The Cost of Unseen Threats
Environmental threats don't announce themselves.
Temperature spikes, water ingress, smoke, unauthorised access — by the time a manual check picks them up, damage is already underway. Most facilities rely on periodic inspections and reactive responses, leaving critical gaps in continuous protection.
- Environmental conditions go undetected between manual checks
- No real-time alert when temperature, humidity, or airflow thresholds are breached
- Physical access to racks and server rooms is unmonitored
- Remote and edge sites have no eyes on the ground
NetBotz closes those gaps.
NetBotz is an active monitoring solution designed to protect against physical threats — environmental or human — that can cause disruption or downtime to IT infrastructure. It is a scalable suite of networked appliances, sensors, access controls, and cameras designed to safeguard environments ranging from network closets to full-scale data centres.
- Real-time monitoring of all critical environmental factors, with automated alerts.
- Fully integrated camera and access control tracking built-in.
- Centralised management for both central data centres and remote edge sites.
- Seamlessly integrates with the broader EcoStruxure architecture.
Core Capabilities
Environmental Sensor Monitoring
NetBotz devices offer a wide array of environmental sensors, including temperature, humidity, airflow, and more — providing real-time visibility into the conditions of your data centre and allowing you to preemptively address potential issues before they cause costly downtime. Wired sensor support includes spot fluid detection, vibration, and smoke detection.
Integrated Physical Security
NetBotz devices come equipped with integrated cameras and motion sensors, empowering you to monitor your infrastructure remotely and respond to security threats promptly. Camera pods support long-term video storage, alert tagging, and clip retrieval.
Rack Access Control
APC by Schneider Electric NetBotz Rack Access delivers rack-direct access control, surveillance, and environmental monitoring all in a single view — fully integrated and scalable with mass configuration, enabling remote and local access control for Schneider Electric, APC, and third-party components.
Multi-Channel Alerting
NetBotz devices provide customisable alert notifications via email, SMS, or SNMP, ensuring that you are promptly notified of any critical events or changes in your environment.
EcoStruxure Integration
NetBotz integrates natively with Schneider Electric's EcoStruxure platform — including Data Center Expert, IT Expert, and IT Advisor — providing centralised dashboards, event correlation, and unified management across your entire infrastructure estate.
