The NetBotz Rack Monitor 250A provides integrated sensing, access control, and advanced alerting capabilities for IT environments of all sizes, from a single rack to large data centers. The NetBotz 250A provides an active monitoring solution to protect against environmental threats and unauthorized access risks that can lead to IT infrastructure downtime in both edge compute and data center environments. With its integrated array of sensors and access control pods, the NetBotz 250A protects the environment through flexible alerting based on user-definable thresholds. Computing is moving ever closer to where it is used. This increases the risk that water damage, high temperatures and humidity, fire, or other conditions will bring business-critical applications to a halt. Intentional or malicious access events not only threaten computer availability but also leave businesses vulnerable to costly compliance violations. The NetBotz 250A provides integrated and tagged rack access control to mitigate these risks through a wide range of compatible sensors and configured alarms.
