Before we start, let us be clear about one thing: environmental monitoring and measurement systems are critical components in managing your data center. This is not a ‘one versus the other’ paper.

Here are three compelling reasons why relying on monitoring alone will leave you vulnerable… and three reasons why a dedicated data center computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tool will overcome these limitations. In short, here are the reasons why you should have both monitoring and CFD.
