No business wants to experience downtime, data loss, or power outages, regardless of their size or industry. Being separated from your critical data means lost revenue, reductions in customer confidence, and for 40% of small to medium businesses, possible permanent closure within 1 year.
Organisations can take precautions to prevent downtime – establishing firewalls, updating anti-virus software, seeking advice from IT and security consultants, and developing business continuity plans are all essential to maintaining uptime.
Environment monitoring is an essential part of any business continuity plan; after all, nearly 30% of all downtime is triggered by environment factors such as temperature, humidity, water levels, power, smoke, and more. Proactively monitoring these environmental factors with Room Alert can help drastically lower the potential for outages and data loss.
continuously monitors environment conditions on your behalf and can instantly forewarn you and your staff about conditions you’re monitoring that may be approaching a threshold leading to downtime or damage. Generally, data centres have been one of our largest user bases, however over the last few years we’ve seen more industries and smaller businesses build Room Alert into their business continuity plan.
If you’re not proactively monitoring your organisation’s environment to guard against downtime, here are 3 important reasons why Room Alert is an ideal fit for your business.
Low cost, high levels of protection
Room Alert monitors begin at well under £150, and many of our top selling sensors such as Temperature & Humidity and Active Power w/Temperature come in at less than £75.
In relation to the equipment and data it protects the Room Alert’s price tag may be relatively small but by warning against downtime the sums saved can be staggering. In a recent survey 98% of organisations said a SINGLE HOUR of downtime would cost over £75,000. An investment of a few hundred pounds to save 6 figures in potential losses is certainly a wise investment.
All Room Alert monitors are designed with easy expansion in mind. Straight out of the box Room Alert monitors can monitor temperature and have a combination of access ports to connect your important sensors. Worried over potential water leaks in that basement office? Install a Flood Sensor w/Cable. Do you have a freezer containing critical medication or lab work? Plug in a Digital Fluid Temperature Sensor to ensure that freezer temperatures stay within your preferred range.
Easy to install and use
Room Alert is used in a range of locations and organisations, from multi-site international corporations to single locations with under 5 employees. It’s important that Room Alert can be diverse, used by any and all organisations, so it has been designed to be fully functional in mere minutes.
Installation and configuration are made simple with the Room Alert system, from our least expensive Room Alert 3 Wi-Fi to our flagship model, the Room Alert 32E. All our hardware has been engineered to be easily configurable by someone with limited to no IT experience, and documentation online for users to refer to any time.
Our YouTube channel is full of helpful installation videos and tutorials to make sure our users get the most out of Room Alert. Many Room Alert users are purchasing and installing their monitors and sensors with the assistance from an outside IT firm or MSP, we still have a large amount of users who need their Room Alert set up as soon as possible after a downtime event occurs, and so we want to make that process as simple as possible.
