Raritan EMX2-888 Asset Tagging

Electronic Asset Tracking & Management

  • Raritan Asset Management Tags (AMT): An electronic asset tag with a unique ID attaches to an IT device in 1U rack increments.
  • Raritan Asset Management Sensors (AMS): The asset sensors mounted on your racks monitor and provide location information on each asset
  • Raritan EMX: A Web-based EMX GUI allows you to remotely see the location of each IT device or pass the information on to Raritan’s dcTrack DCIM software

Raritan EMX2-888 dcTrack

dcTrack – Using Raritan’s intelligent Asset Management Tags (AMT) and Asset Management Sensors (AMS), EMX provides real-time asset location to dcTrack, Raritan’s data center infrastructure management (DCIM) software providing accurate asset location tracking to the 1U level in a rack.

Raritan EMX2-888 Power IQ

DCIM Monitoring Software

Power IQ – Using Raritan’s environment sensors, EMX acts as a gateway to feed data such as temperature, humidity, airflow, air pressure and contact closure information to Power IQ, Raritan’s energy management and data center monitoring software. Power IQ can create a variety of reports and charts. It can also send alerts when thresholds are crossed. With the unique Power IQ cooling chart you can understand if you are compliant with manufacturers’ and industry-accepted recommendations, and project how much you can save by increasing room ambient temperatures.

Benefits of Remote Monitoring

Raritan's rack monitoring solution helps you manage the physical environment of your rack. With this solution and the appropriate sensors you can:

  • Minimize the hours needed to track IT assets, thereby saving time and money
  • Ensure uptime by monitoring racks for possible hot spots
  • Save on cooling costs by confidently raising data center temperatures
  • Maintain cabinet security with USB webcams and contact closure sensors
  • Improve data center uptime by receiving environment alerts
  • Optimize strategic and tactical decision making for the IT environment by tracking IT changes and growth in real time
