Abstract


The advancement of the Internet of Things (IoT) has enabled greater efficiency in monitoring environments, allowing a better management and discovery of the conditions where the application is inserted. This feature is useful for monitoring High Performance Computing (CAD) environments that require tight control of local conditions. The environment management has become essential with the popularization of Cloud Computing, since an inoperative environment is a critical problem. This work presents a thermal and eletrical control system for CAD environments using IoT. The system monitors the temperature, humidity and electrical power supply of the data center room.
