In fact, despite advances in technology, today’s IT systems and networks continue to be vulnerable to fires, floods, spikes and surges, plus there are less obvious hazards too like air conditioning failures and burst pipes – all of which can severely damage systems and cabling. And then there is human error, theft, and sabotage by disgruntled employees to contend with.
Benefits of Immediate Detection
NetBotz, offered by APC and implemented by NET100, delivers a robust monitoring solution designed to protect against these threats. Immediate detection can prevent outages or enable rapid response to solve problems before they become catastrophic, thereby minimizing IT downtime. Further, NetBotz recognizes faces and objects through comprehensive video monitoring in small and large rooms to help identify human threats and errors.
Monitoring solutions from NetBotz come in a variety of configurations to suit specific needs:
- Rackmount – for larger spaces such as data centers and server rooms where environmental monitoring is needed.
- Room Monitor – for smaller spaces such as network closets where routers, hubs and network appliances are located.
- Wall Mount – for locations where temperature, humidity, airflow, and dew point levels must stay within specific ranges to prevent damage to system electronics.
Management Platforms
NetBotz also offers a standalone management platform that increases visibility of server rooms and small data centers by tracking the health and status of all monitoring devices.
A separately available InfraStruXure Manager Appliance from APC is a browser-accessible, user-friendly tool that makes management of the entire physical infrastructure easy. It enables the quick assessment of your present situation and notifies the appropriate personnel should situations occur that threaten availability. Analysis features help you to plan for changes in availability, power, runtime or cooling requirements.
InfraStruXure Manager can also be integrated into your preferred management system to provide a unified view of complex IT infrastructures for simplified management.
