IT-Monitor
Surveillance and monitoring of computer rooms
Discovering in the morning that the servers in the computer room are not working is an experience that IT managers hope they never have to face!
The damage caused can be enormous and it can take a very long time to recover.
The main causes can be:
- Inverter (UPS) damaged
- Power outage and insufficient autonomy of the inverter
- Defect in the air conditioning of the computer room
- Tripping of the differential protection of the switchboard due to a ground fault in the lighting or disturbances on the network
- Tripping of thermal-magnetic circuit breakers due to overload or short circuit
- Temperature increase beyond the acceptable limit of an equipment in the room
- Server temperature alarm
It is not always possible to prevent these problems, but by being able to intervene quickly, it is possible to restore proper operating conditions and eliminate or limit some damage. Elexpert’s IT Monitor solution continuously measures and records the temperature and humidity of the room as well as the main electrical values of the main electrical panel. It also monitors the UPS operating status as well as its main parameters (operating mode, battery status, charge level, input and output voltages, etc.) and alarms (via Modbus / Jbus communication port).
With its 4 digital inputs (expandable to 20 inputs), it can monitor the status of the main equipment in the room (air conditioning, circuit breakers, differential relays, fire alarm, access control system, etc.) and time stamp them.
With its 4 digital outputs (expandable to 20 digital outputs), it can manage the air conditioning system (time management of the air conditioners, temperature control of the computer room, etc.), control actuators (activation / deactivation of
The solution is equipped with an Ethernet communication port that allows it to send alarms by e-mail when events occur or in case of emergencies. Moreover, with the GSM modem option, the system can send alarms in real time, by SMS messages.
Finally, the system integrates an embedded Web server, and offers the possibility to supervise all the monitored equipment and measured parameters in the form of animated supervision screens and to draw up reports with the recorded data (energy measurements, CBEMA-ITIC curve for monitoring electrical disturbances, operating times, etc.).
Advantages :
- Measurement, recording and monitoring of the temperature and humidity of the computer room, the operating status of the equipment, the UPS and the main electrical parameters of the installation,
- Automatic management of air conditioning and temperature control of the computer room
- Alarm feedback from the main equipment in the room
- Power quality monitoring according to the CBEMA-ITIC standard
- Monitoring of access to the computer room with time stamping, sending of alarms
- Local alarm: siren and/or indicator light (access to the station, high temperature, protection trip, or any other monitored parameter)
- Sending alarms by SMS: personalized alarms, on all monitored parameters.
- Sending messages by e-mail: personalized messages, on all monitored parameters.
- Supervision in the form of graphic screens via Intranet or Internet
- Report generation (load curve, electricity bill simulation, power quality evaluation according to CBEMA-ITIC, number and duration of accesses, etc.)
- Ethernet connection
- Extendable system: possibility to add other measuring devices or equipment communicating in Modbus TCP or Modbus RTU
- Integrates with existing BMS, SCADA, … solutions
