SERVER RACK APPARATUS WITH STRUT AND STRAIN GAUGE

Abstract: systems and methods support a server rack mechanically and gather sensor data from the server rack. for instance, the system may include an apparatus having a frame that is configured to add stiffening to a server rack. on the frame may be disposed various sensors and a computing system to measure stress and strain of the server rack as well as any other appropriate characteristic. the frame may include struts having strain gauges therein, where the strain gauges provide a measurement of stress or strain. various sensor data may be transmitted from the apparatus to a component outside of the apparatus, such as a data center monitoring application.
