DATACENTER: Real data center data

[Sean Donelan <sean@donelan.com>]

Collecting scientific data about computer room environments is
always difficult.  Vendors, owners and architects have different
goals.  So the spec sheets don't always tell the true story.

I would like to collect some actual data the environment in the
typical commercial colocation data center.  

So I would like to find several people willing to put a environment
logger with their equipment.  I would collect the data and use it
in aggregate to identify what temperature and humidity range is
realistic for hardware.  I would only use the data in aggregate, not
to identify any particular data center.  All participants would
receive a copy of my final report.

I have portable data loggers I can loan a few people.  At the end of
three months, send me the logger back, and I can download the data.
Since I paid for the data loggers myself, I really want them back, so
forgive me if I'm a bit picky about to whom I loan them.

If you prefer to get your own logger, I can use the data files created
by the Onset Computer HOBO H8 RH/Temp Logger.  You can download the
data from the logger yourself, and e-mail the data to me.

See http://www.onsetcomputer.com/ for ordering and pricing.

Contact me, and I will tell you the settings, so the data will match.
