As data centers become ever more significant and more complex, monitoring all the pieces of complexity takes on even more critical importance.
Data center growth projections are profound. One recent forecast by tech analytics company Technavio estimates that the global data center market will grow by more than $500 billion through 2029.
Schneider Electric has long worked to allow solution providers and their customers to keep a handle on growing complexity. One key example of how Schneider Electric has worked to provide products that manage complexity is NetBotz, the industry’s most comprehensive solution for IT security and environmental monitoring.
A key cog in Schneider Electric’s EcoStruxure IT DCIM solutions, NetBotz actively monitors data centers of all sizes to defend against physical, environmental, and human threats, ensuring secure and sustainable operations.

NetBotz appliances are wall or rack-mountable hardware devices designed for environmental monitoring, surveillance, and rack-access control in IT environments. Increase resiliency and monitoring with intelligent pods, cameras, rack access controls and sensors that help prevent downtime and damage by detecting threats like humidity, flood, fire and more. Its scalability and flexibility mean NetBotz monitoring can grow with a data center.
Built-in network management allows for secure connection and control of an individual NetBotz unit. The configurable and highly customizable notification feature keeps you informed about problems as they occur. Integrate EcoStruxure IT Data Center Expert or IT Expert and expand functionalities like managing multiple NetBotz appliances through a single pane of glass.
As rackable hardware that supports and works with the gamut of IoT devices, with software that can collect and process environmental data, NetBotz gives solution providers additional eyes and ears inside a server room. Importantly, NetBotz fits as a key part of a hybrid IT infrastructure solution with easy deployment.
The scalability of the NetBotz monitoring solution means it can grow as today’s data centers grow, and it provides audit, tracking and logging features that are often critical requirements for ESG and compliance.
And with the cost of failures growing exponentially, keeping systems healthy and running is no short order.
