Room Alert Signal Tower Provides Visual Alerting In The Data Center
Newport, RI - AVTECH Software (AVTECH) has released the Room Alert Signal Tower and Room Alert Signal Tower w/Audio, which started shipping March 3rd. These new models are part of AVTECH's popular Room Alert hardware line for complete 'IT & Facilities Environment Monitoring'. The new Signal Towers offer a cost effective solution for real-time event alerting with signal lights, audio alarm, alerting and automatic corrective action. They also include a built-in digital temperature sensor and sensor ports that can accommodate temperature, humidity (optional), power, flood, smoke, motion, air flow, room entry, and more. These models are designed specifically to assist with monitoring IT and facilities environment concerns that threaten organizations of all types and sizes. They can be used individually or across the world because they plug directly into an Ethernet network for immediate use and monitoring from anywhere via the web.
Monitoring the environment where IT equipment or other valuable goods are stored has never been more important than it is today. Physical conditions cause serious problems if they exceed certain threshold parameters for temperature, humidity, power, flood, smoke and more. With new government regulations, the storage of food products, medicine, raw materials, packaged products, records and where people work must be monitored and controlled. Room Alert Signal Towers allow monitoring for these conditions and can immediately alert managers and staff when conditions change, allowing for an immediate response to avoid or minimize downtime, damage and financial loss. All sensor data can be logged in a secure and non-modifiable file for easy analysis, export or graphing.
Room Alert Signal Towers are installed quickly and easily, just plug one in and use it. Signal Tower lights turn on or off when alarms are detected (i.e. failed pings, high temperatures, water leakage, etc.) and are available in several color sets. The built-in web server allows instant monitoring from anywhere and alert notifications can be sent via email, email-to-SMS, SNMP and more to devices like computers, mobile phones, pagers and PDAs. Both Room Alert Signal Towers include the ability to ping up to 8 devices simultaneously on the network and alarm if they do not respond.
Room Alert Signal Towers integrate easily with any SNMP enabled device on the network. The visual lights and audio alarms can be turned on or off via SNMP Trap or SNMP Set commands. This allows the Room Alert Signal Towers to be mounted in any location on the network where visual alerting or sensor monitoring is desired. Room Alert Signal Towers are very popular for use in small phone or wiring closets, rack cabinets, computer rooms, factories, warehouses, schools, hospitals, retail and more.
Included with each Room Alert Signal Tower model is AVTECH's PageR Enterprise software for network-wide monitoring. This bundled software significantly extends the alerting capabilities, adds automatic corrective actions and enables network-wide monitoring from a central location. For use with Signal Towers, 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 & more. Alert messages can be fully customized and incorporate 'Keywords' for real-time values, date, time, and other 'live' information. Any Room Alert model can easily be monitored via it's built-in web server, PageR Enterprise, SNMP monitoring software or any combination of these.
The Room Alert Signal Tower is priced at $395 while the Room Alert Signal Tower w/Audio is available for $495. As new products however, AVTECH is introducing them at a special 15% discount through May 31st. Whether you order online or direct from AVTECH by phone, you can purchase the Room Alert Signal Tower for just $336 or the Room Alert Signal Tower w/Audio for just $421.
