14 September 2011, Lincoln, NE—Geist DCiM debuted its new software solution called Racknet–S at AFCOM this week. Racknet–S provides a single point of access for monitoring multiple aspects of a data center infrastructure, including temperature, humidity, power, and more. With the ability to auto-discover SNMP devices, Racknet–S decreases set-up time by auto-populating monitored devices. 

Racknet–S's intuitive interface allows for easy drag and drop configurations that let users customize their system by inserting their own floor plans and logos. And as a vendor neutral product, Racknet–S integrates easily with most hardware to give users a comprehensive view of their facility and white space. Racknet–S also includes toolsets that promote proactive monitoring such as aggregated data views, alarm thresholds & notifications, chart builders, and custom reporting. In addition, Racknet–S allows users to insert customizable calculations from monitored points such as PUE, DCIE, key performance indicators, and more.

“Racknet–S is set to become a focal point of our solution set,” said Brad Wilson, Executive Vice President of Geist’s Data Center Solutions Group.  “It has the ability to integrate all of our power, cooling, and environmental monitoring solutions into one easy to use management system, and at a price point well below products in this class.  The user defined charting, graphing, gauging, and reporting are easy to use, yet powerful enough for enterprise wide monitoring.”
