Data centre management suite

The RimatriX5 Computer Multi-Control Top Concept (CMC-TC) is a monitoring system for physically securing data centre environments, preventing unnecessary down time and excluding unauthorised access.

The system has been architected to provide IT and facility managers with a centrally controlled point of information to manage physical racks and room security. Its modular architecture integrates access authorisation with monitoring of ambient conditions. Temperature, smoke and vibration sensors, together with sophisticated access control solutions and tested enclosure extinguisher systems, provide for reliable rack protection against external influences and tampering.

In its basic version, the system comprises distributed function modules in the form of processing units and sensors. Up to four sensors can be connected to each processing unit, where they are able to monitor one or more functions, as appropriate to the application in hand.

To monitor large numbers of IT racks simultaneously, the system can integrate a master unit acting as a central platform to administer up to 10 processing units and two USB cameras. The master unit provides visualisation of the overall system via all typical graphics-capable web browsers and guarantees a fast overview of all important and security-relevant functions.
