Overview
The EMX provides a rack management solution that combines the
capabilities of asset management, environmental monitoring, image
surveillance, event notifications and support for Schroff
®
heat
exchangers.
Asset management:
You can remotely track the location of IT equipment after tagging IT
devices electronically. This feature is especially useful when there
are hundreds of IT devices to administer.
The following items are required for setting up the asset
management system:

Raritan asset tags
: You tag an IT device by sticking an electronic
asset tag on it.

Raritan asset management sensors (asset sensors)
: Each asset
sensor transmits the tag and position information to the EMX.

An EMX device
: You can remotely locate each tagged IT device
through the EMX.
Environmental monitoring and/or system control:
After connecting Raritan environmental sensor packages to the EMX,
you can remotely monitor environmental conditions, such as
temperature or humidity in the data center, or control a system if
actuators are connected.
Image surveillance:
With a Logitech
®
webcam connected, a simple camera and video
surveillance system is established so that you can remotely view
real-time snapshots or videos of the data center.
Event notifications:
Event rules and actions that are triggered when an event occurs are
supported by the EMX.
