Modern commercial facilities include communicatio
2、n centers and computer server rooms. Rooms that house server equipment are environmentally controlled clean rooms requiring planning that extends beyond just security and access control. Vista 32, 128, and 250 series control panels can notify the IT Staff of trouble in the server room before a serve

If the average rate of pay was $20.00 per hour, a single two-hour outage would cost the business $480.00. How many server failures will a business tolerate each year? The system can min

Server rooms must be air con

Leaving a door propped open can allow warm, moist air to enter the server room, causing immediate condensation on circuit
12、boards and components. The system can warn you when the humidity is high, so you can adjust humidity levels as needed. The system can also automatically adjust levels in humidity when connected to switch on dehumidifiers and other air conditioning appliances.Detect and report power failures: Power f

This helps the IT Staff to keep backup power sources in working condition.Watch out for leaks and floods: Air conditioning ducts can condense moisture that drips. Drip pans capture the w

The central monitoring station can contact the IT Staff immediately in the event of a network failure.L
16、og who enters: Because the server can contain sensitive data like employee and payroll records, keeping track of those who enter the server room is a must. The system can track when authorized users enter the server room. It can also notify the monitoring station in the event of forced entry into the server room.Why Honeywell is BetterHoneywells Server Room Supervision
