Introduction to the Didactum and AKCP Monitoring Knowledge Base
The monitoring and protection of server rooms, technical areas, and critical company infrastructures is more important today than ever before. Failures, environmental influences, or unauthorized access can not only cause high costs but also significantly disrupt business operations. Modern monitoring solutions such as the systems from Didactum and AKCP enable seamless, proactive monitoring and control of sensitive areas – around the clock, anywhere in the world.
The Didactum monitoring systems are specially designed for professional use in IT rooms, data centers, industrial facilities, and other security-critical environments. They offer a comprehensive platform for monitoring temperature, humidity, airflow, smoke, water leaks, power supply, and many other parameters. With intelligent, IP-enabled sensors, not only can environmental data be captured, but also doors, windows, or air conditioning systems can be integrated into the monitoring concept. The systems are modular and can be flexibly adapted to the requirements of small technical rooms or large data centers. Thanks to open SNMP support and included plugins, Didactum devices can be integrated into almost any network management or building automation solution – from Nagios and Zabbix to PRTG or CheckMK.
A special feature of the Didactum monitoring systems is their independence from external software: Configuration, visualization, and alerting are carried out directly via the integrated, multilingual web interface. Alarm notifications can be sent by e-mail, SMS (via optional GSM/LTE modem), SNMP trap, or even by phone call. The devices have numerous sensor ports and expansion options, so that even growing infrastructures can be reliably monitored. The data logger function enables seamless recording and evaluation of all measured values, which can be exported as CSV or XML files if required.
AKCP is also one of the world's leading providers of monitoring and sensor solutions for server rooms, data centers, and industrial environments. AKCP systems are characterized by high compatibility, reliability, and a wide range of available sensors. Integration into existing IT and building management systems is easily possible thanks to SNMP and Modbus support.
