Editor's Choice Upsite Technologies Debuts Wireless Monitoring Solution Upsite Technologies, Inc. (Upsite) has unveiled its wireless EnergyLok Environmental Monitoring System (EMS) 300. The latest addition to Upsite's product line gives facility managers and data center operators an advanced tool to optimize cooling efficiency and prevent downtime in their mission critical space. The EnergyLok EMS 300 is a scalable and affordable wireless monitoring solution designed to track a variety of environmental conditions to help identify opportunities for improving the effectiveness and efficiency of cooling and airflow management. The EMS 300 offers up to 150 wireless sensor inputs, allowing for the deployment of multiple temperature and humidity sensor configurations along with four wired digital inputs, which can be used to track open/ closed doors, motion and airflow sensors, fire alarms, gas and liquid leaks, and summary alarms from critical equipment including Uninterruptable Power Supplies and generators. To help ease of integration into existing management systems, the EMS 300 also includes two wired relay outputs. "In addition to providing critically important real-time information on environmental conditions in the data center, the EnergyLok EMS 300 is also an essential tool for owners and operators who need to optimize their cooling systems," said Peter Crook, president & CEO, Upsite Technologies. "I am delighted that Upsite will be debuting its newest monitoring solution and sharing our field-based research at one of the data center industry's most influential events." Instor Solutions Announces Data Center Earthquake Protection Service Instor Solutions has announced the company's Data Center Earthquake Protection Service. Designed to help data center owners and operators avoid expensive downtime and rebuilding costs, the new offering utilizes ISO-Base Seismic Isolation Platform Technology to future-proof data centers from seismic disruptions. With the recent passing of the 26th anniversary of the Loma Prieta earthquake, which had a magnitude of 6.9 and centered within 10 miles of Santa Cruz, now is the time for data centers across California to reevaluate their earthquake disaster strategies and look at the availability of proactive protection plans. As the exclusive Bay Area provider of the ISO-Base Seismic Platform, Instor is well positioned to assist colocation providers and enterprise data centers with the preservation of their mission critical operations should an earthquake hit the booming tech region. The seismic base isolation solution works by de-coupling away strong seismic ground motions and vibrations from a structure, eliminating or drastically reducing the path through which damaging shock waves and vibrations can travel. Allowing for a multitude of design and layout options, each plank assembly of the ISO-Base Seismic Platform includes a top and bottom platform with two Ball-N-Cone isolators, with planks connected with tubing into a front channel. The front load feature of the product allows for easy assembly and the flexibility to add additional planks as data center needs change. 4 Spring 2016 * www.ElectronicsProtectionMagazine.com Volume 14, Issue 1 Editor & Publisher, David Webster Director of Content Nick Depperschmidt Senior Editor, Shannon Given Associate Editor, Heather Williams Manager of Administration & Customer Service, Marsha Grillo Fulfillment Services & Circulation Marc Vang, Ross Webster Advertising & Sales Robert Schaudt, Sue Hannebrink, Scott Webster Production Jullie Hammond, Production Manager ELECTRONICS PROTECTION (ISSN #1544-7812) is a publication of Webcom Communications Corp.
