DCIM need not be costly and complicated, says Rack-Sec, which has just introduced the latest in its Edge range, Mini-DCIM.

Mini-DCIM will monitor rack temperature, humidity and power use with the levels presented live on a master unit dashboard. The rack footprint can be viewed with green, amber and red indicators; and charts showing trends can be created (pictured: example of single rack trends).

Alerts can be instantly sent by email and SMS when pre-set levels are reached. Rack-Sec says that Mini-DCIM and its R-Edge products are designed, manufactured and supported in the UK.

The R-Edge range offers further features, such as monitoring fault indicators; a camera to record the image of anyone opening a rack door; electronic swing doors; and door handles fitted with RFID to read site cards.

Rack-Sec says the R-Edge master unit can be customised to accommodate most interfaces, set up costs are minimal and there are no licence fees to pay.
