Preventing Data Centre Disaster:
Crucial to any successful business continuity strategy is the implementation
of an effective monitoring and alerting system. Air-conditioning failure,
water ingress, fire, power failures and physical security breaches are just
a few examples of the many potential problems that seriously threaten the
integrity of network hardware and data.
In situations where rooms are unmanned for any length of time, especially
at weekends and overnight, these problems can, if left unattended, result
in significant network downtime and cost.
interSeptor Pro provides an advanced, yet uncomplicated solution to Data
Centre room / rack monitoring and early-warning alarm notification.
Environmental conditions can be monitored and logged, alarm thresholds
configured, and automated early-warning alerts delivered to key IT personnel
via telephone voice messages, SMS, email, web browser and SNMP traps.
An Alarm Beacon/Sounder option is also available for on-site visual and
audible alerts if required.
Flexibility, Scaleability for Maximum Return on Investment
interSeptor Pro is available in 3 models, equipped with 8, 16 or 24
environmental ports. Each interSeptor Pro environmental port can monitor
a temperature/humidity probe, and from that probe a further 2 x alarm
sensors can be monitored. The design of the interSeptor Pro therefore
provides superb scaleability and flexibility, with the 24-port unit able
to monitor up to 24 x temperature/humidity
sensors and up to 48 alarm sensors.
Advanced Features to Meet Changing
Data Centre Requirements
In-keeping with other Jacarta products, interSeptor
Pro is simple to install, and remarkably easy to use.
The device can be monitored using a web browser,
Telnet or Network Management System using SNMP.
interSeptor Pro’s powerful feature set also
allows for control of rack doors and other
on-site facilities remotely and via an optional
USB keypad.
Automatic switching/control of associated
local devices during crisis conditions is also
possible, as is extensive logging of data
centre conditions for pro-active analysis
and fault-finding.
interSeptor Pro uses Cat5 cable to connect
between it’s RJ45 environmental ports and
temperature/humidity probes. This makes it
extremely easy to locate all sensors where
needed and re-locate if necessary as required.
Configuration
IP configuration can initially carried out via the front panel LCD using
the menu buttons. Full configuration of temperature and humidity high/low
threshold settings, polling and logging options, alerting options, etc. can
then be carried out quickly and easily via a web browser.
Monitoring
Monitoring of the interSeptor Pro can be carried out over the internet
using a web browser or via a Network Management System using SNMP.
Alerts
Email and SNMP alerts can be triggered to provide
early warning of environmental alarm conditions. In
addition, Voice alerts to mobile/landline, and SMS
alerts can be activated in conjunction with the Jacarta
automated Alert Centre facility. Alert Centre can
provide alarm notification to up to 6 personnel in an
escalation sequence to ensure alerts can be managed
efficiently. Voice and SMS alerts are provided freeof-
charge in the UK for one year, with a small annual
subscription payable thereafter.
Logging
interSeptor Pro has extensive on-board logging
capabilities to ensure alarm conditions can be
successfully tracked, early identification of potential
problems carried out, and trend analysis conducted
as required. Log files can be delivered to key
personnel daily in .csv format or downloaded as
required.
Graphing
interSeptor Pro’s on-board Java graphing feature
enables log files to be analysed instantly via a web
browser for trend analysis and problem solving.
Installation
interSeptor Pro has been designed for ease of
installation and use. Multiple temperature/humidity
sensors are provided out-of-the-box to ensure
individual rack and room monitoring can begin
immediately. Customers can choose to implement
their own Cat5 (straight-through) cabling between the
sensors and the interSeptor Pro RJ45 ports, or
alternatively purchase one of the optional Sensor
Cabling Packs.
interSeptor Pro Sensors
Jacarta Voltage Sensor
The Jacarta interSeptor Pro voltage sensor can be used to monitor a spare power outlet for outages
and interruptions. As soon as the power to the outlet is lost the interSeptor will provide an alarm.
This sensor is provided with either a 4m or 18m interface cable
Jacarta Smoke Detector
The Jacarta interSeptor Pro smoke detector is a mains powered, ionisation based smoke detection
unit that can be positioned to monitor for early signs of fire, providing both an interSeptor alarm and
an audible alarm upon detection. This sensor is provided with either a 4m or 18m interface cable.
Jacarta Security Sensor
The Jacarta interSeptor Pro security sensor is a magnetic reed switch that can be used to detect
the opening of doors, racks, windows and cupboards. This sensor is provided with either 4 or 18m
of interface cable.
Jacarta Water Detector
The Jacarta interSeptor Pro water detector uses an advanced leak detection cable to sense the
presence of water along its length. The water detector can be supplied with either 3 or 18m of
Sensor cable and 4m of interface cable.
Jacarta Temperature & Humidity Sensor
Each interSeptor Pro is supplied with the required number of temperature/humidity sensors for the
version purchased ie. 8, 16, 24. Two optional Go-Probe alarm sensors can also be connected to
each temperature/humidity probe from the range of sensors detailed below. High/low warning and
critical alarm thresholds can easily be configured via the interSeptor Pro’s web browser interface.
