AIMS 1u Environmental Monitor

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.

Features:

• Live view of a facility from anywhere, anytime
• Monitor and manage server room environmental and security conditions over IP
• Up to eight users can access the unit concurrently over the web interface
• 1U rack mounted chassis (with wall mount option)
• Dual redundant power supplies with dual input and integrated battery backup
• Support for up to 24 sensors, 16 analogue/digital and 8 digital
• Most sensors can be up to 300m distant from the AIMS
• Web browser configuration interface
• External sensors to monitor temperature, humidity, water, intrusion, voltage and power
• Built in internal temperature, humidity, battery and incoming power sensors
• Interfaces with UPS, air conditioning systems, generators, fire panels, security cameras, etc.
• Able to monitor (ping) up to 64 IP network devices
• Generates alerts when defined limits exceeded or devices are not responding
• Alerts available via LEDs, sounder, beacon, email, SNMP, syslog, voice dialer and GSM SMS modem
• Four output relays for control of external device upon alert or user command
• Up to four units can be cascaded (directly or by Ethernet) to increase the number of monitored sensors
• Comprehensive event and data logging options
