NetBotz 420

You can't physically be in your server room and wiring closet 24 hours a day, but you can keep tabs on them around the clock with an environmental-monitoring system, such as the APC NetBotz 420. The price of the wall-mounted model I reviewed includes...

Solidly constructed, high-quality unit. Excellent documentation. Easy to install. Comes with everything needed to monitor a server room

Expensive. Power cord, sensor cables too easy to accidentally disconnect. Requires APC accessories rather than standard, cheap dry-contact sensors

Small businesses looking for an easy way to monitor a server room will like the installation and management simplicity of the NetBotz 420if they can afford the costly system.
