DCIM Solution for a Data Centre / Micro Data Centre
Funambolo MODBUS / SNMP Data Aggregator
Funambolo's FTAGGR_NR is an intelligent, standalone and cost-effective Data Centre Infrastructure Management solution that enables monitoring of essential infrastructure parameters in a data centre or micro data centre.
The system provides a complete view of power, temperature, humidity and other critical parameters. It gives data centre operational personnel accurate information to make informed decisions, improve operational efficiency and reduce operating costs.
The device enables monitoring and control of environment-related subsystems such as cooling units, UPS systems, PDUs, temperature sensors, humidity sensors, water-leak detectors, smoke detectors and door-lock systems.
Key Features
- MODBUS and SNMP Support: Uses industry-standard MODBUS and SNMP interfaces to monitor and control data centre subsystems.
- Local Monitoring: Supports connection to a rack-mounted 7-inch or 10-inch touch-screen HMI display for local monitoring.
- Remote Monitoring: The built-in web interface allows users to monitor the system remotely through a browser.
- Real-Time Clock: Provides accurate time stamping of alarms and system events.
- Built-In Ethernet Switch: Integrated Ethernet ports provide dedicated RJ45 connections for connecting multiple subsystems without requiring an external network switch.
- Alarm Management: Users can define alarm conditions, generate alerts and log alarm information.
- Email Notifications: The system can be configured to send email notifications when alarm conditions occur.
- Compact Construction: Supplied in an industry-standard 1U, 19-inch sub-rack configuration.
System Configuration
The system can be configured through an inbuilt web server. Users can configure DHCP or static IP settings, IP address, SNMP port, network mask and gateway IP address.
The web configuration utility also enables users to define alarm conditions, configure SNMP traps, set email details and map temperature and humidity readings from connected devices to SNMP parameters.
