Simplifying security and monitoring for any size data centre

Minimize downtime and business risk

NetBotz 250‘s advanced feature set and modernized user experience offers native support for NetBotz connected wireless temperature and humidity sensors for rapid and flexible deployment, while supporting additional wired sensors such as spot fluid, vibration and smoke detection. These capabilities enable immediate detection of common environmental hazards, preventing outages and allowing for rapid response action to minimize downtime. NetBotz 250 is compatible with APC racks and StruxureWare™ Data Center Expert, seamlessly integrating into an existing install base for easy and efficient deployment, configuration and management to start protecting IT equipment within minutes.

Rack access control functionality is available in two handle kits, at 125 kHz and 13.56 MHz reader frequencies, and restricts rack access to only credentialed users. Configured alerts and outputs such as beacon alarms can be set up to notify IT staff in the event of a breach.

NetBotz integration with StruxureWare Data Center Expert enables efficiency and connectivity at every level of the data centre. It provides centralized monitoring and management of the physical infrastructure and connected, networked devices to reduce energy consumption, protect system uptime, and improve planning and operational performance.

“Safety, reliability and availability are the imperatives of critical infrastructure environments. Data centres are a strategic asset to organizations and uptime is paramount for ensuring business continuity. As such, we are continuing to see a shift away from reactive toward proactive monitoring to anticipate and stop threats before they happen,” said Arun Shenoy, Vice President IT Business, Schneider Electric, UK and Ireland.
