Mumbai, India –Vertiv has announced the availability of Vertiv™ Geist™ Watchdog 15 environmental sensor solution, to enhance data center monitoring and management in India. The self-contained environmental monitor enhances the performance of critical IT infrastructure by remotely monitoring environmental conditions in data centers, server rooms, and network closet environments, in real-time.
The Geist™ Watchdog 15 monitor cost-effectively enables the monitoring of temperature, humidity, and dewpoint, with capacity to add 4 additional external plug-n-play sensors. The solution includes real-time sensor data, sensor data logging and graphing, and allows data center managers to receive alerts and notifications via email and email-to-SMS when environmental conditions exceed predefined thresholds. It is easy to install and configure with a standard web browser.
The system provides continuous visibility of a facility’s thermal state, with a robust and flexible alternative to hardwired sensors and systems.
