Some issues in the construction of server rooms

Now on the market many small and medium-sized server room equipment allocation is relatively chaotic, server room processor division of labor is not clear, most of the processor needs to deal with the primary equipment and server room performance, ups, databases, cabinets, sockets, and environmental parameters, and so on, assuming that the onset of the defects, will bring big losses to the enterprise, so to install a set of suitable small and medium-sized server room monitoring system is very necessary. Small server room monitoring all-in-one machines can be a good way to deal with the server room's comprehensive centralized monitoring needs.

What is a small server room monitoring an all-in-one machine?

Often said all-in-one refers to the video recorder and monitor one, can save space, cut equipment, equipment is also convenient, small room monitoring machine is a temperature and humidity collection, infrared remote control signal learning and sending function of the air-conditioning control of the small host, small room monitoring all-in-one, can learn more than 99% of the infrared remote control on the market, and can be manipulated by the two-way switching output, detection of the six-way switching inputs. The control system can control two switch outputs and detect six switch inputs. Telephone or SMS control equipment, room monitoring machine communication protocol, with telephone alarm, SMS alarm, on-site sound, and light alarm function, together with the SD card can be saved through the real-time temperature and humidity, channel conditions, alarm information, and other data, more than three years of preservation.

Small server room monitoring machines can complete the real-time collection of temperature and humidity in the server room, air conditioning remote control, switch control, etc., to facilitate the intelligent processing and monitoring of small server rooms, small server rooms will monitor the processing of a set of reliable and economical processing solutions.

What is industrial control type server room monitoring?

Industrial control refers to industrial active control, the primary use of electronic and electrical, mechanical, and software combination is completed. It is industrial control (Factory control), industrial control machine room is said to be specifically for the industrial site and planning, and has controllability and visibility. According to the network general wiring system, the choice of centralized monitoring, in the computer room monitoring room to place the monitoring host, the job monitoring software, with the same interface to the various sub-systems (power systems, environmental systems, fire systems, security systems, network systems, etc.) will be monitored.

Because the monitoring of the server room requires real-time monitoring 24 hours a day, it puts forward more serious requirements for the function and reliability of the hardware. The selection of general-level computer hardware is not well adapted to such stringent requirements. Not only is it difficult to ensure the stability of the entire system, reliability and functionality, and other aspects of the claim, and in a long time for a long time without continuous operation, the probability of defects is high, and more repeated, which is undoubtedly such an important occasion on the server room is intolerable, especially in some important parts, important areas, such repeated defects are not allowed. So, industrial control room monitoring can satisfy the above operational requirements and has become the favorite room monitoring category. Now the vast majority of room monitoring categories of users, a colorful selection of industrial-grade industrial control room monitoring, to support their room monitoring system.

What is embedded room monitoring?

IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, the American Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) on the embedded system definition: "used to control, supervise or assist in the operation of machines and equipment. (The original text is: Devices Used to Control, Monitor or Assist the Operation of Equipment, Machinery or Plants). An embedded computer room monitoring system is a general use of computer network skills, database skills, communication skills, active control skills, and new sensing skills, such as the composition of the computer network system, supply is a computer skills as the foundation, based on the set of processing monitoring approach to the proactive, intelligent and highly efficient technology approach, system monitoring policy is the primary equipment, such as power and environmental equipment in the computer room, collection, Conversion, processing, alarm in one, can be independent of the network, computer, host computer software operation (such as power distribution, UPS, air conditioning, temperature and humidity, water leakage, smoke, video, access control, lightning, fire systems, etc.), in short, as long as the equipment is powered on, the whole system can operate normally.

Embedded system architecture: Embedded system architecture is clear and simple, consisting of front-end sensors, embedded monitoring, an alarm host, and host computer software's three-layer structure.

Embedded room monitoring system from the collection to the alarm selection of all hardware equipment system, so it has a very high degree of stability, whether the network is stable and monitoring the center of the performance of the device is very low, and all the interfaces (switching access to imports, analog access to imports, 485 signal access to imports, linkage interfaces), the integration of the alarm module integrated into a single unit, the implementation of the equipment and the post-protection is very convenient.

Traditional industrial control and embedded video recorder primary difference (1) industrial control machine with the X86 architecture, embedded with the RISC architecture.

(2) industrial control machine with Windows system, embedded with Linux system.

Industrial DVR (PC-BASED DVR) to industrial control machine as the basic hardware, WINDOWS operating system as the basic software, equipped with video and audio austerity boards, with the help of professional austerity algorithms and PC hardware and software to complete the monitoring system video and audio signals for recording and playback of the equipment. The central equipment of industrial DVR is the video and audio austerity card.

An embedded video recorder is the choice of ARM and DSP hardware path and special embedded operating system (such as vxWork, Psos Linux, etc.). But no matter how the hardware path and operating system, the principle of both are the same and are composed of two major components: video collection and data storage and processing. Only one is the choice of Intel planning to get a widely used program, a special program of their own planning.

Comparison of traditional industrial control and embedded monitoring skills
