“Our Data-Link units allow us time to fix the problem or shut equipment down before the threshold where damage is likely to occur. Not knowing of high temperatures in our equipment rooms is a big deal. To avoid the loss of telephone service, the system’s ability to notify us of alarms is crucial.”

Battery and Voltage Monitoring Modules Prevent Downtime

Overview

Today’s networks have evolved into business-critical services that organizations rely upon every day. However, unplanned remote site downtime due to power failure can severely impair network service. Without power protection, threats such as blackouts, disruptions and spikes can lead to latency, downtime and equipment damage. The result is that remote equipment sites go down, and customer service goes offline. Minutes of downtime can cost millions in losses. The business-critical operations of today’s networks are facing challenges that threaten to undermine the availability of the network that drive today’s business. These challenges are causing IT personnel to include power monitoring as a key component of their remote IT infrastructures.

Solution

Asentria offers a unique modular system that eliminates redundant hardware so users get the most customized, cost-effective solution for their sites, especially sites that require scalability or multiple monitoring points. With a single SNMP-Link Remote Site Manager, users can daisy chain up to 16 inexpensive EventSensor™ modules to create the right solution for their particular site. The SNMP-Link host unit monitors the EventSensor modules and transmits alarm messages via e-mail, modem, pager or SNMP trap to SNMP network management software or Asentria AlarmManager™ software.

Asentria EventSensor ES-8 Voltage Sensor Module when combined with the SNMP-Link™ Model SL61 host unit, provides a modem and/or network interface between a command center and remote sites.

Key Benefits

Asentria products allow you to monitor and alarm on analog voltages from +/- 75vdc or 0-5vdc.  A common use is to monitor the voltages on battery backup systems, but other devices also output analog voltage levels such as a radio signal strength output.  Asentria products support both onboard and external analog voltage sensors.

Facilities managers do not have to wait for a system failure to know that something is wrong at a site. Asentria EventSensor ES-8 module warns them before the facility is disrupted by a power problem.

• Alarms immediately notify you of a power failure when a backup UPS (or some other critical equipment) has failed.
• Asentria EventSensor modules warn you before a facility is severely disrupted by a power problem.
• Protect your local or remote servers, phone systems and critical data from power disruptions.

Employ multiple sensors to determine whether a power failure occurred in the power source, or in other equipment. You can quickly send the right technician to the site.

The Company

Asentria develops remote site monitoring and telemanagement solutions that enable providers of critical communications infrastructure to more efficiently and reliably run their networks.
