Environmental Monitoring
Improving system availability
The fans and power supply units are redundant and hot swappable. Their performance is monitored to ensure that the speed of the fans is adjusted to ensure the best operating temperature for the system. In the event of one of the fans failing, the remaining fan will adjust to manage the additional load and the system will notify the administrator that a replacement is required.
Additionally the temperature of the system is constantly monitored to ensure that it operates within safe limits to ensure data integrity. If the correct working limits are exceeded then the system will send an alert. The change in temperature may occur through internal fan failure or external sources of heat. If there is no response to the alert then the unit will be gracefully shut down to prevent overheating and to protect your data.
Environmental monitoring is part of the Advanced Protection Architecture and is just one of the ways that StoreVault delivers peace-of-mind data protection, allowing you to spend more time on growing your business and less time worrying about your growing storage. [more »]
