Emerson Network Power Wednesday unveiled an upgraded version of its Liebert Nform infrastructure monitoring software.
Nform keeps tabs on Liebert's precision cooling equipment, UPS systems, power distribution systems and any SNMP device that supports a network interface.
Acting as a single point of management, the monitoring software provides alerts to potential downtime threats, reacts to network events and maximizes operating efficiency in the data center infrastructure.
The updated software now provides trending device performance data and sends current and historical information to IT and data center managers. These reports can dynamically update at operator-defined intervals or on specific alarm events, preventing the system from creating unnecessary traffic on the IT network.
"A small problem in a data center can quickly escalate into a disaster," said Anand Ekbote, vice president, Liebert monitoring, Emerson Network Power, in a statement. "Knowing what is happening with power and cooling equipment can keep critical infrastructure systems at peak operating efficiency, which is vital to system reliability. Liebert Nform delivers the realtime data essential to maximizing critical system uptime given IT budget constraints and growing user demand."
In addition, Liebert Nform can increase the runtime of UPS systems by sending shutdown commands to noncritical equipment.
