NAPERVILLE, ILL., UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, July 25, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — Grid Connect, Inc. has signed an agreement with AKCP Inc., a maker of SNMP-based environmental and security monitoring solutions, to become the sole U.S. distributor of the sensorProbe+ Basic product line. The sensorProbe+ Basic product line is a low-cost solution for monitoring temperature, humidity, water leaks, power, and security in, for example, a server room. The sensorProbe+ Basic product line also addresses companies’ need to monitor IT cabinets, closets, racks, data centers, and other computer assets.
“The sensorProbe+ Basic can monitor an array of things like whether the equipment in a server room is running and cooled; a back-up generator has enough fuel, and an air conditioner leak is affecting the sub floor,” said Nicholas Barrowclough, president of AKCP. “While we designed the sensorProbe+ Basic for monitoring data centers, other applications include greenhouses, cold chain, and batteries.”
Complementing the sensorProbe+ Basic is the AKCPro Server, which is data center infrastructure management software, or DCIM. AKCPro Server is a platform for monitoring all an organization’s sensors. For an enterprise with multiple data centers and racks of servers, AKCPro Server can monitor sensors in every location from a main screen that maps, for instance, temperature. IT managers can click on a temperature reading from an AKCP sensor and drill into where in a data center, or even an individual rack, the heat spike stems from.
“We signed on with AKCP because its products are affordable and with a high degree of features,” said Rick Rockershousen, vice president of Grid Connect. “AKCP’s sensors and software are simple to implement for the biggest and smallest customers, whether it’s a corporation wanting to monitor each small IT rack inside hundreds of retail locations or a homeowner who wants to monitor a wine closet.”
• The sensorProbe1+ Basic comes equipped with a sensor port, dry contact, PoE, and a built-in temperature sensor on a 5-ft cable.
• The sensorProbe2+ Basic has two sensor ports enabled and PoE.
• The sensorProbe2+ Basic LCD has two sensor ports enabled, LCD display, dry contact, and PoE.
