Server environment monitoring also known as: Remote Environmental Monitoring System, Monitoring Server Room, Data Center Monitoring, Computer Room, Network Cabinet, Temperature Sensor, Remote Power Reboot, Network Alarm Thermometer, Server Room Monitoring.
Environmental threats in a server room are far more damaging than hardware or software issues. If your server room overheats or floods, redundant hardware, backup tapes, UPS battery arrays, generators, and other fault tolerance measures can all fail.
Server environment monitoring products enable you to actively keep track of the problems in your shelf, server room, information centre or anywhere else you require to safeguard essential possessions. The problems kept an eye on consist of severe temperatures, humidity, power spikes and surges, water leaks, smoke and chemical materials. With appropriate environmental monitoring, you look out to any type of problem that might have a negative impact on your mission-critical tools. These datacenter remote monitoring can likewise notify you to prospective damage from human error, hacking or spying fingers.
Server environment monitoring is specially developed and researched for small data center, it is based on IP network technology, supports UPS monitoring and server environment monitoring detection (temperature, humidity, smoke, leakage, motion, door contact, gas, etc) in one host. SitemateII provides fast interface visiting and user settings via web browser, once an abnormal alarm happens, it will rapidly give alarm notifications with email, SMS, sound light, etc, for a real sense to guarantee 7*24 hours unattended data center.
Environmental monitoring products enable you to proactively monitor conditions in racks, server rooms, data centers, or anywhere else you need to protect critical assets. Conditions monitored include temperature extremes, humidity, power spikes and surges, water leaks, smoke, and chemical materials. With proper environmental monitoring, you will be alerted to any conditions that could adversely affect your mission-critical equipment. They can also alert you to potential damage caused by human error, hacking, or prying fingers.
Server room environmental monitoring systems consist of three main elements: a base unit or hub, probes or sensors, and network connectivity and integration. Hubs may contain one or more built-in sensors, as well as ports for connecting external probes. They also include an Ethernet port and have software for remote configuration and mapping. The software can also be used with existing network management software, such as SNMP systems.
Server room environmental monitoring devices display values measured by additional probes, such as temperature, humidity, airflow, dry contact status, door open/close, motion detectors and other sensors.
Measured values are regularly stored in internal memory or external storage media and displayed as graphs.
When a measured value exceeds a predefined threshold, it triggers an alarm: flashing LED on the front panel, audible alarm, SNMP trap, e-mail, SMS, etc. The environmental monitoring device can also activate external alarm systems, such as sirens or strobe lights.
Data center management needs to address more than just network issues. Infrastructure is the lifeblood of servers and network equipment. Air conditioning systems, UPS systems and backup generators need to operate at peak efficiency to ensure uninterrupted operation. When a $12 fan dies, the best software and technology in the world can't stop an entire infrastructure from collapsing. The remote monitoring system will.
The sitemateII consists of a main "host" unit and supports up to 31 expansion "node" devices. Each host and node has inputs from up to eight environmental sensors. The system also monitors any TCP/IP address device via ping and port availability. Each host or node can monitor up to 64 TCP/IP addresses on your network over an Ethernet connection.
If a server or service stops responding, the sitemateII immediately notifies the appropriate personnel using pre-programmed instructions. The TCP/IP alerting feature is ideal for monitoring routers, web servers, email servers, DNS servers, database servers, and gateways. This means you know when your website or email server is down before your clients or supervisors.
The system can send alert messages over the network via email or text message, phone line with real voice messages, or Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) traps. Using multiple channels allows alert messages to pass through even if the network is down. The system can even make traditional voice calls in the event of an alarm. You can customize the alert function to:
Contact different people based on the type of problem
Dial a different number or send a text message based on the time of day
Server room environmental monitoring can include the monitoring of temperature, humidity, fluids, leaks, smoke, fire and other environmental parameters to ensure maximum reliability while reducing cooling costs and enabling greener IT. such activities help protect mission-critical equipment from failure and prevent performance degradation, intermittent failures, overall equipment failure and data loss.
Server room temperature monitoring is an automated process that alerts IT administrators when server room temperatures rise above a certain level. Ensuring that server performance is not disrupted by high room temperatures is a critical task.
Most electronic components are designed to operate within a specific range of humidity. High humidity environments can cause disk drives to fail, leading to data loss and downtime, while low humidity environments increase the risk of electrostatic discharge (ESD), which can lead to immediate and catastrophic failure of electronic components.
Many server rooms are left unattended after hours or even during the day. Other employees may inadvertently damage the server room by opening the door. Installing motion detectors is a simple and affordable way for IT to stay informed and alerted of all activity in the server room.
Additional smoke detectors in the server room will ensure that IT personnel are notified as often as possible in the event of a fire. This allows those responsible to begin disaster recovery procedures as early as possible, thus minimizing overall downtime.
Closed circuit television cameras are a great way to provide security for server rooms. Not only do they provide video footage of specific events, such as door openings and motion detection, they can also act as a visual deterrent to criminals. Clear, sharp images can be sent to IT staff anywhere via email, FTP, MMS, or streamed directly to cell phones.
When things go wrong, you're the first to know. Minimize downtime by receiving alerts about conditions that cause damage to servers and other network equipment.
Server environment monitoring devices can help you reduce replacement equipment costs and reallocate your workforce more efficiently.
Built-in notification features such as email, SMS and SNMP traps enable employees to better manage their work.
Abnormal server temperature

Unauthorized access and break-in
With Server Environment Monitoring hubs and sensors, you can monitor a variety of environmental conditions, including temperature, humidity, airflow, smoke, security, and voltage. Installation is quick and easy. Connect hubs to your network, connect sensors, and you can remotely view the status of server rooms, data centers, and other facilities. Check for temperature, humidity and liquids; understand when server cabinet doors are open or closed and if the cabinet is overheating, and monitor assets and infrastructure from anywhere in the world.
Data Measurement and Reporting
Server Environment Monitoring displays values measured by connected sensors. Measurements are periodically stored in the hub's internal memory or external storage medium and displayed as a graph.
Alerts and Notifications
Users can define warning and critical alert states and notification actions, including SNMP traps, email, SMS, alerters, and more. When the measurement exceeds the threshold, it triggers an alarm condition.
Easy to set up and manage
The Server Environment Monitoring hub works out of the box. Plug the sensors into the hub's RJ-45 port, and they automatically configure and come online, ready to report any status changes.
Web-based management interface
The easy-to-use Java™-based Server Environment Monitoring enables you to access the AlertWerks hub over any IP network, even the Internet.
