Envirobot - Remote Management Pack

EnviroBot

Kell Systems unique, custom-designed solution for monitoring and management of remotely located installations in Kell Systems Portable Server Environments, in a single 1U rack-mount device.

Envirobot

EnviroBot

EnviroBot is specifically designed by Kell Systems for the ServerVault™ product range. The all-in-one EnviroBot combines monitoring and real-time alerts for all aspects of the hardware environment, eliminating the need for separate environmental monitoring devices, network-enabled PDUs and UPS network cards.

A single web-based interface provides:

Full remote power management functions

  • Power to each device in the rack is switchable on/off individually, by remote command
  • EnviroBot connects to in-rack UPS or directly to mains power outlet
  • 12 x NEMA power outlets on rear panel
  • All devices in the rack plug into EnviroBot
  • Each power outlet has a user-defined device "name" (server1, server2, etc.)

Climate monitoring, ServerVault™ cooling fan system status, UPS status and intruder detection

  • Air temperature in the room in which the ServerVault™ is installed
  • Air temperature inside the ServerVault™
  • Humidity inside the ServerVault™
  • Unauthorized access to the ServerVault™ (doors opened without permission, etc.)
  • Total mains current draw measurement of ServerVault™ and all systems installed
  • UPS status (AC power is coming from “main” or “battery”) when used with UPS devices from APC
  • ServerVault™ cooling fan status in each ServerVault™ exhaust fan module ("OK" or "Fault")

Real-time alerts by email to your pc and/or PDA

  • Temperature in the rack: 3 x Administrator-defined states, "normal", "warning" and "critical"
  • Unauthorized access to the enclosure (doors opened, cabinet broken into, etc.)
  • Failure of ServerVault™ cooling fan systems, with advance warning of any fan performance degradation
  • Power failure to UPS (alerts if UPS has switched to battery power)
  • Each EnviroBot in the network may be assigned a local "name" (Bristol, York, etc)
  • Each EnviroBot in the network reports its “name” in all alert messages

All intelligence is contained in EnviroBot. No software is needed at the management end, unless the administrator wishes to install third party software to convert alarm messages to SMS or pager formats. When a ServerVault™ is ordered with the EnviroBot option, the EnviroBot is pre-installed by Kell prior to shipping. All sensors are positioned in the same places every time, ensuring consistent readings between ServerVault.

What They Say About Us
"The acoustic cabinet is now fully installed and the performance is terrific! It's greatly improved our office working environment and I'd happily recommend your product to others in the future. Thank you again for your assistance and excellent service."

Quenifer Lee
Director, Asia Pacific, 5+Design

"The soundproofing is extremely effective, and so is the cooling system. There was no floor space or budget for a computer room, so we used a Kell PSE instead. It takes up less floor space, it cost less, and it looks good too.";

Jason Sadler
The Geodata Institute
University of Southampton

"We recently purchased 4 Kell 38U Cabinets for 3 of our regional offices and as you can imagine we are very pleased with the purchases."

Scott Greenwood
IT Infrastructure Project Manager, Money Portal Plc

"The rack we installed was lovely, very easy to work with, and the best bit was having racked all the kit, when we closed the doors finally, absolutely everyone´s head came up because all the noise just vanished. They were most impressed"

"The Kell rack was installed, it looks great and does the job, many thanks."

William Fullerton
Systems Administrator, Dialog Semiconductor

Very tight for space in our office, I have two people working in the same room as our computer servers. The new Kell System cabinet has eliminated all high frequency server noise and all we can hear are the low frequency fans. Kind of like the noise of our office central a/c system, nothing more or worse. This is a small room, we have no issue with sound since this cabinet arrived. The build quality is amazing.

Michael J. Kravit, AIA, NCARB, RA
President, Kravit Architectural Associates, Inc.

"When you take into account the cost of demountable partitioning and installing dedicated air conditioning, plus the hardware cost of basic data racks, we estimate that by using Kell's quiet enclosures we save approximately 59% per site, and that’s before taking into account the reduced floor space costs," said Peter Morris, Head of Towergate's property management unit. He adds "We have deployed several of these already and we're exceptionally impressed with the cooling system and the noise reduction performance. We haven't looked back on the decision."

“The soundproofing is so effective that we have staff working just 2 metres away from the fully configured server installation. The server cabinet runs very quietly and looks great, the staff don’t even notice it’s there.” says Marin Cragg, Head of Networking for the National School of Government.
