The computer network has evolved into an essential service within the business environment, on a par with utility services. Consequently, unplanned network downtime can grind an organization to a halt as effectively as a power failure.
With environmental, or physical failures, being one of the major causes of unplanned downtime and data loss, IT professionals responsible for delivering high availability networks are becoming increasingly aware of the need to protect networks at the physical level, i.e. the very environment that houses their computer equipment.
The rack environment presents a unique challenge to network managers: the rack enclosure is in most cases the last line of physical security, but environmental fluctuations and disturbances can be quicker to develop and impact on computer equipment within a confined space.
Sinetica aims two products at the rack environment: NetCom RM provides monitoring of inputs. Hawk-i provides monitoring combined with output control.
