Centralized IT monitoring of globally distributed server locations
Global IT infrastructures require 24x7x365 monitoring to prevent costly outages. Didactum, with the AKCP securityProbe, delivers a platform that ensures real-time detection, alarm escalation, and remote management of server rooms and data centers worldwide.
1. Requirements for Data Center Monitoring
- Instant notifications for any incidents
- Integration of IT video monitoring for access control
- Centralized firmware and system management via probeManager
- Remote KVM for BIOS-level access and troubleshooting
- Remote power management for proactive server control
2. AKCP securityProbe Deployment
securityProbe units monitor power supply, climate systems, UPS, performance, and environmental risks. Alarms are sent immediately via SNMP, SMS, or email, ensuring uninterrupted real-time monitoring.
The graphical alarm map provides operators with complete visualization of all server rooms worldwide, including rack-level events.
3. IT Video Monitoring
Integrated dome and IP cameras allow physical security oversight. Events like intrusions, leaks, or power failures are documented visually, providing a full server room security solution.
4. Out-of-Band Remote Access
Using Remote KVM to BIOS, admins can control servers even during OS/network failures. In combination with Remote Power Management, servers can be rebooted or isolated automatically.
5. GSM/GPRS Redundancy
In cases of network outage, GSM/GPRS modules ensure alarms are still transmitted, maintaining constant communication with administrators.
6. Central Management with probeManager
- Centralized configuration and system overview
- Backup/restore of configurations instantly
- Distribution of firmware updates globally
- Unified escalation plans and alarm rules
7. Real-World Deployment
Multinational firms use AKCP securityProbe with video, sensors, and OOB systems. Admins manage all sites from central dashboards, while external service teams are guided directly to affected racks via visual alarm maps.
8. Business Benefits
- Standardized monitoring across all global sites
- Reduced operational costs via central administration
- Automatic escalation and proactive incident handling
- Integrated video and access security
- Resilient, redundant alarm paths via GSM
The combination of AKCP securityProbe, probeManager, and video surveillance creates a complete monitoring ecosystem. Didactum enables enterprises to achieve nonstop server monitoring, delivering real-time incident response, increased availability, and global standardization of IT infrastructure protection.
