Intelligent Sensors
Studies conducted on enterprises and facilities segment ranging from information technology, telecom, data center, NOC, ATM, server farm, health care, pharmaceutical, cold storage, oil & gas and chemical industry to warehouse and manufacturing plant reveal that nearly 50% bore the brunt of at least one mission-critical equipment failure and business continuity downtime in each year of its operations.

The major causes of unplanned downtime and asset loss:

 60% environmental mishaps & power supply failures.
 40% human error & deliberate tampering.

Any day, all of a sudden, networks could go down because high temperature, humidity or other environmental factors can cause a network component to fail. It could even be because of a security lapse.

Constant monitoring of the environment, power supply and human activities is mission-critical to ensure that A/C or blowers do not fail, A/C don’t get turned off, water leaks doesn’t occur, power supply units don’t fail, alarms not heard problem does not escalate into a major damage, human error and deliberate tampering does not lead to loss of lives and infrastructural assets.

In a typical server farm scenario:

Network/system administrators in server farms that provide massive computing for Web site hosting, ISP and telecommunications, confirm sensors improve network security. Usually a typical server farm consists of arrays of rack mounted network servers, managed by a handful of network/system administrators.

The distributed nature of the today’s unmanned infrastructure, coupled with an industry wide shortage of skilled IT workers, leaves little time for IT staff to physically watch all the territory of the company's server farms. The time it takes to fix a network disaster after it happens, almost always equals the time a network is down. Instances of server farms facing sudden blackouts are a common woe. Automatic switch over to backup power system (uninterrupted power supply) followed by backup generator can keep the server farm up and running including the servers and air conditioners. Sometimes during the automatic switch over, equipment like the AC shut down due to compressor stall condition and fail to function in the alternate power supply mode.

Deploy AKCP intelligent sensors to ensure:

 Unpredictable catastrophe does not strike your infrastructure.
 Disruption of business continuity is sensed and averted.
 24X7X365 uptime of your facility.

Use AKCP intelligent sensors to protect your infrastructure:

 Remotely monitor the temperature, humidity, water, airflow and power supply    conditions through a simple web or SNMP based.
 Alert the systems/network administrator, when environmental conditions go out    of range to initiate damage control measures before casualty.
 Safeguard intellectual property of the enterprise in unmanned areas and after    work hours.
 Empower the systems/network administrator to multitask and eliminate the need    to be within the facility for monitoring and maintenance all the time.
