Keeping the racks and enclosures
in your data center safe and
secure should incorporate more
than the latest digital security
solutions. Physical security and
environmental monitoring are key
to protecting the resources in your
racks and enclosures.
APC environmental solutions
monitor conditions in each rack
such as temperature, humidity,
and airflow. The scalable solutions
easily expand to monitor large
numbers of racks, and can be
customized with the appropriate
sensors deployed in strategic
locations for optimal monitoring.
The advanced policy engine
which resides on each monitoring
appliance accommodates
multiple thresholds per sensor,
sophisticated alert mechanisms,
and built-in alert escalation,
enabling you to receive immediate
notification when issues occur.
APC physical security solutions
for racks include access control
and IP-based video surveillance
appliances. Access control
solutions manage entry to individual
racks, ensuring that only authorized
personnel reach important
equipment and resources. Apply a
strict access schedule to specific
doors on individual enclosures,
providing even greater security.
IP-based video surveillance
appliances allow you to know who-
did-what-when on a rack-by-rack
basis. Couple NetBotz camera
pods or third-party closed-circuit
TV cameras with advanced motion
detection capabilities to create a
comprehensive video monitoring
solution. Recorded video can be
centrally accessed, searched, and
tagged for quick retrieval with the
NetBotz centralized management
platform, allowing for a scalable
solution and easy administration for
your enterprise deployments.
Security & Environmental
Solutions for RACKS
As the IP environment expands
to touch all aspects of your
business, important systems
and resources are often kept in
sub-optimal rooms and closets
that are usually unmanned.
This combination of distributed
resources and unoccupied
spaces is an ideal situation for the
introduction of physical threats.
APC environmental solutions
monitor conditions such as
temperature, humidity, and water
leaks in closets and rooms. Rack-
and wall-mount environmental
monitoring appliances and
low-profile sensors are
easily installed for seamless
incorporation into your rooms.
Deploying door sensors allows
for notification when doors to
remote and unmanned locales
are opened.
In addition to monitoring the
environmental conditions
of rooms, physical security
solutions for rooms includes
video monitoring, which captures
a visual record each time a
person accesses a remote room.
The video monitoring solution is
fully customizable, allowing for
configuration of specific days
and times when motion detection
and alarming is enabled or
disabled. Monitoring appliances
include an advanced policy
engine that can be configured
to provide multiple types of
notifications when thresholds
are reached. The APC physical
security solution can easily scale
from a small number of rooms
to a large number of rooms
via an intelligent centralized
management platform.
