Defining room temperature and humidity limits is a critical factor for consideration while operating facilities. Facilities of all types and sizes have specific tolerance limits and can get negatively impacted by extreme heat and humidity, power outrage or unexpected temperature control of the surrounding environment. Facilities possess critical assets and any temperature fluctuations can lead to equipment failure leading to data loss.
Security has always been a primary focus for organizations when it comes to preventing downtime and data loss, and rightfully so. However, many organizations don’t realize that almost 30% of their outages are directly due to environment factors. Common security installations such as firewalls and network software aren’t monitoring for those important concerns. This is why the need for Room Alert, the leading proactive environment monitoring platform offered by AVTECH.
Room Alert monitors and sensors have emerged as a crucial safeguard at every facility to help protect them against costly downtime. It is currently used by organizations ranging from small businesses with just a few employees to over 80% of the Fortune 1000, most state and federal agencies, and every branch of the U.S. military, across 187 to 196 countries.
