Make environmental alarming more obvious

Many times we see the monitoring equipment placed into a data center, where it does its job and becomes lost in the sea of electronic gear. It sends out alerts for temperature, humidity, smoke, gas, water etc., via email or syslogs and that is fine and good.

I have a suggestion. For $125.00 we can add a strobe light and audible alarm device to your BitSight or SecurityProbe.

If you leave it in the data room, no one will see or possible hear it. If you put it in the hallway like we did, it will catch everyone’s attention when something goes on.

If something goes wrong in our data room. Everyone will know!
