Data center parameter monitoring systems

• create floor plans with cabinet locations and sensor mapping;
• customize your own views with a set of necessary parameters;
• display sensor indications in the form of graphs in real time or from logs;
• send notifications via SMS, e-mail or SNMP-notifications;
• keep a log of events.

SMART BOX

Based on the SPX+ monitoring system, we offer a "smart box" solution that allows you to monitor all the necessary parameters of one or several cabinets.

• The "Thermal Map" module, consisting of 6 sensors, monitors temperature and humidity values and, with the help of a graphic map, helps to visually identify overheating points inside the cabinet. This allows troubleshooting of equipment cooling problems such as:

1. Obstructions inside the cabinet. Cables and organizers can obstruct airflow.
2. IT equipment ventilation fans malfunctioning. As fans age or fail, airflow through IT equipment will decrease.
3. Unclosed gaps between equipment. Unobstructed cold air flow will cause other areas to heat up.

• Installing additional sensors allows you to monitor all required parameters including temperature, humidity, smoke detection, water leakage, and airflow rate.
• The power control module monitors the power supply to the installed IT equipment. Additionally, with Astergo controlled PDUs it is possible to turn equipment on and off manually or by schedule.
• LCD display at the end of the corridor or on the front of the cabinet allows to monitor up to 8 customizable indicators from the SPX+ monitoring system.
• A notification column can be used to provide audible indication of critical situations.
• RFID locks can be used for user authorization and cabinet access control.

SPX+. Expansion architecture

SPX+ controllers support the connection of expansion modules: The BEB protocol is suitable for expansion over short distances. Several BEB modules can be connected in series, the maximum total length of the connection cable depends on the number of devices in the circuit:

• 4x BEB - max. total cable length 10 m;
• 3x BEB - max. total cable length 18 m;
• 2x BEB - max. total cable length 20 m;
• 1x BEB - max. total cable length 20 m.

All sensors support autodetection of the device type when connected to an SPX+ controller.
