Introduction Room Alert Signal Tower
Benets Of Using Room Alert Signal Tower
Know immediately when important or critical temperature changes and extremes occur within a
computer room, data center or other facility that could lead to expensive downtime, damaged equipment,
lost worker productivity or denied server access. Providing early warnings about situations that could
damage hardware, threaten uptime or block system access allows staff and management to take actions
that can avoid or minimize an events’ impact on servers, the network, users, recovery insurance and the
emergency IT budget.
Give the IT staff and management “peace of mind” by keeping them fully informed of critical
temperature changes regardless of where they are, the time of day or day of the week. Temperature
extremes place an enormous stress on computer hardware and are normally caused by failure of the main
air conditioning system or a loss of power. Extremes for even a short time can create major challenges for
the IT staff and their budget.
Room Alert Signal Tower provides dynamic, real-time temperature monitoring of the computer room,
data center or other facilities. Some customers use Room Alert Signal Tower to monitor hospital lab
refrigerators, incubators, or coolers. Restaurants use it to monitor their coolers, dining room and lounge
areas. We even have people who use Room Alert Signal Tower to monitor their personal wine cellars,
remote cabins in New England, and water pipes in homes during Winter months. Monitoring of digital
temperatures is possible at up to three (3) locations for each Room Alert Signal Tower box, two (2)
of these can be as far as 100 feet away from the Room Alert Signal Tower box. Monitoring of switch
sensors such as main / UPS power, ood / water, smoke / re, air ow, motion, intruder / entry, panic
buttons and more is possible at up to one (1) location for each Room Alert Signal Tower box and can be
as far as 100 feet away from the Room Alert Signal Tower box.
Notication to an unlimited number of individuals or groups, at unlimited temperature thresholds (too
high or too low), and by notication to each users’ device of choice when used with PageR Enterprise.
Notications can be sent by email to computers, mobile phones, pagers, PDAs, web pages and more.
Room Alert Signal Tower can log temperatures over the short or long term when used with PageR
Enterprise for temperature tracking or identication of critical times of the day where environment
conditions may change to consistently cause problems. This can be useful for justication of new air
conditioning equipment, modifying the data center layout or justifying changes like the location of
primary servers or the data center.
