Monitoring Is Designed To Protect Against The Threats You Can’t See

Without Proper Support

Vital Processes Just Cannot

Function

Critical systems are the lifeblood of your operations. If something should happen to them,you are simply out of business. You need to monitor and control your entire facility protection infrastructure to ensure maximum availability and continuous productivity. Vital computing, communications and industrial process control facilities all depend on power protection and mission-critical air control systems to maintain their operations.

If a problem develops in any one of these support systems — the performance of the entire facility is at risk. These systems may be located close by…or on the other side of the world. No matter where they are located, problems can and will develop. The difference is whether or not you will be able to react to these problems before they become disasters.

The Reasons For Monitoring Are Many

Expose Unknown Threats — Leaking water, developing equipment problems and other undetected conditions can shut down critical systems without any warning.

Enable Proactive Management — A developing problem that goes unreported could signal trouble ahead for a vital piece of computer support equipment. Knowing the up-to-the minute condition of these systems allows preventive measures to be taken in the most efficient and effective manner.

Reduce Expenses — Electronic monitoring give you the ability to detect and resolve problems for a wide range of products from a central location and notify support staff anywhere in the world. It also requires less manpower, reduces downtime and provides detailed information for easier troubleshooting.

Keep Equipment Operating — The ability to eliminate previously unseen problems by graphically viewing the operation of support systems in real-time helps prevent downtime and promotes productivity.

Solve The Right Problem — Unrecorded data involving an operational event might

cause you to miss the real trouble spot. Having access to the right information provides

the ability to properly diagnose the source of the problem in the first place and helps to prevent repeat occurrences.

Undetected. Unrecorded. Unreported.Uncorrected.

Can You Really Afford Not To Know?

Monitoring is the key to knowing what is happening within your facility, not knowing may cost more than you can pay. Loss of productivity due to system downtime and the associated costs are a direct result of not reacting to problems within your operations.

Because of the major investment you’ve made in critical facilities and the systems to support and protect their operation—it just doesn’t make sense not to monitor your investment.

If you don’t know what is happening inside your critical facilities, the end result will be loss of availability.

Liebert Monitoring

Solutions Fall Into

These Seven Categories:

You Have ToKnow There Is A Problem

Before You Can Correct TheProblem

Automated Shutdown Software	1

Protects your data from being lost or corrupted during extended power outages by initiating an orderly shutdown of your computer systems.

Local And Remote Monitoring	2

Provides basic monitoring and control for single or small groups of equipment either at the equipment location or to a remote site.

Battery Monitoring	3

Detects battery problems by continuously monitoring all critical battery parameters such as cell resistance, inter-cell and inter-tier connections, cell voltage, overall string voltage, current and temperature.

Leak Detection	4
Alerts facility personnel to the
presence of leaking fluids before
serious damage results.
IT Monitoring	5
Provides cost-efficient, centralized
monitoring of various power and
environmental units utilizing an
existing network infrastructure.
Advanced Monitoring	6
Offers comprehensive, centralized
monitoring, control, data analysis
and reporting for a full range of
computer support systems.
Third Party Monitoring	7
Connectivity

The use of open protocols allows you to interface Liebert units and monitoring systems with other types and brands of control equipment including BMS, NMS, SCADA and fire alarm systems.

There are any number of points within a critical facility where an unseen small problem can develop—and lead to much larger and costlier disasters. These examples show the types of occurrences that can develop—and what can happen if they are not responded to in a timely manner.

Enclosure Systems

Racks and cabinets are a great way to consolidate and protect equipment. But by nature of a cabinet, problems developed inside can be concealed.

1 2 5 7

Critical Mechanical Systems

The good news is that you had a redundant pump so that when your primary pump failed your cooling system stayed on-line. The bad news is that you are down to one pump and you never know it.

2 5 6 7

Automatic Transfer Switches

You have a utility power outage. Your UPS is supplying battery power to your computer equipment and your back-up generator just came on-line. Life is good,

right? Wrong! If the ATS does not transfer the load to generator power, then your network is still going to go down when you run out of battery power. Too little knowledge can be a dangerous thing.

2 6 7

UPS Systems

Your UPS has an internal fault and has been on bypass since Sunday. No one knows about it now— but they will if you lose utility power.

1 2 5 6 7

Battery System

You have a weak cell in your battery string. Too bad you won’t find out about it until it fails five minutes into the next power outage.

2 3 6 7

6

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.

2 5 6 7

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.

1 2 3 5 6 7

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.

2 5 6 7

Breaker and PowerDistribution

Several circuits are on the verge of overload. If one of these breakers

trips, servers will crash. Too bad you are not aware of the situation.

2 5 6 7

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.

2 4 6 7

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.

2 5 6 7

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.

2 6 7

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.

2 5 6 7

Surge Protection

Thank goodness you installed that surge protector. It has protected your site through many thunderstorms. Too bad it self-destructed protecting you from that last surge and you don’t know that

it needs to be replaced.

2 6 7

Intrusion Alarm

The entrance of unauthorized personnel into a remote 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.

2 6 7

Liebert Monitoring Solutions Provide The Right Information To The Right People.

How Deep Does Your Monitoring Need To Be?

Important facility operational and status information needs to be communicated by different means with varying levels of importance. This is why Liebert gives you so many ways to supervise your enterprise.

Critical Information Takes Many Forms

Monitoring can range from a simple remote panel that provides basic operating information from an air conditioning unit—all the way to full-scale monitoring and control of a critical facility including trending and data analysis.

Your requirements will vary according to the specificity of the information you need. You may require no more than a local readout of a unit’s operating status. Or you may need the ability to control its operation and receive alarms.

These information requirements may also go beyond basic monitoring and control. You may need the ability to analyze performance data in order to pinpoint trouble spots so that the same problems don’t happen again and again.

It may also be necessary to share information with an existing building management system (BMS) or other supervisory controls.

What Exactly Do You Need To Know?

You need enough information to guard against anything that can keep your critical support systems from being able to protect the operation of your computing and communications systems. Knowing where and what the problem is—that’s the first step to keeping it from becoming a disaster. No matter what you need to know about the operation of your facility and the essential systems inside, Liebert has a product that will enable you to do it.
