Technology adoption not being linear, the “Internet of Things” has yet to get more traction with products that can be integrated smoothly into existing system.
Nagios Websensor is a good example which can boost the adoption of environmental monitoring, more specifically in network data center.
Nagios is a IT monitoring solution used widely in network data center. By supplementing their solution with environmental monitoring, greener data center is just one wire away from reality.
It really provides an easy upgrade for network engineers to control their energy consumption, hence their environment footprint.
I wonder how widely the Nagios approach will be adopted, as opposed to that taken by Sentilla , which relies on wireless mesh sensors.
