Managing the data center environment with HP Environmental Edge
HP Environmental Edge technology helps you monitor two critical areas of the data center: power and
cooling. Using sensors with wireless radio modules and software running on an Environmental Edge
server, HP Environmental Edge measures, compiles, and analyzes data center power and cooling
data. By presenting a thermal map of the data center environment (Figure 14), HP Environmental
Edge technology lets you adjust for potential infrastructure issues to make the most of data center
capacity and reduce cooling costs.
