Monitoring the environment is an important function for facilities of all kinds, including data centers, warehouses, schools, hospitals, offices, restaurants, farms, factories, zoos, museums and much more. Maintaining a stable environment in which equipment and/or products are housed is fundamental to their continued operation, protection and use. With this in mind, monitoring is usually required on an ongoing basis. The “IT environment and facilities monitoring” market is arguably one of the fastest growing areas in the IT industry, yet (surprisingly) it remains “under the radar” of many IT and facilities managers, until disaster strikes.

When monitoring the IT and facilities environment, there are what are known as the seven main threats: temperature, energy, humidity, flooding, smoke, airflow and intrusion. There are many types of sensors that can be found for many purposes. The aim is to implement sensors that respond to the specific needs of your application, integrating them with an automated monitoring and alert system, while always staying within budget. AVTECH offers a variety of sensors and solutions to help you do just that.
