AIMS - Advanced Integrated Monitoring System
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.
