   A simply way to monitor and protect IT Equipment in your Computer Room

 

Your IT Department has put in not just a lot of efforts in protecting your business data by backing up your servers, installing firewalls and virus protection, but also has constantly keeping all the protection up-to-date.
 

What about those more tangible threats?

 

Do you have any hot spot in a server racks? If the cooling system shuts down, how will you know when the temperatures climb out of control? Are you alerted to humidity changes, water leaks, or unauthorized entrance to the computer room that threaten your IT equipment?

 

When mission critical IT equipment is at risk, valuable data that your company depend on is at risk too.

 

Planning for the unexpected is a critical task because there are now more systems performing mission-critical functions than ever before. These systems are often deployed without the proper environmental infrastructure to support them. As well, IT equipment density has been increased steadily, which is creating more stress on air condition, ventilation, and power. That’s where environmental monitoring systems can help you reduce threats and system downtime.

 

It is simple to guard your mission-critical IT equipment against physical threats with AlertWerks ServSensor II V4E Environmental monitoring and video alerting system.

 

 

AlertWerks SerSensor II V4E Monitoring system provides temperature, water leak, humidity, fire, security, motion detection, smoke detection, airflow, air conditioning, and voltage monitoring. Should there be a problem in your computer room, AlertWerks will notify your on-call IT staff with audible alarms, e-mail, SNMP, text messages, or fax, no matter where you are happen to be.

 

What are the benefits of environmental monitoring:

 

  • Reduced business downtime — When any IT equipment is about go wrong, your IT staff is the first to know about it. It minimizes system down downtime by alerting IT staff about conditions that can cause damage to servers and other network devices, and so reduce business downtime.

  •  

  • Protect IT investment and extend lifespan of IT equipment — AlertWerks environmental monitoring systems are easy to implement. They help you cut expensive replacement equipment costs, because your equipment will work better and last longer.

Voltage Sensors

Power Monitor sensor

Photoelectric Smoke Detector Sensor

Digital I/O Sensors

Siren and Strobe Light

Power Switch

Motion Detection Sensor

Intelli-Pass™ Biometric Access

High-resolution dome cameras

 

The ServSensor II V4E is easy to install and setup. Simply assign an IP address and connect it to the INternet. Plug in any Intelligent Sensors and the ServSensor’s auto sensing feature will recognize the type of sensors and automatically configure the sensors. If eight RJ45 ports on ServSensor is not enough to handle all your sensors, simply add an expansion hub to take on more sensors, add another one for even more sensors.
