Sensor Summary

 

 

 

 

Access database and logs stored remotely on each control unit.

REGY’s access control hardware does not need a connection to the central server to authenticate user access to each site after having been configured.

REGY’s Access Control system can also administer remote site engineer access. Card numbers can be collected and sent back to the central server for administration in real time.

Access Mapping

No data is lost during network outages

If the data link between the central server and the remote site hardware is interrupted. The remote site hardware will collect and store all access, sensor and video information locally and send it once communication to the central server has been restored.

Access authorisation on a time of day, and day of week basis is stored for each employee and for each cabinet

Access Permissions can be added, amended or revoked at any time.

Updates to Access Permissions are distributed to all cabinets locations from the server. No additional maintenance teams are required.

Buffer events and send when network connectivity has been restored

Our intelligent remote site hardware allows you to schedule, not only when this information is sent but what information is transferred to the central office. This helps to lower cellular network costs by decreasing bandwidth requirements and increases the overall system efficiency.

If the data link between the central server and the remote site hardware is interrupted. The remote site hardware will collect and store all access, sensor and video information locally and send it once communication to the central server has been restored.

REGY access control operates autonomously with no need for communication to a central server. To authenticate user access, the remote controller contains a complete database of up to 20,000 users.

Send compressed data only when needed to lower operation costs

Each communication packet sent between the AKCess Pro Server central management software and the remote REGY controller is compressed to save cellular network bandwidth transfer.

Uncompressed Remote Site Video

Off-grid rechargable power supply and battery monitoring

REGY remote units can be used off-grid with a solar panel and battery charge controller. When in ultra low power mode, REGY remote units draw a very limited amount of power from the battery. This not only extends the life of the battery due to lowering heat dissipation, but also limits the amount of time taken to recharge the battery. This comes in useful in days of limited sunlight hours.

Temperature and Battery Health monitoring sensors can be added to check battery health so that scheduled maintenance can be arranged before power outages occur.

Add Environment Monitoring Sensors

Wireless communications infrastructure and remote telecom tower sites contain a range of equipment that needs to be monitored and protected against theft and damage. REGY manufactures a complete range hardware and software monitoring products for equipment found at remote sites.

REGY’s range of intelligent sensor hardware can monitor a variety of parameters in telecom tower sites. Parameters such as :

  • Temperature,
  • Humidity,
  • Air Flow,
  • Water Leaks,
  • Motion,
  • Vibration,
  • Dry Contacts,
  • AC or DC Power,
  • Third Party 4-20mA Sensors,
  • Fuel Sensors,
  • Smoke Detectors and more…

Certain environmental and third party equipment conditions can be detrimental to site efficiency and must be monitored 24/7. Alerts should also be generated when sensors go outside of pre-defined limits.

REGY’s Virtual Sensors collect data from third party equipment and can also use the information to send out alerts. Virtual Sensors can be configured to poll data via :

  • SNMP Get / SNMP Receiver
  • MODBUS
  • Custom BASH / PERL Scripting
  • PING
Remote Site Controller for SNMP Data

Notification Wizards

 

Protect against water and smoke damage

REGY environmental monitoring allows for intelligent sensor to be connected to REGY base units such as the securityProbe or sensorProbe series. Sensors are automatically recognized using REGY’s AutoSense feature. REGY lets you monitor and control :

  • Temperature
  • Humidity
  • Smoke
  • Water leakage
  • Air Flow
Notification Types

The REGY base units work standalone or can be used with AKCess Pro Server. All sensors include an integrated data collection and graphing package; especially useful in trend and information analysis.

For example, spotWater Sensors can be used to detect water leaks from CRAC systems. Smoke Detectors can be used to detect the initial signs of component fires in data cabinets.

Events that lead to disaster can be used to proactively alert data center staff to maintain equipment correctly or to take corrective action. When events occur, the REGY base unit or AKCess Pro Server can be configured to send :

  • SNMP Traps
  • Email Messages
  • SMS
  • Telephone Calls
  • Audio Alerts
  • Relay On/Off Signals and more…

Monitor air flow, temperature and humidity

An essential part of any computer room monitoring system is accurate temperature and humidity monitoring and knowing when CRAC units are on or offline. Rising temperatures lead to system failure, unwanted downtime and costly repairs.

REGY’s equipment helps to avoid these costly errors with easy to configure, cost effective systems that are ready to run, right out of the box.

 

Graphing of sensor data

Up to 12 REGY Sensors can be graphed on an REGY base unit. The AKCess Pro Server allows for an unlimited number of graphs to be monitored.

Customizable Virtual Sensors

REGY’s Virtual Sensors collect data from third party equipment and can also use the information to send out alerts. Virtual Sensors can be configured to poll data via :

  • SNMP Get / SNMP Receiver

PUE cost savings : Server Room vs Wire Closet

In the study "Improving Energy Efficiency for Server Rooms and Closets" from Berkeley Lab they explain how an IT administrator for a medium sized company has ~10 servers, each consuming 500W. A cost comparison can be drawn between a using a wire closet setup and server room configuration using PUE calculations.

This example assumes the cost of electricity is $0.12 per kilowatt-hour (kWh).

While the servers are using the same amount of energy, the costs associated with powering the room varies based on the PUE efficiency of the cooling and power infrastructure. By consolidating server racks to a central server room location you can better control cooling help to save on operating costs from day one.

 

Monitoring the power consumed by IT and non-IT infrastructure is a crucial element of an IT deployment.
