Didactum monitoring with the Monitoring System 100T
The Didactum Monitoring System 100T belongs to the new generation of IP-based monitoring solutions and is specifically designed to meet the requirements of modern IT environments. In an era where digital availability and data integrity are critical success factors, companies need systems that guarantee reliability, flexibility, and scalability. With its modular design and comprehensive support for standard interfaces, the 100T enables holistic IT infrastructure monitoring, capturing and analyzing all environmental parameters of a server room or data center in real time.
The special feature of the 100T model is its versatility. Companies can freely decide which Didactum sensors to integrate in order to secure their critical environments. From temperature monitoring and humidity control to vibration detectors, power monitoring, and access control, all relevant factors can be centrally recorded. Thus, the 100T provides a highly flexible platform that goes far beyond classic server room monitoring solutions.
Features of the Didactum Monitoring System 100T
The Monitoring System 100T is equipped with a wide range of technical features that make it a central hub for monitoring business and IT infrastructures. By default, the device supports up to 36 directly connected Didactum sensors. With expansion modules, however, the system grows far beyond this limit and accompanies companies at all stages of development – from smaller network environments to large-scale data center monitoring.
The architecture of the device is based on IP and can be easily integrated into existing network structures. As a network-based monitoring system, it is independent of proprietary software and can be fully configured via a web-based interface. This gives administrators the ability to manage key functions such as threshold definition, alarm logic, reporting, and data export without needing additional software solutions. This not only saves costs but also increases flexibility in operation.
Alerts and Escalation
A key aspect of the 100T is the high adaptability of its alerting logic. When a threshold is exceeded, the system responds in real time. Alerts can be sent via classic channels such as e-mail and SMS (optional via GSM/LTE gateway), as well as through modern protocols like SNMP monitoring, allowing events to be sent directly to higher-level management systems. Furthermore, the controller is equipped with direct relay outputs that can trigger external devices, initiate shutdowns, or activate additional security systems.
Escalation levels are freely configurable. Companies can set the system to first notify an administrator, and if the disruption continues, the next higher authority is alerted. This creates a multi-level security concept that ensures no critical event goes unnoticed. This high level of customization makes the Didactum Monitoring System 100T a powerful tool for IT infrastructure alerts and data center monitoring practice.
Integration into IT and Building Technology
A major advantage of the system is its support for open standards. In addition to SNMP monitoring for network environments, the device supports seamless Modbus TCP monitoring integration for use in building automation. MQTT integration is also natively available, supporting connectivity to modern IoT platforms and cloud applications. This openness ensures that the system does not operate in isolation, but fits into a wide variety of management environments.
Looking at today’s requirements for server room monitoring, it becomes clear that no company can afford to neglect proper networking of its systems. The Didactum 100T therefore provides the ideal interface variety to centrally connect physical infrastructure, air conditioning, power supply, and security technology in a single platform.
Remote Monitoring Solution
A key feature of the Didactum Monitoring System 100T is full web-based management. Administrators gain access through secure logins from any location and browser. This enables seamless remote monitoring without requiring additional software installation. Beyond direct viewing of current sensor values, the interface also provides reports, alarm logs, and trend diagrams for precise analysis.
The interface is multilingual, making it convenient for internationally distributed teams. Encrypted communication channels are also supported, ensuring that both data logs and alarm notifications are securely transmitted. Cyber security plays a critical role in the 100T, which is protected by a hardened Linux-based system and secured with SSL and TLS encryption.
Sensor Integration
The Didactum Monitoring System 100T can be combined with a wide range of specialized Didactum sensors. In addition to temperature monitoring and humidity control, door contacts, motion detectors, vibration sensors, smoke detectors, or current transformers can also be used. This creates highly granular sensor integration covering all relevant physical and security-related parameters.
Each company can configure its sensor network individually and expand it as required. With support for standardized interfaces, future-oriented expansion is always possible without dependence on proprietary solutions. This makes the 100T a long-term investment, especially in dynamic industries with growing IT infrastructures.
Data Logging and Compliance
All values recorded by the 100T can be stored and tracked using the integrated data logger. In addition to immediate display of all sensor values, data can be archived, exported, and used for reports over weeks or months. The support of formats such as XML or CSV makes further processing in tools like Excel, Cacti, or network management software particularly easy.
This aspect is especially important for companies that must comply with regulatory requirements. Whether for documentation obligations to external auditors or internal audits – with the data of the Didactum Monitoring System 100T, every incident and deviation can be proven. Thus, monitoring is not only a tool for server room surveillance but also an integral part of IT documentation.
Practical Use Cases
Companies deploy the 100T in a wide variety of scenarios. Classic examples include small and medium-sized server rooms, where sensor data is collected in a centralized system. Here, the system ensures that administrators are always informed about temperature, humidity, and access status. In larger data centers, the Didactum Monitoring System 100T is embedded into the central monitoring environment and delivers precise sensor data via SNMP monitoring.
The system is also used outside IT environments – for example, in production facilities, telecommunications companies, or logistics. Through flexible sensor integration, machine rooms, power distribution systems, or storage areas can be monitored in real time and embedded into the company’s alarm system.
Scalability and Investment Security
Thanks to its modular architecture, the Didactum Monitoring System 100T grows with the requirements of its users. While the base model already supports 36 sensor connections, this capacity can be significantly increased through CAN or Modbus extensions. Companies thus have the flexibility to adapt to changes without needing to purchase new hardware.
This modular approach emphasizes investment protection and enables organizations to build on a future-proof platform for years. Scalability makes the system attractive for medium-sized and large organizations alike, who gradually expand their IT or building structures.
The Didactum Monitoring System 100T is a powerful, flexible, and secure solution for IT infrastructure monitoring. It combines server room monitoring, data center monitoring, IT infrastructure alerts, and compliance documentation in a single platform. With its broad support for open interfaces such as SNMP, Modbus TCP, and MQTT, the device integrates seamlessly into nearly any network.
With its high scalability, extensive alarm functions, and clearly structured web-based user interface, the 100T offers companies of all sizes a future-proof solution. Whether for classic temperature monitoring, comprehensive sensor integration, or remote monitoring – the system delivers all the tools necessary for reliable IT and infrastructure surveillance.
Made in the EU, with German-language support and a consistent focus on security, the Didactum 100T is not just a technical monitoring tool but a long-term partner for any company looking to effectively protect its server rooms and data centers.
