Fire detection in server room
The 19-inch server cabinets in the technology, computer and server rooms are crammed with technical equipment such as servers, storage, network switches or UPS systems. A smoldering fire in the server cabinet can be triggered by overheating, a technical defect or a simple electrical short circuit. If smoke and fire are not discovered and reported in time, this could have catastrophic consequences for the affected company / agency. Especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) often have no spare server room, so that a fire within the IT infrastructure can even endanger the existence.
Timely detection of smoke and fire in the server room
The company Didactum is a manufacturer of fully SNMP enabled remote monitoring and alert systems for the early detection and reporting of hazards and risks in mission-critical infrastructure such as server room, data center, production or logistics. Each remote monitoring and alert system is Ethernet-based and works stand-alone. In addition, these monitors can be seamlessly integrated into SNMP-compliant building and network monitoring software. By relay switching, critical situations and threats can also be reported to the building alarm system.
IP-capable smoke detection sensors
Risks and hazards are detected by the IP-driven remote monitoring and alarm systems using intelligent sensors. Manufacturer Didactum offers suitable smoke detection sensors for the detection of smoke and fire in important infrastructure. Ideally, these sensors should also be installed directly in the 19-inch server cabinet in order to get the notification of smoke and fire as early as possible. The installation of the smoke sensors is simple and done within a few minutes. Using a RJ11 patch cable, the smoke sensor is easily connected to the remote monitoring and alert unit and automatically detected. Several smoke sensors can also be connected in series, so that a large number of network and server cabinets can be monitored. In addition to optical smoke detectors, Didactum also offers multi-sensor detectors and thermal fire detectors for the timely detection of smoke and fire.
Reliable reporting of smoke and fire
As soon as smoke or fire is detected, employees are alerted by the remote monitoring and alert system via e-mail, SMS (via GSM / LTE modem or Web To SMS Server) and also via an optional alarm siren (including flash light function). In addition, notifications and alerts can also be transmitted via LAN / WAN via SNMP trap to DCIM software, building or network management systems (e.g. Nagios, OpenNMS, Zabbix, etc.). Protect around-the-clock unmanned locations or even remote branches / offices. An alarm map integrated into the remote monitoring and alert system can even display the exact origin of the alarm.
Proven remote monitoring and alert systems for every size of company
No matter whether industry, administration, trade, banks or insurance companies: The remote monitoring and alert systems of the manufacturer Didactum can be used across all industries. Didactum offers budget-friendly solutions for every size of company. Based on the modular principle, the customer can select his customized remote monitoring solution.
