The IMS series of Sensapahone products allows you to watch over many of the potential threats in your computer room. They combine environmental monitoring, physical security, network monitoring and more into one
easy to manage system. The IMS System is always storing history and trending information, and will notify the
appropriate personnel when conditions exceed acceptable limits. There are two different IMS solutions, the
IMS-4000 and the IMS-1000. Both systems have the following features ...
Environment Monitoring:
• Temperature
• Power Failure
Servers don’t operate properly unless they are in a proper environment. High temperatures increase the chance of
a system crash. Power failure, water on the floor, smoke and fire obviously cause even more issues. Sensors are
available for the IMS System to monitor all of the critical environmental conditions that are important for smooth
operation of your computer equipment.
• Humidity
• Smoke and Fire
• Water on the floor
Physical Security:
• Motion detection
• Room Access Switches
There is a growing concern for physical security in the data center. Malicious activity, and even accidental activity make it necessary to watch over your computer room. Who was there after hours? Who opened the cabinet
door just before the system crashed? The IMS System has the capability to supply this type of information. Security sensors can be configured to track all access activity in and around your data center and generate instant
alarm notifications. Any monitored condition can even trigger an image capture from a camera which can be
immediately e-mailed to the appropriate personnel.
• Cabinet Door Switches
• Network Video Cameras
IP Monitoring:
• Network Ping
• Verify Port Services
The IMS System provides integrated monitoring of network connectivity and server operation. A ping request
can be sent periodically and an alarm is generated when there is no response. Even more detailed monitoring can
be performed with the Port Service Response function. The IMS System can send specific requests to servers for
SMTP, POP, HTTP, FTP, or any other port service for a proper response. You will know immediately when a
service fails on any of your servers. And unlike other monitoring systems, a failure on your e-mail server won’t
prevent the alarm message from being delivered. The IMS-4000 comes standard with a phone line interface for
alarm notification, so network problems and server failures can’t prevent the alarm message from
being delivered.
