Product Structure

Power Monitoring – Phase 1

The system allows for a connection of

up to 256 Devices over 1 x IP

The PDUs/In-liners can be Single or 3-

Phase

Option to connect a Temperature &

Humidity Sensors over RJ45 to the

hardware device

The Poller facilitates data to NGEN via

IP

Power Monitoring – Phase 2

Our In-Line range can support power

monitoring for Systems that are not

installed into a 19” IT Rack

The In-Line range can support power

requirements for 16a, 32a & 63a) in

single and 3-Phase

The system can connect up to 256

devices over 1 x IP

Each in-line monitor can also support 1

x T&H sensor which is connected via

an RJ45 patch lead

Wire-Free Sensors

Temperature & Humidity Wire-Free Sensors

MPL has introduced a Wire-Free range of products to meet a

constant challenge in managing the datacentre environment. With a

demand to increase CRAC set points globally and the rise in power

and cooling requirements, MPL have recognised the need to have a

flexible solution to manage both legacy and new Datacentre

infrastructure.

Complete Wire-Free Real-

Time Monitoring of your

Datacentre

Wire Free T & H Monitoring

The wire free structure allows for the

installation of up to 63 sensors over 1 x

IP address. The quanitty of sensors is

made up of 3 x EDGE and 60 x RELAY

Sensors in a typical layout.

The relay sensors provide highly

accurate Temperature and Humidity

monitrong as well as delivering an

extensión to the overall range of

monitoring.

The Edge sensors provide highly

accurate monitoring of temperature and

humidity

Features and Benefits

Monitor all your critical areas; racks, cold aisles, hot aisles, CRAC supply and CRAC

returns. Mount and position to any rack in minutes and management with intuitive

easy to use software.

Each sensor forms part of a redundant

flexible Wire-Free mesh network

reporting data in real-time. Allowing

monitoring, alerting and granular

reports both for individual and group of

sensors utilising the NGEN Software

Framework.

Real-time and historical data analysis

Up-to 50 sensors per IP address

Utilise single battery and USB powered sensors

3 years lifespan on a single AA replaceable

battery

Full Datacentre range - daisy chaining the

sensor network

Automatic failover of sensors

Fit to any server rack

SNMP and Email alerts on threshold breaches

Multi Datacentre and Zone Segregation

Drag and Drop intuitive easy to use software

Dual USB powered and Battery options

Rack Access Control: Card Reader System

HID Card

Reader on

Mesh and

Glass/Perspex

Door

Rack Door Access Management

The Rack security management system

is controlled via a specific software

module in NGEN.

The hardware solution is made of a

RALF unit which links the card readers

for the fornt and rear door,

and manages the commands sent back

to the Poller unit over RS485

The system can support both HID and

MIFARE cards that are controlled via

the Sentry card reader which is

installed onto a rack or cold aisle door.

IntelliPoller

The Network Concentrator is an intelligent IP

interface for MPL’s power and environmental

monitoring and access control systems.

Key

Features

• MPL’s devices are connected via a

RS485 serial data bus. The Concentrator

controls 4 such busses allowing up to 256

monitoring devices to be connected via

a single IP enabled connection point.

• If cabinet monitoring devices were to

rely solely on cabinet power to power

their logic, then they run the risk of not

being able to actively report a power

failure when the cabinet power fails.

MPL’s monitoring products are powered

from the RS485 data bus and the

IntelliPoller supplies some or all the power

to the bus.

Real-Time Data Exchange

N-GEN achieves super efficient data exchange by only sending data as it changes and only to users that have subscribed to see it.

• Low bandwidth consumption• Low latency and no wait time• Low memory consumption

• No long wait browser refreshes for data

• No delay or missed events

Data

Only relevant real-time data is exchanged to

Simple Integration

Simple integration into other systems allows complete flexibility in

meeting your organisation's requirements.

N-GEN can send, receive and converge data easily using industry

standard methods.

3rd Party PDUs

You can finally move away from clunky non-standard software and move

to N-GEN whilst retaining your existing PDU assets.

SNMP Based PDUs:N-GEN can gather data from all SNMP based PDUs.

Bespoke PDUs:The boom in socket monitored PDUs over the last 10 years without an

industry defined method of extracting the data has resulted in bespoke

software and PDUS from many manufacturers.

MPL have the ability to analyse bespoke PDUs and incorporate them into

the N-GEN real-time framework.

Power and Environmental Monitoring

NGEN provides the

capability to monitor at the

following levels: Outlet /

PDU / Rack / Row / Zone / IT

Room and Data centre.

NGEN also has the capbility

to interface with 3rd party

hardware to provide an option

for clients to centralize their

management tools into one

system should they have

different brands of product

from legacy environments.

Power Distribution Mapping

Reporting Module

NGEN can deliver a range

of custom reports to suit

individual cleint

requirements. Examples

include:

- PUE

- PDUs on-line

- Power Circuit Availability

- Failure Reports

- Top 10 Racks with % KW usage

- Hotspot / Cold spot analysis

Software NGEN – Threshold Management

Threshold levels can be

configured to suit individal

device/rack requirements.

Alerts that are generated

from the devices can be sent

via Email or SNMP as

required. Las alertas también

pueden verse en una página

en N-GEN dedicada a este fin.

The Alerts can be set at the

following levels:

- Global

- Data centre

- Rack (Groups)

- Device – PDU / or sensor

– Integration with UNITE

NGEN has an integrated

SNMP module that

enables the system to

extract data from the

Unite IP based devices

MPL will request the MIB

File from the client in

order to understand the

data base layout for the

data readings that need

to be integrated

Once the field map is

created, the SNMP device

can then be added to

NGEN and the data can

be stored in the NGEN

data base
