Monitor and protect your IT infrastructure with certainty
In today’s world, with the heavy reliance on IT infrastructure to maintain business continuity, it is more essential than ever for a business to protect its IT assets and avoid downtime. Intentional or accidental access events and environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, smoke, and water leaks pose a significant threat to the company’s IT infrastructure. Regulatory and compliance requirements require organizations to limit only authorised individuals’ physical access to information systems, equipment, and operating environments. APC’s security and environmental monitoring solution – NetBotz can help tackle all these challenges simultaneously so businesses can focus on growth.
