Sentry is the Unfair Advantage for Managed Service Providers

What excites me about Sentry is that it gives me a mini network of first responders on one device. I’ll get alerts if the temperature or humidity in the room or server level exceeds a desired threshold. And since this is one device that monitors many things, I avoid managing a hodgepodge of disparate equipment and data points from each. With so many client IT rooms to monitor, Sentry gives me a line of sight across all sites from my chair.

One of the most difficult parts of the job is to have “eyes and ears” in remote or “lights-out” locations, such as branch offices, wiring closets, or remote data centers. I often had to rely on local administrators who were typically at the low end of the technical scale, or I would need to drive to the location myself. Sentry provides a low-cost way for IT administrators to better manage remote locations.

I can honestly say the Sentry device from RF Code will be an industry game-changer. You get three monitoring devices in one unit ... temperature, humidity, and camera monitoring. Sentry is very easy to set up and cost-effective for our team's budget. It provides real-time visual access and rich data on each IT environment that we’re monitoring. It also has thermal scanning so I can check any room that houses critical IT equipment for potential hotspots that would cause an outage in the future.
