When Systems Are Critical...
Monitoring Is Not An Option
Power Conditioning Units
A grounding problem in your power
conditioning system causes small
voltage disturbances. You may not
even realize there is corrupt data or
damage to other systems until bigger
problems occur months later.
UNDETECTED
Power Distribution
Several circuits are on the verge of
overload. If one of these breakers
trips, servers will crash.
UNSEEN
Environmental
HVAC Systems
High head pressure, compressor
short cycling, dirty filters,
pump or fan failure — these
are just a few of the problems
that can cause mission-critical
air conditioning systems and
other HVAC equipment to go
down and temperatures to
go up. One more problem?
Not knowing that these
troubles are developing
in the first place.
If you don't know what is happening
inside your critical facilities, the result
is unavailability

Water Leaks
Your data cabling is lying in a
growing puddle of water under the
raised floor because of a plumbing
leak. It is just a matter of time before
that affects your operation. Who
knows how long it will take to track
down the cause of the problem.

DC Power Systems
An overvoltage
condition in an
essential DC power
system causes an
alarm to sound.
Problem is, no one is
there to hear it.
Intrusion Alarm
The entrance of unauthorized
personnel into a remote
UNREPORTED
shelter is a big problem.
The real problem is that
the person who needs to
know this is happening is
unaware and possibly isn't
in the same building –
or even the same state.
UPS Systems
Yesterday the UPS failed its automatic
battery self test. Today the UPS failed to
carry the load during a momentary power
interruption, halting a critical process. The
problem isn't the UPS or the weak battery.
The real problem is that you didn't know
that the UPS failed a self-diagnostic test.

Static Transfer
Switches
A transfer switch fails to
transfer when your primary
power feed goes down in
the middle of the night.
You won't know about it,
though, until tomorrow
morning when there are no
sales reports, no e-mails and
certainly no one conducting
normal business.

Thank goodness you
installed that surge
protector. It has protected
your site through many
thunderstorms. Unfortunately
it self-destructed protecting
you from that last surge and
you don't know that it needs to
be replaced.
Generator Operation
The good news is your
emergency generator came
on-line during a power
failure last night and kept
things running for several
hours. The bad news is that
the fuel tank is now almost
empty - and no one realizes
it, leaving you unprotected
for the next outage.
