Benefits
•Assure business-critical
continuity with comprehensive
event management and alarm
notifications
•Create user-defined rules
regarding email notifications
and reduce time sorting
through inbox messages
received
•Prevent unnecessary tracking
of alarms via the creation of a
“to-do” list to be attended
•Reduce time spent identifying
and resolving issues with
critical infrastructure devices,
ensuring efficient and effective
use of support personnel such
as site engineers or technicians
•Highlight issues that need
urgent and immediate
attention and provide realtime, meaningful information
that addresses the needs of
senior management
•Support your reports with
graphical views presenting
meaningful data
Data center personnel are overwhelmed on a daily basis with frequent alarms and
event notifications from the devices they monitor and manage. Forced to search
at length for the root cause of each alarm, they spend a significant amount of time
chasing down non-critical alarms lowering the efficiency of data center operations.
Being able to limit the number of alarms will improve the efficiency of monitoring
and tracking in the data center.
Management of alarm notifications is becoming an integral part of building
efficiencies within the data center. A new way in overcoming these inefficiencies is
provided by Site Manager within the Trellis platform. The Trellis Site Manager keeps
systems running at peak performance and ensures maximum use of time and
resources.
Trellis Site Manager tracks and reports on the health of facility-critical devices and
provides information on power, cooling and environmental conditions such as
temperature, humidity, airflow and leak detection. Its customizable notification and
threshold validation functions allow users to focus on active alarms that need to be
attended to immediately, thus enabling the effective and efficient use of support
personnel. This increases the user’s ability to find and work out issues with critical
infrastructure devices. It also presents device level data and trends and provides
detailed insight into the status and environmental conditions of the data center. With
Trellis Site Manager, you can:

Ensuring health of all critical infrastructure devices
• View device status (Normal, In Alarm, Maintenance Mode, Not
Responding) on a graphical floor plan and in real time to get a
more comprehensive view of actual device health
• Control and command other devices to perform actions using an
alarm as a trigger, minimizing need for personnel intervention
(i.e., high temperature)
• Gather data from any device in the system once alarm is
triggered–through Accelerated Polling, the Trellis platform will
provide the customer monitoring trends during power outage
and when they are running on battery power for maintenance;
data center personnel can also compare load to run time to
provide additional measurement of load percentage versus
available battery run time
• Real-time tracking of aisle temperature during extended power
outage via Cold Aisle Temperature Sensors and track aisle
temperature or evaluate high room temperature events
• Categorize and visualize data via Configure, Control, Support and
Specification tabs
• Configure data points for collection and assign data collection
intervals
Advanced alarm/event notifications to data center
stakeholders
• Prioritize alarms based on the Summary View to allow effective
and efficient use of engineers, technicians and other support
personnel (send them in only when necessary)
• Determine response based on what alarm merits immediate
attention—more important and urgent issues are resolved first
• Provide alarm attributes, filters, transitions, views (active and
audit/calendar) as well as actions (acknowledgment, escalation,
accelerations, etc.)
• Assign alarms and notification rules according to user role
• Side-by-side alarms through the Timeline View to better
understand their context, cause and relationship, if any
• Use logical operators (AND, OR, NOT) to create logic between
alarms so notifications are sent only after conditions of related
alarm are met; no notification sent if action is no longer needed
• Get notifications via SNMP, SMS or email, and based on working
hours of facilities personnel, the alarms are addressed to the
right person promptly
• Suppress alarms so users won’t need to spend time receiving
and checking notifications from devices that send erroneous,
intermittent alarms
• Display notification state to determine delivery as Success, Failed
or Pending
