Insite - System monitoring, alarming and reporting
If the power were to fail in your operations systems, it could mean a disastrous loss of signal. Whilst redundant systems or generators can hold up for a while, software and intelligent power solutions can provide a much more in-depth tool.
InSite is a highly flexible, virtualised and configurable infrastructure management solution which can monitor the health and usage of facility and broadcast equipment. With real-time web-based dashboards, alarming via e-mail and detailed reporting, InSite connects to IP devices and constantly monitors their status using SNMP and Modbus. Users can define alarm parameters such as over-temperature alarms or other environmental requirements.
All data is stored in a database for historical reporting and trending information.
Features
- Granular and real time monitoring of your equipment.
- Detailed probes monitor specific information directly from your devices.
- Critical information is easily shared via dashboards showing a visual representation of your facilities and tailored to your own environment.
- Use alarms and logging to monitor realt-time issues and respond quickly, or to review historical data to make improvements.
- Features SNMP connectivity to power devices such as PDUs and generators, broadcast equipment such as router frame or switcher frame, or servers and environmental control for heating, airflow, usage and temperature sensors.
- Set thresholds to trigger alarms to be displayed on dashboards and sent via email to engineers.
- See historical data to show insights, trends and log alarms for errors as they happen.
Facility Performance
Gain oversight of your whole facility's cooling and power performance. Increase efficiency, reduce energy consumption and monitor the temperature of AC and server utilisation. Additionally, TSL's Intelligent PDUs are a platform that can provide power monitoring and temperature sensing for every device in a rack. The outcome of these insights can increase your equipment's longevity and create savings for your operations.
Dashboards – the interface to your facility
Fully customisable dashboards allow monitoring of your facilities geographically to see at a top level where there are issues and ‘nest’ dashboards to allow you to drill down further into a single territory.
Specific Rooms:
See in real-time what is happening within your facility: create graphic representations of equipment, e.g. server racks to monitor temperature, humidity, amount of current and KW hour usage over time.
To specific devices:
Review specific functions e.g. about the state of the inlets and outlets, and control individual outputs.
SKY NEWS ARABIA
Sky News Arabia needed a comprehensive power monitoring solution to identify any technical and environmental issues before they became serious.
- Providing a ‘window into each rack’ and enabling the remote surveying of critical infrastructure.
- Data monitored includes total power used in each unit, current by outlet, power factor measurement, voltage, temperature, and fuse status.
- Installed on a VMWare host, backed up by a cloud copy, and connected to the TSL power distribution units.
- The commissioning of the software was carried out remotely from the TSL's headquarters in the UK.
- Sky News engineers could get real-time information of power distrubtion units every minute throughout the day, 24/7.
- The solution speeds up fault finding, reducing the burden on operations and maximising facility up-time.
