Our environmental footprint is of growing concern for many of us at home and within the work place. Of course, as individuals, we can play our part but we also look to the companies we partner with to also make a concerted effort.

The NetBotz intelligent edge architecture enables the integration of a number of monitoring devices with diverse protocols into a single management platform. Physical and environmental information can be integrated from virtually anywhere in the network, managed in a common format, and presented as actionable intelligence, providing a coordinated monitoring and response capability across an entire enterprise.
The result is a predictive, preventative monitoring solution that provides the advance warning necessary to prevent small issues from becoming big disasters, while increasing up-time, product life-cycle and resource efficiency.
