Newport, RI - AVTECH Software (AVTECH) introduces Room Alert 26WO, a hardware/software solution for easy remote monitoring of the critical environment conditions in the computer room, data center, rack cabinet or other facility. The physical conditions where valuable equipment operates will cause serious problems if they exceed certain threshold parameters for temperature, humidity, power, flood, smoke, room entry, heat index and more. Room Alert 26WO monitors these conditions and more to immediately alert managers and staff, allowing for a quick response and automatic corrective action to avoid or minimize damage and downtime.
In the data center, IT environment monitoring has never been more important than it is today. Computer and network equipment is drawing more power per square foot than ever before, generating extreme heat. Because the average data center temperature will rise from the standard 68° Fahrenheit to over 85° Fahrenheit in about 8.6 minutes when a problem arises (i.e. power outage or aircon failure) the staff in charge must be alerted and take immediate action. With the critical shut down threshold for IT equipment universally agreed to be at 85° Fahrenheit, a better response would be to use the automatic server shut down capabilities included with Room Alert 26WO to eliminate risk by elegantly shutting down the most expensive and critical hardware. Temperatures can be monitored in real-time from -67 to 257° Fahrenheit or -55 to 125° Celsius, with an accuracy of + / - 0.5° C. The Room Alert 26WO has built-in sensors for temperature, humidity, power and flood and also includes a built-in UPS to get the alerts out when a catastrophic power failure occurs. It allows connection of digital and switch based sensors through 26 built-in sensor ports and contact sets.
Room Alert 26WO is a 1U 19" rack mount unit that fits into a standard rack cabinet. It includes mounting screws and has wings that turn to allow easy wall, under-cabinet or table-top mounting. It connects to the network via Ethernet and includes a 10' Ethernet cable. The Room Alert 26WO has six standard RJ-11 ports on the front of the unit for connection of AVTECH Digital Temperature/Humidity, Digital Temperature and/or Digital Power Sensors. Digital sensors connect via RJ-11 (phone) cable and can be located up to approximately 100' away. On the back of Room Alert 26WO there are 16 switch sensor channels for connection of external sensors like power, flood, smoke, motion, air flow, room entry, sound, light, panic buttons and others. Users can also connect to non-voltage (dry) contacts on other devices like air conditioners, refrigerators, freezers, alarm systems, generators, pumps and more. These switch sensors and devices can be located up to approximately 900' away and connect via standard twisted pair wiring.
Room Alert 26WO allows users to monitor multiple environments using their favorite web browser via Room Alert's built-in web server. That's right... No PC Is Required! However, users can also use their favorite monitoring software, like AVTECH's PageR Enterprise (TM), to monitor unlimited Room Alert units network-wide via SNMP. This will significantly extend the alerting methods, add automatic corrective actions and enable network-wide monitoring from a central location. PageR allows unlimited alerting at multiple thresholds for rising and/or falling temperature and humidity levels. This allows early warnings, notification to different people at different thresholds and for different sensors, as well as actions to be implemented at critical thresholds. Alerts can go to individuals or groups and different people or devices can be notified at different times or days of the week. Alerts can be sent to mobile phones, pagers, PDAs, email, computers, web pages and more. Alert messages can be fully customized and incorporate 'Keywords' for real-time values, date, time and other 'live' information. Room Alert 26WO can easily be monitored via its built-in web server, PageR Enterprise, SNMP monitoring software or any combination of these.
The Room Alert 26WO package includes the Room Alert 26WO Rack Unit (1U 19"), 1 built-in Digital Temperature sensor, 1 built-in Digital Humidity sensor, 1 built-in Main Power sensor, 1 built-in Flood sensor (just add Flood cable), 1 external Digital Temperature sensor, 1 external Room Entry sensor, 6 external Digital Sensor Ports (RJ-11), 16 Switch Sensor Channels, built-in Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS), Ethernet Connection (RJ-45), Expansion Port (RJ-45), 10' Ethernet cable, 5V Power Adapter (110/240V, RoHS), built-in Web Server, built-in Alert Notifications, SNMP Trap & Query enabled, bundled PageR 20 Object Enterprise license, CD installation & resource media, printed User's Guides & Reference Manuals, 12 months of Maintenance Support & Update Service and our '30-Day Satisfaction Guarantee'.
