Is 10 year old temperature data really worth ANYTHING? (Unless you are the weather forecasters.)? While the cost per megabyte is low, that assumes that the machine you use to store it... and the backup tapes and labor you use to back it up, and the staff you take to support the processes are

Steve, Several hundred sensors? Most data centers will run out of floor space before you can put that many racks in the room! We haven't seen much value in a sensor per machine.. the air is so mixed by the fans in the box that you really can't predict much about what is going on with

Our sensor network is two separate runs off of a (http://www.aag.com.mx) TAI8595 hub. One run goes around the ceiling and to the air handler sensors. We have sensors in each quadrant of the room, and a humidity/temp sensor in the center. We placed our sensors in the center of each quadrant of

Ryan, Some comments from the peanut gallery. I've built a few large setups, data/colo, networking and video production. I never counted racks, so I guess that means they had a bunch. For us everything was driven of mean power per volume. Everything else came and went, but changing that took

I could use a little help with the design of my 1-wire network. My intention is to build a temperature sensing grid throughout a data center using several hundred sensors. 1. Out of the available supported interfaces (RS232: ibuttonlink, DS9097E, DS9097; USB: DS9490, PuceBaboon), which would you
