Benefits Of Using Room Alert 32W
Know immediately when important or critical temperature and humidity changes and extremes occur
within a computer room, data center or other facility, as well as power loss or other conditions that could
lead to expensive down time, damaged equipment, lost worker productivity or denied server access.
Provide early warnings, allowing staff and management to take actions that can avoid or minimize an
event’s impact on servers, the network, users, insurance, the IT budget and the entire organization.
Give the IT staff and management ‘peace of mind’ by keeping them fully informed of critical IT
environmental changes regardless of where they are, the time of day or day of the week. Temperature
extremes place an enormous stress on computer hardware and are normally caused by failure of the main
air conditioning system or a loss of power. Extremes for even a short time can create major problems.
Room Alert 32W provides dynamic, real-time temperature, humidity, power and room entry monitoring
of the computer room, data center or other facility. Monitoring of wireless connected sensors is possible at
locations up to 5,250 feet away (under perfect conditions) from the Room Alert 32W monitor. Monitoring
of wired switch sensors is possible up to 900 feet away the from Room Alert 32W, a WiSH or WiSPR hub.
Exact distance will vary.
Notification to an unlimited number of individuals or groups, at an unlimited number of temperature
(between -67° to 257° F or -55° to 125° C) and humidity (between 0% to 100% relative humidity)
thresholds (too high or too low), and by notification to each users’ device of choice, is possible when
Room Alert 32W is used with the bundled Device ManageR software.
Room Alert 32W can log sensor data when used with Device ManageR for historical tracking or for
identification of critical times where environment conditions have previously changed to cause problems.
This can be useful for justification of new air conditioning equipment, modification of the data center layout
or justifying changes like the location of primary servers or the data center itself.
Users interested in ‘security monitoring’ with network IP cameras should note that Device ManageR
allows monitoring of all Axis IP cameras located anywhere network-wide. There is no requirement
(limitation) to connect any camera directly to our hardware. Built-in motion sensors on Axis cameras
can trigger alerts and Device ManageR can email the image snapshot to various staff members. Device
ManageR can also email image snapshots from Axis cameras when other alerts have been detected such
as high temperature, flooding, motion, fire, room entry and more. Recipients can click on a link within
the Device ManageR alert (if configured) to view live real-time video through the Axis camera. The
combination is very powerful for security conscious organizations and just a sample of how Device
ManageR extends the value of any Room Alert.
