Maximizing Your Investment
Through Adaptive Monitoring

Obtaining the information needed to know about critical

support equipment for computer systems has never

been easier…or more cost-efficient.

What You Don’t Know
Can Hurt You

A small problem in a computer or
communications facility can quickly
escalate into a disaster. Knowing
what is happening with power
and cooling equipment can keep
that protective "envelope" at peak
operating efficiency, vital to
system reliability.

Only Liebert can offer full-scale
monitoring and control of these
critical support systems by
providing the ability to gather
operating information from each
piece of equipment and pull it
together in one central location.

Finding A Better Way To
Monitor The Evolving
Critical Space

Monitoring the critical space is
essential. The problem is, the
critical space has evolved and can
take on many shapes and sizes,
from the traditional centralized data
center, to the cutting-edge
distributed topologies of telecom,
wireless and retail operations.
Liebert's mission is to protect the

critical space, whether consolidated
in the data center or distributed
throughout the network — and
monitoring is an essential
component of any high-availability
solution.

Just as one model of UPS or air
conditioner cannot fulfill the
requirements of every application,
Liebert offers a suite of monitoring
products to meet the varying
requirements of the vast spectrum
of critical space applications.
From leak detection to discrete
monitoring, unattended orderly
computer shutdown to enterprise­wide monitoring, Liebert offers
hardware and software solutions
that fit.

This full-scale monitoring
capability allows for consolidation
of all components of critical space
infrastructure into an organized,
logical, high-availability system.
And because different people need
to know different information
about your support equipment,
Liebert will provide the tools to
determine what specific data should
go where.

Getting Critical Information
Into The Right Hands

Business runs on information.

That information, however, must be

managed and protected. Liebert

offers the tools to keep the people

on the front line — such as IT,

network, data center and facility

managers — informed as to the

status of their critical systems. By

utilizing a network infrastructure

approach to monitoring, Liebert

has the solutions that align a

customer's needs for real-time

knowledge and system flexibility

with critical system uptime and

capital allocation constraints.

This type of system can provide

the information you need to

manage your critical equipment,

giving you a variety of ways to

receive and manage this

data — through computers at

your site or even on the web via

standard browser software.

From the traditional centralized

data center to constantly evolving

distributed network topologies,

Liebert has the solutions that

provide just the right amount of

control, monitoring, and protection

for your critical space requirements.

The Importance Of Support
System Monitoring

The reliability of your computing
and communications systems is
a direct result of the reliability of the
power and environmental systems
that help maintain their proper
operation. That's why Liebert is so
firmly committed to providing
monitoring capability in our
products. No one knows more about
what it takes to collect and deliver
the vital information you need to
manage your critical support systems.

To protect your critical business systems, it is important that

we first understand how you and your customers utilize these

resources. Knowing how your network is used allows us to

design system protection that addresses your real world needs.

To maintain the high level of availability that users expect, your

monitoring system must be able to keep you up-to-date on

any changes in the condition of your network infrastructure.

Understanding The Needs
Of Your Business

Proper power protection and
environmental control is essential
for your network components:

■

Printer servers

■

Database servers

■

File servers

■

E-mail server s

■

Web ser vers

■

Router s

■

Hubs

Your Network Has Many Points That
Must Be Protected

Your customers have
expectations of the level
of system availability you
can provide.

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.

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.

Power Distribution

Several circuits are on the verge of
overload. If one of these breakers
trips, servers will crash.

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.

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.

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.

Surge Protection

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.

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.

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.

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.
