Compact integrated security package complements rack cabinets for mission critical applications where continuous system availability is essential.
New from Amplicon, the i-Box is a compact, totally integrated security solution designed to complement its range of rack cabinets for mission critical applications where continuous system availability is essential.
The i-Box is a scalable online monitoring system that offers flexible and remote access control and can initiate immediate security deployment.
Features include: validation and thermal analysis control of the rack design to meet thermal issues and rising heat densities both now and in the future; the maintenance of a stable environment while delivering pro-active management of IT equipment in the rack; the ability to monitor rack power requirements; and 24/7 IP-based management for LAN/WAN.
This level of control is achieved using six modules designed to be housed in a single i-Box unit.
The Enclosure Module monitors the provision of a totally integrated rack solution including event logging of all IT equipment in the rack.
The Security Module provides security deployment with preconfigured "on event" actions to trigger alarms or e-mails.
This also enables the implementation of visual communication by adding remotely monitored cameras.
The Thermal Module analyses and monitors the rack, and is designed to meet thermal challenges including rising heat densities now and in the future.
The module provides a high density cooling system and controls the operation of cooling fans in the rack.
The Environmental Module actively manages IT equipment in the rack by monitoring the temperature, humidity, flood and hot spots, thus keeping environmental conditions to within required threshold levels.
The Power Module can be configured, adapted and retro-fitted to the rack, monitoring the power requirement along with UPS solutions and remote managed power supply.
And the Remote Monitoring Module provides 24/7 IP-based remote monitoring software, offering unrivalled global management of rack security for multiple locations from a central or single site.
Amplicon manufactures its own rack-mount computer systems under the names Ventrix, Impact-R and Impact.
The company's experience and expertise in this field enable it to build reliable rack-mount computer systems for use in the most challenging of industrial environments.
Amplicon also offers a range of versatile rack cabinets to house these systems.
The i-Box has been launched to complement these product ranges and enables the company to provide total solutions for mission critical industrial applications.
