Austin Hughes introduces low-cost cabinet management system
Austin Hughes has today announced the introduction of a low cost alternative to its InfraSolution X, the InfraGuard cabinet management system. The new system is ideal for use in relatively small data room installations of up to up to16 racks using one master unit and fifteen slaves over a local area network.
InfraGuard features include IP access, switching and monitoring of PDUs, two door and two side panel alarms, control of cooling fans, monitoring of temperature and humidity as well as smoke, shock and water alarms.
The web based Graphic User Interface management software is included in the price and allows up to eight simultaneous users to access and control different cabinets.From a single PDU connection you can cascade up to a further three PDUs per cabinet.
The box itself includes two large visual LED temperature monitoring windows. Two other temperature monitors are also available directly from each PDU giving a potential of 10 temperature and humidity sensors per cabinet.
The additional temperatures can be viewed either via the software or on the PDU LCD screen itself. The 1U unit normally fits to the rear of the cabinet and has a dual AC-DC input accommodating a power fail feature.
