real-time infrastructure optimization

Data center personnel are overwhelmed on a daily basis with frequent alarms and event notifications from the devices they monitor and manage. Forced to search at length for the root cause of each alarm, they spend a significant amount of time chasing down non-critical alarms lowering the efficiency of data center operations. Being able to limit the number of alarms will improve the efficiency of monitoring and tracking in the data center. Management of alarm notifications is becoming an integral part of building efficiencies within the data center. A new way in overcoming these inefficiencies is provided by Site Manager within the Trellis platform. The Trellis Site Manager keeps systems running at peak performance and ensures maximum use of time and resources. Trellis Site Manager tracks and reports on the health of facility-critical devices and provides information on power, cooling and environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity, airflow and leak detection. Its customizable notification and threshold validation functions allow users to focus on active alarms that need to be attended to immediately, thus enabling the effective and efficient use of support personnel. This increases the users ability to find and work out issues with critical infrastructure devices. It also presents device level data and trends and provides detailed insight into the status and environmental conditions of the data center. With Trellis Site Manager, you can: With Trellis Site Manager, you can: Monitor the data centers business-critical infrastructure and environmental conditions Configure and manage alarm significance Manage alarm notifications via SNMP, SMS and email Collect and analyze real-time data Set and report on energy limits by zone or rack View facility layout and asset utilization Toggle between active and cleared alarms

Ensuring health of all critical infrastructure devices

View device status (Normal, In Alarm, Maintenance Mode, Not Responding) on a graphical floor plan and in real time to get a more comprehensive view of actual device health Control and command other devices to perform actions using an alarm as a trigger, minimizing need for personnel intervention (i.e., high temperature) Gather data from any device in the system once alarm is triggeredthrough Accelerated Polling, the Trellis platform will provide the customer monitoring trends during power outage and when they are running on battery power for maintenance; data center personnel can also compare load to run time to provide additional measurement of load percentage versus available battery run time Real-time tracking of aisle temperature during extended power outage via Cold Aisle Temperature Sensors and track aisle temperature or evaluate high room temperature events Categorize and visualize data via Configure, Control, Support and Specification tabs Configure data points for collection and assign data collection intervals

Advanced alarm/event notifications to data center stakeholders

Prioritize alarms based on the Summary View to allow effective and efficient use of engineers, technicians and other support personnel (send them in only when necessary) Determine response based on what alarm merits immediate attentionmore important and urgent issues are resolved first Provide alarm attributes, filters, transitions, views (active and audit/calendar) as well as actions (acknowledgment, escalation, accelerations, etc.) Assign alarms and notification rules according to user role Side-by-side alarms through the Timeline View to better understand their context, cause and relationship, if any Use logical operators (AND, OR, NOT) to create logic between alarms so notifications are sent only after conditions of related alarm are met; no notification sent if action is no longer needed Get notifications via SNMP, SMS or email, and based on working hours of facilities personnel, the alarms are addressed to the right person promptly Suppress alarms so users wont need to spend time receiving and checking notifications from devices that send erroneous, intermittent alarms Display notification state to determine delivery as Success, Failed or Pending
