Didactum monitoring with the Monitoring System 50T Bundle Basic Protection
The Didactum Monitoring System 50T Bundle – also known as the Basic Protection Package – offers small and medium-sized organizations a compact and ready-to-use solution for IT infrastructure monitoring. Especially for companies taking their first steps toward professional server room monitoring, this bundle is an ideal starting point. It combines all essential functions required for operating sensitive IT environments: temperature monitoring, humidity control, smoke detector integration, and flexible alerting. The bundle thus provides comprehensive basic IT infrastructure protection that organizations can build on long term.
At its core is the Didactum Monitoring System 50T itself, responsible for capturing and analyzing all sensor signals. Thanks to its network-based architecture, the system can be seamlessly integrated into existing IT infrastructures. Standard interfaces such as SNMP monitoring, Modbus TCP integration, and MQTT monitoring ensure compatibility with both traditional network monitoring platforms and modern IoT environments and cloud services.
Components of the 50T Monitoring Bundle
The Basic Protection Bundle includes four high-quality Didactum sensors combined with the 50T controller, creating a ready-to-use, practical solution. With these sensors, the fundamental parameters of a server or technical room can be reliably monitored and documented.
Monitoring System 50T – the Heart of the Bundle
The controller of the bundle supports up to 100 sensors and allows the configuration of over 700 logical elements. Through the intuitive, browser-based interface, administrators can set thresholds and alarms without additional software. This keeps the entry barrier low while still offering enough capacity for future expansions.
Temperature Monitoring Sensor
A precise temperature sensor with a range from –40 °C to +100 °C is part of the bundle. With an accuracy of ±0.4 °C, it reliably monitors air conditioning units, server racks, or storage rooms. Temperature monitoring is one of the most important preventive measures against overheating, system failures, and performance drops. The sensor supports AutoSense and is recognized by the system without additional configuration.
Humidity Sensor
Complementing the temperature monitoring is a sensor module for accurate humidity control. It measures relative humidity with ±3% accuracy and, together with temperature data, allows calculation of dew points and climate trends. In server rooms, stable humidity levels are essential to avoid electrostatic charges and sudden climatic fluctuations.
Smoke Detector Integration for Fire Protection
A key component of the bundle is the integrable smoke detector. This adds active fire prevention to the basic protection concept. The smoke detector senses even the smallest smoke particles and reports them immediately to the monitoring system. Combined with temperature and humidity monitoring, it provides a comprehensive overview of room conditions, ensuring an effective early warning system against fire hazards.
Advantages of the Didactum 50T Basic Protection Bundle
The Basic Protection Bundle is designed for efficiency and versatility. Compared to standalone solutions, companies save costs and time thanks to the preconfigured combination of controller and sensors. Key advantages of the package include:
- Compact entry point into server room and data center monitoring
- Basic IT infrastructure protection with four integrated sensors
- Real-time alerts via e-mail, SMS (with module), or SNMP trap
- Seamless integration thanks to SNMP, Modbus TCP, and MQTT
- Scalable to up to 100 sensors and 700 elements
- Remote monitoring solution via web interface
- Made in EU with German-language support
Use Cases of the Bundle
The Didactum Monitoring Bundle 50T is ideally suited for various scenarios:
In small server rooms, it provides a complete package for basic protection of sensitive hardware. In data centers, it can integrate into existing monitoring environments for direct rack monitoring. In industrial facilities, it helps ensure continuous IT infrastructure monitoring. In smart building applications, the bundle can be integrated into automation solutions via MQTT monitoring and Modbus TCP.
Remote Monitoring and Integration
A key feature is its network-based monitoring. Thanks to its IP-enabled architecture, the system delivers real-time data and alerts for centralized evaluation. Administrators can access all sensor values worldwide via the web-based interface. This makes the 50T Basic Protection Bundle useful not only for IT departments but also for facility managers, distributed teams, and international service providers.
Compatibility with common platforms makes it possible to integrate the monitoring system with tools like Nagios, Zabbix, or PRTG. This centralizes all data streams at the enterprise level, simplifying consolidated monitoring. Especially for industries relying on immediate escalation alerts, this integration into network management software is a clear advantage.
Scalability and Future-Proofing
Although the 50T Bundle is intended as a basic protection solution, it is fully scalable. Supporting up to 100 Didactum sensors, it gives organizations the flexibility to gradually expand monitoring. As infrastructure grows – for example, with additional server racks or technical rooms – the system can easily be adapted with new sensors and modules.
The Didactum Monitoring System 50T Bundle is the ideal solution for companies looking to implement a professional IT infrastructure monitoring platform without major effort. It combines essential base-level protection sensors, supports modern standards like SNMP monitoring, Modbus TCP integration, and MQTT monitoring, and is fully expandable. With its web-based interface, user-friendly design, and scalable architecture, the basic protection package provides everything required to get started in reliable server room monitoring.
Whether for small IT setups, corporate data rooms, or technical control areas – this complete set delivers a professional start into future-proof data center monitoring.
