Monitoring and controlling a data center's critical assets is a key component of any preventative management strategy. With new functionality that leverages technologies such as IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) A protocol for monitoring server hardware for temperature, voltage, chassis intrusion, etc. Introduced in 1998 by Intel, HP, NEC and Dell, IPMI defines a standard set of messages for the characteristics of hardware , Intelligent Power Strips, Network Attached Storage, and Pod Sharing, NetBotz provides even greater visibility into the internal equipment conditions that threaten a network. E[acute accent]The result is a comprehensive snapshot (1) A saved copy of memory including the contents of all memory bytes, hardware registers and status indicators. It is periodically taken in order to restore the system in the event of failure. (2) A saved copy of a file before it is updated. of events occurring either inside a critical asset or within its environment as the events occur, providing the early warning needed to prevent small issues from becoming disasters. E[acute accent]About the new Premium Software Modules: E[acute accent]--Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) reports the internal conditions of third party servers into the NetBotz management system. IPMI is an open standard for server environmental monitoring and power control. E[acute accent]--Intelligent Power Strip Integration enables the NetBotz solution to monitor and manage various enhanced power monitoring and management capabilities on a variety of power distribution products from APC (1) (American Power Conversion Corporation, West Kingston, RI, www.apcc.com) The leading manufacturer of UPS systems and surge suppressors, founded in 1981 by Rodger Dowdell, Neil Rasmussen and Emanual Landsman, three electronic power engineers who had worked at MIT. , Raritan, Avocent, BayTech, and Server Technologies. Supported features include output control for individual outlets and enhanced monitoring of power-related information, such as aggregate current, aggregate voltage, current, watts, voltamps, and circuit breaker circuit breaker, electric device that, like a fuse, interrupts an electric current in a circuit when the current becomes too high. The advantage of a circuit breaker is that it can be reset after it has been tripped; a fuse must be replaced after it has been used status. E[acute accent]--Pod Sharing enables NetBotz appliances to share their sensors and cameras with NetBotz 500 appliances, enabling a single NetBotz 500 to act as a "host" appliance, serving as a management platform in small and medium sized businesses. E[acute accent]--Network Attached Storage (NAS (1) See network access server. (2) (Network Attached Storage) A specialized file server that connects to the network. A NAS device contains a slimmed-down operating system and a file system and processes only I/O requests by supporting the popular ) Support enables the NetBotz 500 to store historical monitoring information on storage devices already on the network, without additional investment. This feature also enables the customer to leverage existing operating procedures for data backup and recovery. E[acute accent]An additional Premium Software Module supports the importation of maps and room schematics into the management GUI (Graphical User Interface) A graphics-based user interface that incorporates movable windows, icons and a mouse. The ability to resize application windows and change style and size of fonts are the significant advantages of a GUI vs. a character-based interface. . By placing icons that represent sensors and cameras on the image, a user can quickly isolate the location of a threat.
