Raritan’s Smart Rack Controller (SRC) is an intelligent sensor management solution that serves as a central connection point for environmental monitoring, asset location, physical access, and other monitoring and security sensors. It addresses the gaps in instrumenting a facility or data center by providing an all-in-one intelligent device that collects and delivers real-time actionable data about your facility with minimum change to the configuration of existing power distribution or IT infrastructure.

The SRC is powered by Raritan’s proprietary Xerus Technology Platform with the latest iX7 controller that delivers a future-proof design. Its multiple interface ports connect, monitor, and manage DX2 SmartSensors, Asset Management accessories, and the SmartLock Door System into one device. It is a plug-and-play solution that can measure data in remote areas while seamlessly integrating with BMS and DCIM software. This allows operators to accurately and quickly measure conditions from anywhere, providing valuable insights to optimize and drive efficiency in a facility.

Benefits of the Smart Rack Controller:

• Minimize the hours needed to track IT assets, thereby saving time and money
• Ensure uptime by monitoring racks for possible hot spots
• Save on cooling costs by confidently raising data center temperatures
• Maintain cabinet and enclosure security with USB peripherals and contact closure sensors
• Improve data center uptime by receiving environment alerts
• Optimize strategic and tactical decision making for the IT environment by tracking IT changes and growth in real-time
• Gain audited controlled access to sensitive IT assets with intelligent door locks
• Available in 100-240VAC and +/-48VDC power options

All Data Center Environment Sensors

Raritan’s sensors are deployed as plug-and-play options for PX intelligent rack PDUs, SRC smart rack controllers, PX inline meters, and BCM branch circuit monitors eliminating the need for a separate controller.

Sensors are grouped into five main categories: environmental monitoring sensors, water detection sensors, physical access & security sensors, specialized sensors, and sensor hubs & accessories. Environment data can be instantly sent to a DCIM software solution or managed via a simple web-based interface. Data collected allows a data center or facility manager to see real-time environment data, alerts, and related events to report trends over time. 

Raritan environment sensors enable data center managers to:

• Ensure uptime by monitoring racks for potential hot spots.
• Save on cooling by confidently raising data center temperatures.
• Maintain cabinet security with contact closure sensors.
• Improve data center availability by receiving environment alerts.
• Make strategic decisions on cooling design and containment.
• Set thresholds and alerts to monitor onsite or remote facilities.
