3 Ways PSMs Provides Additional Value:

TOP

1. Increased Security

   Camera Block-Out – Camera Block-Out protects locations in which sensitive information is communicated, covering the sensitive area with a gray box (in both ‘live view’ and the recorded clips). Camera Block-Out is ideal for locations with:

   • Displays
   • Keyboard sequences (i.e., passwords)
   • Door lock combinations
   • Anywhere else you don't want sensitive information visible

   Digitally Signed Clips - Digitally signed camera clips are the digital equivalent of a visually watermarked document. "Digital watermarking" is achieved through a digital encryption technique and makes tampering with an image or sequence of images easily detectable. Digitally signed clips are helpful for court admissibility by ensuring that an image has not been tampered with.
   

2. Expanded Software Management

   MapView in Advanced View – MapView will allow a map or graphic to be imported into the management screen of the Advanced View management system. Icons representing pods, sensors, appliances, etc will turn red, yellow, or green with sensor thresholds, allowing for a quick visual check of which piece of equipment has exceeded a threshold, and where that equipment physically resides. The result is a shortened troubleshooting timeframe as problems are quickly identified and resolved.
   

3. Flexible Deployment Options

   Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) – This value-add software application adds new capabilities to the NetBotz system by reporting the internal conditions of third party servers into the NetBotz management system, allowing for seamless monitoring of elements in a remote area. IPMI is a standard specification for servers, and performs system management tasks such as reporting of internal hardware information like processor temperatures, fan speeds, and power supply voltages. The IPMI data will be managed to look just like any other NetBotz sensor, including the ability to set thresholds and view graphs.
   
   Advanced Device Crawlers (ADC) – Advanced Device Crawlers make it easier than ever to obtain critical internal environmental conditions of network equipment, integrating the internal physical ‘vital signs’ of servers, switches, routers, UPS, and other network equipment using the MIB-II based status information. The ADC data will be managed to look just like any other NetBotz sensor, including the ability to set thresholds and view graphs.
   
   Network Attached Storage (NAS or SAN) – NAS storage devices are standard third party networkattached storage devices used for storage on the network. This software application will allow NetBotz 500 appliances to store data/images to NAS on the same LAN the appliances are on, and utilize third party, generic devices that are already on the network. Through the Pod Sharing feature (below), alerts and data from NetBotz 420 and 320 appliances may be stored on network storage used by a 500.
   
   Pod-Sharing – NetBotz’s Pod-Sharing software application enables even greater deployment flexibility by treating a NetBotz 420 or NetBotz 320 as a ‘virtual pod’ of the NetBotz 500. The pod appliances may be viewed through the Advanced View GUI of the NetBotz 500 for a comprehensive management solution. When combined with the MapView application and NAS storage, this application allows a NetBotz 500 to act as a site manager for small or remote sites for sophisticated applications that require consolidated management without the deployment size necessary for a NetBotz Central.
   
   Third Party Intelligent Power Strip Integration – Prevent the demise of remote IT equipment through the use of this powerful integration application. NetBotz now integrates Output Power Control into all industry leading intelligent power strip manufacturers, allowing the NetBotz solution to provide power on/off for each port on a power strip and provide a hard shut down of individual ports. The amperage and/or voltage may be monitored on selected power strips as well.
