Managing The Adaptive Enterprise
Voltage disturbances were reflected in
the trend graphing of the OpenComms
EM with Managed Power. After further
analysis, facility engineer discovered
and corrected the grounding problem.
CORRECTED
IT recently installed Liebert MP Advanced
Power Strips inside their rows of rack
enclosures. Now, with the control of each
receptacle, overloading of circuits is
prevented. OpenComms Nform users can
easily control access to which outlet circuits
are enabled or disabled.
DETECTED
High temperature alarm
was reported through the
OpenComms Web Interface
to the OpenComms Nform
system. With advance
notification, the standby
unit was remotely activated,
maintaining the desired
operating temperature
setpoint within the
data center.
Technology at work
With installed leak detection
products, a water-detected
summary alarm was transmitted
to OpenComms Nform by the
OpenComms EM. The facility
engineer was notified and
corrected the faulty plumbing.

engineer was dispatched
through OpenComms
Nform notifications,
allowing the engineer
to quickly replace the
faulty rectifier before
the critical overvoltage
threshold was reached.
Security personnel were
alerted when the OpenComms
EM reported a door ajar
alarm to the OpenComms
Nform system.
NOTIFIED
OpenComms Nform received a
failed battery test and forwarded
the conditions to the Liebert Global
Services Response Center, dispatching
the service technician for a battery
replacement site visit.

Before the primary power
source failed, facility
engineer received a
"secondary source not
available" alert via his
SMTP supported cell
phone. The heads-up was
given and the problem
was resolved before the
system went critical.

Since OpenComms Nform
was monitoring the
TVSS summary alarm,
maintenance was notified
to incorporate testing
of the surge suppression
device due to its recent
heavy usage.
Recent runtime on the
generator has consumed
most of the fuel. Since the
low fuel summary alarm
was being monitored by
the OpenComms EM, an
event was triggered in
OpenComms Nform,
sending a request for
refueling to the local
fuel supplier.
