Racknet - Data Centre Management

Racknet, by Geist, is a powerful software solution for monitoring and managing data centre white space. Providing comprehensive reporting and trending capabilities, Racknet is more than a simple reactive monitoring tool—it is a complete, proactive intelligent management solution.

With fast installation, Racknet offers a cost effective solution where 20,000 data points is ample*.  Shipped pre-installed in a server, there’s no need for third-party integration. With the SNMP auto discovery tool, configuration is quick—no more tedious, manual device inputs. In addition, Racknet’s Web interface gives users peace of mind by allowing remote monitoring 24/7. 

*For unlimited capacity or a more bespoke solution, Environet DCiM is also fully customised and installed on your behalf.

Integrating with building and network management systems, gaining collective intelligence about critical data centre environments is easy with Racknet’s aggregated data views and efficient alarm notification. See top-level data from an entire site or drill down to a single device. Customised alarm thresholds, escalation levels, and notification methods can be set in minutes. By providing insight into critical processes, Racknet helps identify problem areas before downtime occurs.

With extensive reporting and trending capabilities, Racknet takes traditional, reactive data centre monitoring to the next level by supporting proactive management solutions. Reports are user customised through the Report Builder tool and can be set to auto generate for accurate, on time production. Racknet’s trending capabilities help identify patterns in processes that can lead to lower costs and increased efficiencies.

A significant feature of Racknet is the Collections tool that allows users to program custom values for collecting and viewing intelligent, real time data such as PUE, DCiE, KPI, averages, costs, usages, and more. Simply plug in the desired formula for a group of points to create meaningful, live values for analysis. These values can then be tracked, stored, and trended for complete, customised management.
