1.From the Alerts menu, select Define New Alert. The New Alert window appears with tabbed pages for each type of alert information to be defined.

2.In the Alert Name tab, enter the basic alert information. o Alert name—A unique name or identifier for the alert.

o Alert priority—How often and in what order email notifications are sent to the alert recipient. o Description—Optional location to provide more details about the alert.

3.Select the Message tab, and create the alert notification message.

o Message header—The subject line of the alert notification message o Message body—The content of the alert notification message

o Macros—Data inserted into the message body that cannot be used in the message header:

$MESSAGE$—Displays the data type and actual value that triggered the alert.

$NAME$—Displays the name of the object that triggered the alert.

$LOCATIONS$—Displays the location of the object that triggered the alert.

$TIMESTAMP$—Displays the time stamp when the alert was originally triggered.

4.Select the Objects & Conditions tab, and then adjust the types of objects and values you want evaluated for that alert.

NOTE: Do not create conditions that are mutually exclusive. For example, a top temperature greater than 80°F and a top temperature less than 50°F. Be careful to select Or rather than And.

Data Center EnvIronmental Edge specifications

HP Data Center Environmental Edge is a cutting-edge solution designed to optimize the efficiency and sustainability of data center operations. In an era where data centers consume enormous power and generate significant carbon footprints, HP's Environmental Edge provides an innovative approach to managing these challenges.

One of the main features of the Environmental Edge is its advanced cooling solutions. Traditional cooling systems often operate inefficiently, leading to wasted energy and excessive costs. HP's system incorporates smart cooling technologies that adapt to the specific thermal demands of each data center room. By utilizing a combination of hot aisle/cold aisle containment and dynamic airflow management, the Environmental Edge ensures that cold air is effectively directed where it’s needed most, significantly reducing the amount of energy required to maintain optimal temperatures.

Another key characteristic of the HP Data Center Environmental Edge is its integration with IoT (Internet of Things) technologies. The solution employs a network of sensors that continuously monitor environmental conditions, including temperature, humidity, and air quality. This data is processed in real-time to provide actionable insights, allowing data center operators to make informed decisions regarding energy use and equipment deployment.

HP’s Environmental Edge also emphasizes modularity and scalability. As business needs evolve, data centers require flexible solutions that can grow with them. HP's approach incorporates modular components that can be easily integrated or upgraded, allowing businesses to expand their infrastructure without significant overhauls. This adaptability not only lowers upfront costs but also reduces waste, making it a more sustainable choice for organizations committed to environmental responsibility.

Sustainability is further enhanced through HP’s commitment to energy efficiency. The Environmental Edge utilizes advanced energy management software that calculates power consumption in real-time. This ensures that resources are used efficiently and helps organizations meet their green energy targets. Additionally, the system promotes the use of renewable energy sources, allowing data centers to minimize their reliance on fossil fuels.

In summary, the HP Data Center Environmental Edge stands out with its innovative cooling solutions, integration of IoT technologies, modular design, and energy efficiency initiatives. These features work together to create an intelligent, adaptive, and sustainable environment for data centers, addressing the pressing need for eco-friendly practices in the tech industry. As organizations navigate the complexities of modern data management, HP's Environmental Edge provides the tools needed to thrive in both performance and sustainability.
