The Trellis™ Thermal System Manager module provides thermal management for the dynamic and often complex data center environment. As part of the Trellis Enterprise Solution, this module provides monitoring, reporting and alarm management for the entire mechanical chain from chillers and cooling towers to CRAC and CRAH cooling units. Ever changing thermal patterns can now be managed to optimize efficiency without sacrificing reliability. Use of this module helps prevent wasteful over cooling of the data center, and eliminate troublesome hot spots that consume support resources and increase the risk of downtime.

With the Trellis™ Thermal System Manager, you can safely adjust temperatures and fan speeds directly from the Trellis platform and monitor the effect in real-time. You can also decide, with assurance, which cooling units are inefficient and which are safe to eliminate or turn-off. By having this information, you can drive down the energy usage, improve sustainability and lower your carbon footprint.

E-Line  DIRAK Access and control for IT rooms with or without management systems in place.

Data security in data centers is of fundamental importance. Software-based data protection has been evolving continuously for years. The physical protection of data and network racks is equally indispensable. This is because identification, organization and control are a must, especially where lots of people have access. For these purposes, E-LINE by DIRAK offers you innovative solutions that meet the very highest requirements in terms of security, control, convenience and integration capability. You can integrate all handles in the MLR series into an existing management system, thereby managing centrally who can access which server racks. In addition, you can see at all times which racks have been opened by whom, and when.
