Kell Systems Launches EnviroBot a Complete Infrastructure Management and Monitoring Solution for its Portable Server Environments

The all-in-one EnviroBot combines monitoring and real-time alerts for all aspects of the hardware environment in a single 1U rack-mount device. EnviroBot eliminates the need for separate environmental monitoring devices, network-enabled PDUs and UPS network cards.

From a single, secure web-based interface, EnviroBot provides full remote power management functions, which allow individual hardware devices to be powered on and off by remote command.

EnviroBot also monitors critical environmental elements of the PSE installation in real time, sending an immediate email alert to the administrator if an “abnormal” environmental event is detected – for example, if a UPS switches to battery power or if the server enclosure is broken into. Environmental conditions monitored include server enclosure humidity levels, internal and external enclosure temperatures, cooling fan system status, UPS status and intruder detection.

All intelligence is contained in EnviroBot. No software is needed at the management end, unless the administrator wishes to install third party software to convert alarm messages to SMS or pager formats.
