- Alert the systems/network administrator, when environmental conditions go out of range to initiate damage control measures before casualty
- Safeguard intellectual property of the enterprise in unmanned areas and after work hours
- Empower the systems/network administrator to multitask and eliminate the need to be within the facility for monitoring and maintenance all the time
Any day, all of a sudden, networks could go down because high temperature, humidity or other environmental factors can cause a network component to fail. It could even be because of a security lapse.
Constant monitoring of the environment, power supply and human activities is mission-critical to ensure that air conditioning and blowers run properly, water leaks don't occur, power supply units don't fail, alarms do not escalate into a major damage, human error and deliberate tampering do not lead to loss of lives and infrastructure assets.
The distributed nature of the today's unmanned infrastructure, coupled with an industry wide shortage of skilled IT workers, leaves little time for IT staff to physically watch all the territory of the company's server farms. The time it takes to fix a network disaster after it happens, almost always equals the time a network is down. Instances of server farms facing sudden blackouts are a common woe. Automatic switch over to backup power system followed by backup generator can keep the server farm up and running including the servers and air conditioners. Sometimes during the automatic switch over, equipment like the AC shut down due to compressor stall condition and fail to function in the alternate power supply mode.
The intelligent sensors ensure that: unpredictable catastrophes do not strike your infrastructure, disruption of business continuity is sensed and averted and the costs to monitor your facility are dramatically reduced. The intelligent sensors can also protect your infrastructure.
