In the financial world, everything revolves around transactions. Today, 100% of financial transactions are dependent on network and computer availability. Every minute of downtime can equate to millions of dollars in lost transactions and can jeopardize a financial institutions relationship with its customers. Therefore network downtime and computer malfunctions are deemed unacceptable. The challenge IT professionals face is they do not have enough eyes and ears to watch-over everything that can and likely will negatively impact the performance of network and computing devices.
While almost every financial institution has deployed perimeter protection solutions (i.e. intrusion detection solutions, anti-virus software, firewalls, etc.) many have not addressed the most basic and real threat to network availability and security … the environment their core IT infrastructure resides in. Threats such as heat, humidity, power-loss, a server fan break down, personnel tampering with equipment, etc. are many times overlooked and are those things that cause more network downtime than anything else. Because of the frequency and severity these problems pose to financial institutions, IT professionals are deploying environmental monitoring and alert solutions that extend their eyes and ears across the network, into data centers, rack closets, virtually any location where IT equipment resides.
