Proactively Monitor and Manage Server Rooms in an Active Landscape

Proactively Monitor and Manage Server Rooms in an Active Landscape

Consolidation, power over Ethernet, virtualisation-these current IT trends are making traditional server rooms increasingly complex, remotely managed, and mission critical, all with the goal of increased efficiency in mind.

Meanwhile, your customers' day-to-day job and overall goals remain the same. The question is, how are they supposed to decrease downtime, increase availability, enable these new technologies, and do it all without any drastic changes to the IT budget?

The answer quickly becomes clear with a tailor-made server room setup from APC® by Schneider Electric. Our modular, easy-to-install solutions allow customers to implement an appropriate IT environment that meets their current and future needs, without breaking the bank in the process.

That means a more efficient way to assess their power needs, and guarantee availability, at any given time. That means a more efficient way to monitor physical threats. And, most of all, that means making sense of a high-density landscape that's getting more complicated by the day. After all, if you're upgrading servers with the latest technology, why use the same old infrastructure to protect them?

To meet these challenges, the network needs to be proactive in facing the most common challenges posed to the mission-critical server room:

Monitor the Physical Layer

Know if heat, dust, humidity, or other hazards are building up in any portion of the server room, and keep a visual record of personnel as they move between racks.

Maintain Availability

Identify power problems before they occur, using state-of-the-art software that dovetails with the physical infrastructure to predict problem areas.

Manage the Environment

Get instant notification of temperature fluctuations from an energy-efficient, row-based cooling solution that targets the heat at the rack level.

Protect the Power

With more than 10 million installed Smart-UPS® units, businesses count on APC for server power protection-and so can your customers.

Information technology is at the heart of any business. APC® by Schneider Electric provides the power to monitor and manage the server room with ease and confidence.
