Netbotz Environmental Monitoring
Preventing Outages by Monitoring, Managing, and Controlling the Data Center Environment.
Data centre threats can be classified into two broad categories, depending on whether they are in the realm of IT software and networking (digital threats) or in the realm of the data centre’s physical support infrastructure (physical threats).
Compute is quickly moving closer to where it is used at the Edge, increasing the risks of water damage, high temperature & humidity, fire or other conditions bringing down business-critical applications.
Remote network locations such as branch offices, network closets, and local point-of-sale locations where it is impractical and unreliable to have people physically present to check conditions such as temperature and humidity, further highlight the need for automated monitoring. With the introduction of unmanned network outposts, IT administrators must have reliable systems in place to know what is going on.
APC NetBotz offers an active monitoring solution designed to protect against environmental threats and unauthorised access risks that can cause downtime to IT infrastructure, in both Edge Computing and Data Centre environments.
The APC Netbotz range includes different rack mountable, IP based monitors which attach to a range of environmental sensors that simply plug in via Ethernet, USB and dry contact. Sensor options include temperature, humidity, fluid / leak, smoke and vibration as well as security options in the form of surveillance cameras and rack access control.
