CenterMind G+Because Environment Matters

Its not just hype anymore. The environment around us does matter. With data centers producing

about two percent o global carbon emissions on average, even small variations in temperature,

humidity and air pressure can signicantly impact energy eciency. The new CenterMind

G+ accurately monitors the environment o power hungry data centers. This enables the

conditions o the data center to be ollowed, helping to prevent urther environmental damage.

The RiT CenterMind G+ is an environment

monitoring solution that oers round-the-clock,real-time visibility into the state o the computer

room or data center environment. Monitoring the

conditions o the data center results in proactive

optimization o energy usage, which improves the

environmental perormance o the organization.

Regardless o where the acility is located, an

instant, automatic alert is transmitted should

conditions change (such as a power supply

ailure, or air-conditioning malunction)

enabling a swit response to resolve the issue.

CenterMind G+ hardware and sotware are built

to provide maximum fexibility, according toeach organizations monitoring needs. This may

be monitoring one cabinet in a remote branch,

or a medium-sized communication room, to

providing a ull comprehensive solution which

includes provisioning data center equipment.

Furthermore, RiT CenterMind G+ provides an

additional security advantage allowing mission-

critical sites and acilities to be monitored in real-

time. With door sensors on rooms and cabinets, an

instant indication is provided when an unauthorized

person intereres in processes. An additional IP

camera can take a snapshot o the intruder, helping

in the identifcation and tracking o the occurrence.

CenterMind P+When Power Becomes All-Consuming

It is widely recognized that data centers consume a phenomenal amount o power. As data centers are

growing larger, power continues to be a critical issue. For example, 1U rack switch with 24 Etherne

ports in continuous use will consume 2,190 kWh in one year (which will release approximately two

tons o carbon dioxide into the atmosphere).

RiTs CenterMind P+ provides a robust and

fexible solution or properly monitoring and

managing the power usage in the data center,rom any location.

This means, not only knowing how much power

the data center is consuming as a whole, but

discerning how much power each device is

consuming at any one time.

With a clear picture o each device and their power

usage, the IT manager can act on any potentially

problematic devices or deviances. Furthermore,

with remote capabilities, a reboot can be initiated

rom aar, saving time and preventing urther

disasters rom occurring.

CenterMind P+ comes with hardware and

sotware and oer countless other benets suc

as:

TOTAL DEVICE CONSIDERATION: Real-time

power consumption monitoring capabilities

track each device.

COMPLETE DCIM SOLUTION: Gain a

comprehensive DCIM without complex

implementation, oering a single point o

management or data center equipment,

environment and power.

COMPREHENSIVE PROVISIONING:Optimal

provisioning capabilities through ast and

complete consideration o power issues or

both primary equipment and redundancy

options.

DISASTER PREVENTION: Immediately shows

potential problematic deviances in power

usage so action can be taken straight away,

preventing disasters rom occurring.

REMOTE VISIBILITY AND CONTROL: Power

can be managed remotely with reboots and

more, rom any location.

A GREEN ENVIRONMENT: Considering power

consumption in every aspect o the data

center management means additional

environmental benets.
