Information technology professionals often try to do as much work remotely as is possible without having to work from their companies server room. Server areas have noisy hardware, low temperatures and are in general fairly unpleasant and distracting to work in. Being able to add extra layers of monitoring for network and server control can make an IT professionals job much easier and effective. Tripp-Lites new Envirosense, an Environmental Sensor, is just the right tool to make that happen.
This sensor monitors temperature and humidity while having inputs to also monitor and control security, alarm, and telecom devices. This is possible because the same SNMP software that monitors the uninterruptible power supply or monitored power distribution unit that Envirosense connects to, is also capable of relaying the information from the Envirosense and its connected modules.
Easily accessible through web browsers, administrators have a host of utilities at their disposal through Envirosense. Viewing of real time temperature and humidity information allows configurable actions and surveillance, such as setting up whether sensor contacts should be open or closed, or to send out auto alerts or auto action paths if alarms are tripped, or if emergencies like fires or flooding occur.
With this host of features, Envirosense is an excellent monitoring tool, especially for smaller facilities that may not be staffed at all hours. Having a passive system in place to keep a watchful eye on your networks physical infrastructure, that is able to respond to alarming conditions quickly, affords greater flexibility for IT personnel, and an added layer of comfort for management.
