Amplicon is launching the i-Box, a compact, totally integrated and scalable online monitoring system to complement its range of rack cabinets
Amplicon is launching the i-Box, a compact, totally integrated security product designed to complement its range of rack cabinets for mission-critical applications where continuous system availability is essential.
The i-Box is a scalable online monitoring system that offers flexible and remote access control and can initiate immediate security deployment.
Features include: validation and thermal analysis control of the rack design to meet thermal issues and rising heat densities both now and in the future; the maintenance of a stable environment while delivering proactive management of IT equipment in the rack; the ability to monitor rack power requirements; and 24/7 IP-based management for Lan/Wan. This level of control is achieved using six modules designed to be housed in a single i-Box unit:
Enclosure Module – Monitors the provision of a totally integrated rack system including event logging of all IT equipment in the rack.
Security Module – Provides security deployment with preconfigured ‘on event’ actions to trigger alarms or emails. Enables the implementation of visual communication by adding remotely monitored cameras;
Thermal Module – Analyses and monitors the rack. This is designed to meet thermal challenges including rising heat densities now and in the future. It provides a high-density cooling system and controls the operation of cooling fans in the rack;
Environmental Module – Proactively manages IT equipment in the rack by monitoring the temperature, humidity, flood and hot spots, thereby keeping environmental conditions to within required threshold levels;
Power Module – The system can be configured, adapted and retrofitted to the rack, monitoring the power requirement along with uninterruptible power supplies and remote managed power supply;
Remote Monitoring Module – 24/7 IP-based remote monitoring software, offering unrivalled global management of rack security for multiple locations from a central or single site.
Amplicon manufactures its own rackmount computer systems under the names Ventrix, Impact-R and Impact. The company’s experience and expertise enable it to build reliable rackmount computer systems for use in the most challenging of industrial environments. Amplicon also offers a range of versatile rack cabinets to house these systems. The i-Box is being launched to complement these product ranges and enables the company to provide ‘total solutions’ for mission-critical industrial applications.
