For modern business having reliable IT systems is vital. Keeping these systems running at all times for staff, suppliers and customers is essential to ensure business continuity is not lost. This is particularly true as businesses roll out cloud and internet telephony technology meaning IT areas and devices need monitoring  24 hours a day, 7 days a week for all 365 days of the year to provide services that all of us take for granted.

Business premises require monitoring systems to make sure that all of the support systems are running efficiently. Early warnings of potential issues are essential to ensure that the business can operate both efficiently and effectively. Therefore monitoring is an important need for companies however, they will want a solution that means they can still focus on their core business.

This is where Ecl-ips can help by providing real-time monitoring that is comprehensive and brings together all the data collected at the touch of button. This will help the business run in an efficient manner with no lost revenue due to the heating being too low or high, the air conditioning system not working, a burst pipe flooding the server room, etc.

A broad range of server room monitoring hardware, software and services are available to provide businesses with the systems that they require to monitor these areas. The parameters include temperature, humidity/dewpoint, fluid, airflow, smoke, power, intrusion and third party devices.-monitored IT suites can expose businesses to the extent that it makes it difficult to operate without connectivity to the core IT services.
