Abstract

A server room is a room used to store, power, and operate computer servers and their associated components. This room is part of a data center, which typically houses several physical servers lined up together in different form factors, such as rack-mounted, or in tower or blade enclosures. A data center might consist of several server rooms, each of which is used for separate applications and services. Server room can also be found in the campus of Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka. As we all know, server rooms tend to be hot due to the performances and the usage of the devices that is stored it in. In order to maintain the temperature and humidity of the server room, an admin is assigned to the server room to monitor the condition of the server room and also the performances of the device that is used in it. A server room monitoring system can be used to monitor the humidity and temperature in the server room. In addition, if the temperature in the server room rises, it responds by lowering the temperature. This study makes use of the Internet of Things (IoT), which is a gadget that is employed by the Raspberry Pi and Pocket Lab wireless sensor to read the room's temperature and humidity. Temperature and humidity log data is saved on a cloud server and displayed in real time in a chart diagram. The IoT reaction is based on established temperature norms, and users are notified via the Telegram application on their mobile devices. By using this monitoring system, it will be easier for admins to monitor the server room without actually need to physically check the server room regularly. The solution that is proposed in this project can be useful for present time and in the future as it has added feature. The added feature that is proposed in this project is that we will set a certain threshold on the variables that is affecting the environment of the server room. Also, we proposed a monitoring system that will monitor the server room within the working hour with real time monitoring system and notifications alert. This may be proven useful from using this system as it has high usability, easy to access, and convenient to the people who are in charge of the server room.
