The NetGuardian AAR
Could you estimate how much money your company has invested in your IT server room or data
center? How much is your network uptime worth to you? These questions might be difficult to answer,
but monitoring your valuable IT equipment certainly doesn’t have to be.
You need a compact, simple, and reliable device to monitor basic environmental conditions (like
temperature, humidity, smoke...) around your valuable equipment. Without this basic visibility, it’s just a
matter of time before your investment in your server room is seriously damaged.
· Up to 48 Discrete Alarm Inputs (Build option)
·
1 D-Wire sensor input jack (Build option), supporting up to 16 sensors (sold separately)
· Up to 48 Control Relay Outputs (Build option)
· Fast, integrated web server
·
32 ping targets to monitor other devices on the network
· SNMP Alarms
Meet the NetGuardian AAR
This small device keeps tabs on all the environmental levels that affect your servers, phone closets,
data centers, and other equipment locations. The 48 alarms on the back panel are used to monitor dry
contacts, such as motion sensors, UPS, smoke detectors, flood sensors, AC and room entry.
What’s the current room temperature? When was the last time someone entered the room? Get all of
this information - right from your network PC.
Don’t wait until the day your AC unit fails and your server closet overheats to start protecting your
gear. This small, 1RU device alerts you of changing conditions 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, either to
your SNMP manager or via Email. The NetGuardian AAR is the cost-effective way to stay proactive in
your monitoring.
