Temperature Sensors

Overheating???

Spring weather is showing the potential of bringing us a long hot summer, which provides an opportune time to remind you as the outside tempatures increase,  it can also affect your IT equipment inside - in particular server rooms.  You might say  'well we have air conditioning and the server is held in an air-conditioned room,' - but what happens if this unit fails?  Over a warm weekend?

If a server temperature rises above 30 degrees celsius, permanent damage can occur. High temperature can also cause premature hardware failure and a consequent loss of business productivity. What's more, if hardware vendors suspect that the damage has occurred because of overheating, your warranty won't cover the cost of replacement.

Now for the good news! LANtech has launched a new environmental temperature monitoring service that will alert us when the temperature exceeds a set threshold. Already one of our clients has avoided potentially costly hardware failure when their air-conditioning unit broke down.

We're offering our LANcare clients a special discounted rate for this service until the end of October for $55.00/mth (+gst) - that's a saving of $45/mth! (T&Cs apply).  And it's a small price to pay to protect your hardware investment.  Call your LANtech Account Manager today.

And if you're not a LANcare client, call us to find out just how easy it is to become one.
