The Need for Monitoring of Critical IT Assets and Spaces
Business computers are now expected to be up 100% of the time; failures or outages must be avoided. Affordable tools to keep networks, remote sites, and data centres up have a key place in the IT manager's landscape.
Many physical factors cause equipment failure: heat, humidity, dust, inept installers, intrusion, human error, and random component faults all add up to a continual task of heading off the next outage. A monitoring solution should be the IT manager's first line of defence against equipment failure- a pro active, low-cost, indispensable device to be installed in every server room, wiring closet, and computer cabinet. Early notification-that heat is rising, that an audio alarm has sounded, or that there is water on the server room floor-makes all the difference in avoiding downtime.
Water and humidity can both cause serious damage to your equipment. If your equipment is on a raised floor and a pipe bursts or a sprinkler head leaks, your equipment is in immediate danger. Plus, if the humidity gets too high you get condensation, which can short out your gear. If the humidity gets too low, static electricity can short out your gear.
An audible alarm is worthless if no one is there to hear it. Many simple monitoring devices, such as smoke alarms and uninterruptible power sources, have an audible alarm that indicates that a dangerous or potentially harmful situation is occurring. But what if no one is there to hear the alarm? What good is an alarm that no one hears?
Let SCS with there monitoring solution be your eyes and ears of IT. SCS provide early warning of conditions that can lead to equipment failure, giving you the valuable lead-time you need to save your network from costly downtime.
