• Resumen

  • Real-time monitoring of the status of the devices available in Data Centers (DC) is a critical task to try to provide quality services to customers, but also to detect possible hardware/- software incidents or to act against cyber-attacks. To perform these functions, there are specific system and network monitoring tools on the market that supervise different device functionalities (CPU, memory, storage, network, processes, services, etc.). However, these systems do not include the monitoring of basic elements for the correct operation of these devices, such as environmental parameters (power supply, temperature, humidity, noise, etc.). In this project we have designed and built a prototype embedded system, both hardware and software, to monitor in real time each device inside a rack and capable of integrating a wide variety of sensors. The hardware device is composed of: motherboard, power supply, infrared temperature sensor, noise level sensor, current consumption meter, 220VAC real input voltage meter, electronic module to switch on/off the 220VAC output and WiFi module to send the information
