InfraStruXure Central 4.0 User’s Reference 11

Introduction

InfraStruXure Central works with your APC NetBotz devices, APC devices, and other 3rd-party

manufacturer devices to provide a comprehensive monitoring solution for your IT environment and

equipment. With InfraStruXure Central, you can instantly view environment readings and a camera

image from any site on your network where an APC NetBotz device has been deployed. If

environment readings for a site go outside of thresholds you have set, the icon label for that site turns

red in the InfraStruXure Central Map view. A Table view presents users with a table that shows all

current sensor data for APC NetBotz devices in a selected group, allowing users to see at a glance

where there is an alert condition. Historical alarm data is quickly accessible by appliance and date.

InfraStruXure Central works with logical, dynamically updated groups of devices that you set up.

Your IT group saves time by executing configuration and threshold operations against an entire group

at once. You have powerful analytical capabilities at your disposal with the Graph/Report view,

where you can generate graphs or reports to display sensor data for one or more appliances over a

specified date/time range. Data can be exported for use in other applications. The administrator of

InfraStruXure Central can choose precisely what capabilities to grant to each user and which groups

or appliances they can access.

In addition to enhancing your monitoring and management capabilities, InfraStruXure Central

improves network availability through a fully distributed architecture combined with remote and

local storage. All of your environmental monitoring and management data can be stored on up 5

remote data repositories, greatly enhancing the volume of data that you can access and

complementing your organization's standardized back-up and recovery procedures. Likewise,

Surveillance video clips are stored on the appliances that generate them until they are needed,

enabling you to centrally manage your Surveillance data while also saving bandwidth and preserving

processing power.

InfraStruXure Central features extensive administrator customizability. View data operational logs,

set preferences for device discovery, data collection, network functionality, and security. Create user-

specific accounts that limit access to sensitive data and powerful configuration tasks. User Accounts

enable you to allow employees or clients access to InfraStruXure Central data without giving them

the “keys to the kingdom.” Create user accounts that limit access to InfraStruXure Central

functionality and features to those that are appropriate for a given user. Specify read or write access to

specific InfraStruXure Central tasks, and limit user access to specific device groups.

Managing Additional Devices

By default, your InfraStruXure Central device comes pre-licensed to manage up to 25 network-

attached supported devices. If you need to manage more than 25 devices (up to a maximum of 1025

unique devices) you will need to purchase an Device Pack license key upgrade for use on your

InfraStruXure Central server. This license key upgrade will enable you to manage additional devices.

Simply contact APC Corp. or the vendor from whom you purchased your InfraStruXure Central

server, purchase an Device Pack license key, and install the license key using the License Keys task.

For more information see “License Keys” on page 88.

Upgrading InfraStruXure Central

InfraStruXure Central can be upgraded with additional functionality with InfraStruXure Central

upgrade packs such as Surveillance View. Upgrades are available for purchase from APC Corp. or

from an APC Authorized Reseller. For more information about Surveillance View see “Surveillance

View” on page 261.
