Environmental Monitoring for Data Centres
AIMS (Advanced Integrated Monitoring System) is an environmental monitoring platform for monitoring computer rooms and data centres.
Computer room and data centre environmental threats can cause more damage than hardware or software problems. Redundant hardware such as parallel UPS, generators and other fault-tolerant systems can be rendered useless if your data centre overheats or floods. Don’t ignore environmental threats – remotely manage them with the Advanced Integrated Monitoring System.
The AIMS monitors critical environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity, liquid presence, motion and intrusion. When a sensor goes out of range of a configurable threshold, the system can notify you via email, LEDs, alarm beacon, web page, network management (SNMP), voice dialer and SMS messages.
- Detect critical rises or drops in temperature, and receive notifications when heating problems occur.
- Detect abnormal humidity conditions. You define the humidity levels that are appropriate for each sensor’s environment.
- Detect the presence of water whether it’s a flash flood or leaking cooling system, a data centre is just about the last place you want to see water.
- Detect unauthorised access through door contact and PIR sensors.
- Monitor “dry-contact” devices including UPS, air conditioning systems, generators, fire panels and alarm systems.
Use in data centres, co-location sites, web hosting facilities, telecom switching rooms, POP sites, server cabinets, or any area that needs to be monitored.
