GN0116 Guardian Over the NET™

The GN0116 Guardian Over the NET™ is designed to offer remote environment monitoring and management of your server room or critical systems. With its remote control and logical configuration features, powerful management capability and flexible scalability, it enables you to build a safe and reliable environment for your server room or data center. An IT administrator is able to real-time monitor the status of the equipments or environment, identify and troubleshoot system problems at an early stage, thereby minimizing repair costs and guaranteeing 24/7 reliable server room/data center operation.

Remote Environment Monitoring

Via an Internet connection, IT administrators can conveniently observe the environment of their server rooms and data centers from virtually anywhere. Monitor temperature, humidity and smoke, in addition to the status of critical equipment, voltage and current for example. Furthermore, users can set environment thresholds (Temperature, humidity, voltage and current) to allow equipment to be monitored for irregularity.

Remote Power Management

There is no need to move back and forth anymore to power on/off servers located in a server room. By simply clicking a button on the browser-based UI, administrators can reset devices, power devices/severs on/off, manually or automatically turn on/off lights, or enable/disable the backup power source. Real-time power control ensures the systems/environment operate smoothly, avoids the system being interrupted due to irregularities, and prolongs the lifetime of the systems or devices.

Automatic Control

Administrators can set a logical relationship between an Analog/Digital Input port and a Digital Output port/Power Outlet, such as to turn on the fan plugged into the power outlet of the GN0116 when the temperature (regulated by a sensor connected to an input port) reaches a certain level, or perhaps set off an alarm should smoke be detected. In a multiple GN0116 installation, the administrator can even configure relationships between the ports connected to different GN0116 units. Ultimately, maintenance costs are drastically reduced since constant administrator supervision is no longer required.

Early Warning Notification

The GN0116 supports connection to various alarm devices and/or an SMS sender for early warning. With logical configuration, messages can be sent to administrators when irregularities occur. Also, an email warning can be sent via SMTP server, when a threshold has been exceeded. Necessary actions can be taken to avoid damage or minimize the loss which is caused by irregularities.

Easy Operation – Browser-Based UI

In addition to ssConsole for serial connection, the GN0116 supports a browser-based user interface including embedded UI and the Guardian Monitor Center which is specially designed to set up in an external server. Logging into the intuitive and user-friendly Graphical User Interface is easy with the web browser.

Powerful Security

The Guardian Monitor Center offers various security settings, including advanced password rules, IP filtering, Login String setting, End session feature and Stringent login policy, greatly enhancing the integrity of your data center or server room.

Flexible Expansion

Up to 255 additional units can daisy-chained from the original GN0116 unit, providing the right level of hardware deployment to match your budget and expansion requirements. Furthermore, utilizing the free Guardian Monitor Center software, all the GN0116 which are connected in the same domain can be consolidated to a single user interface for easy management. All the ports connecting the GN0116 units can be integrated in a Table view or chart view for monitoring and control.
