Re: Server Room Environment Monitor?

APC purchased a company called NetBotz a number of years ago. They have abs=
orbed the product line that allows you to put sensors and a camera in a sep=
arate device anywhere in your server room. The products are a bite expensiv=
e, but they are very reliable. I used a few when rolling out new rooms in b=
uildings when I worked for a university. They can be found here:

Hi Bernadette,

We use APC battery backup power and we have a temp/humidity sensor attached=
to it. It integrates with the power monitoring software. I am also sure =
they have software apps you can install on a server to report out the curre=
nt internal temp, etc. etc. However, I like the external and separate sens=
or.

Subject: Server Room Environment Monitor?

Hi All,

Last night we lost the air conditioning unit in our server room and were
lucky to have caught it early enough this morning to prevent any major
damage. While we've never had a temp sensor in the room before, we've
decided it's time to go that route and were wondering what others might
be using to monitor the temp/humidity/etc. in their server rooms?

I'd really like some kind of hardware sensor that can send automatic
emails/phone calls/etc. when a designated threshold has been crossed.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Barrett
