AKCP Monitoring for Colocation
Monitoring is an often-neglected part of the overall collocation strategy. Basic data center monitoring takes very much effort to set up, and it can be a life-saver when the chips are down. Make sure that your chosen data center collocation provider has a strong monitoring system to ensure efficiency in operation. You’ll need a system that gathers and analyses system logs from your devices to receive and forward the traffic of the servers. AKCP has a data center monitoring solution to gather logs from many different devices, store them in one place, and provide analysis tools. AKCP monitoring can be implemented at many levels. Here are some:
Surrounding Monitoring
A data center is not a simple public facility where anyone could be granted access. No matter if it is your own facilities or in a collocation, you should make sure to have the highest level of security. Unauthorized entry can be prevented with CCTV, surveillance guards, RFID security card-based access to internal facilities, and alarms. You can also have remote monitoring access to these various security means.
Environment Monitoring
A proper data center should be set up with different types of sensors to monitor the temperature, humidity, and water, power level. These monitoring systems are installed to keeping track of every environmental variable within their data center. A monitoring system gives a precise notification which might be useful for the technical team to be aware of harmful issues. Thus, implement preventative measures necessary. Proper utilization of these environmental monitoring tools will allow the data center provider to see which system is using which resources, this is what helps them to maintain their optimal performance.
