RiT CenterMind G+ Solution

high efficiency of environment conditions and lower power consumption

RiT CenterMind G+ solution is part of the RiT CenterMind solution for comprehensive data center management. With CenterMind G+, you can “green” your organization, with high efficiency of environment conditions and lower power consumption, saving substantial energy expenses. Of course, all this comes on top of savings due to the disaster prevention capabilities gained by implementing the solution.   

The RiT CenterMind G+ environment monitoring solution gives you real-time visibility into the state of your computer room or data center environment, 24/7. No matter where you are, or where your facility is located, you can be instantly and automatically alerted if conditions deviate from defined parameters – enabling automated and immediate actions to resolve issues as they arise.

CenterMind G+ hardware and software are built to provide maximum flexibility according to your monitoring needs – from monitoring one cabinet in a remote branch, or a medium-sized communication room, to a comprehensive solution that provides recommendations during the process of provisioning data center equipment.

With CenterMind G+ software and hardware, you can proactively monitor environmental conditions to avoid and resolve issues and optimize power usage for greener, most cost-effective operations.

Paint your data center green, save costs

Correct environment monitoring of power-hungry data centers is vital for containing energy costs and carbon footprint.

Even small variations in temperature, humidity and air pressure can significantly impact energy efficiency. By using RiT CenterMind G+ to monitor these conditions in your data center, you can act proactively to optimize energy usage and respond quickly whenever deviations occur. Moreover, analyzing the environment behavior of your facility across a 24-hour period will show you the different cooling levels needed at different times of the day. The result: you can save unnecessary energy costs and improve the environmental performance of your organization.

Disaster prevention starts with environment monitoring
 

Studies have shown that, 75% of business sites go down for at least half a day, up to three times a year, because of computer room environment problems. Likewise, 61% of data centers blame environment issues for at least one incident of downtime annually, each lasting between half a day and three days; and 23% reported at least five such incidents in the same period.

Power supply failure and air conditioning failure are the most common environment problems encountered in the computer room. The impact of unreliable power supply is obvious; and the impact of air conditioning failure can also be huge because servers and network equipment are designed to operate only within specific environmental parameters. For example, 50% of server reliability can be lost once a computer room becomes just 7.7°C (18°F) hotter than the norm – which can happen in less nine minutes of a cooling system shutdown.

Clearly, the cost of not knowing about a dramatic change in the environmental conditions of your data center or any other mission-critical facility can be catastrophic. The ability to recognize such deviations in a timely way is vital to your ability to avert systems failures and damage.

Protect your operations. From anywhere.

RiT CenterMind G+ is the ultimate real-time proactive defense solution that enables you to see more, know more and do more to protect your mission-critical sites and facilities. Door sensors for your communication rooms and cabinets will provide an instant indication on whether an unauthorized person is in a place s/he shouldn’t be doing something s/he shouldn’t. Adding an IP camera will generate a snapshot of this person, helping with identification of the intruder.

One stop shop – full flexibility

CenterMind G+ is modular by design. It offers a choice of hardware configurations, sensors and software options to fit your facilities and your business:

• Each controller can be run as a standalone system working with dedicated sensors to monitor a single cabinet
  
• Several controllers can work together with RiT CenterMind G+ Lite Software to monitor several racks or cabinets, with management via an easy web-based interface
  
• Users of the full RiT CenterMind solution can utilize their familiar interface to manage their environment monitoring as one of the elements in their comprehensive data center infrastructure management (DCIM) solution
