarm system. If the temp went above a specified
limit, they would immediately call us. Worked very well.

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.
Gordon
