AVANTE to offer 60-day free trial for its RFID real-time locating solution for data center management

PRINCETON, N.J.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–AVANTE is offering a 60-day free trial of its patented real-time locating active RFID solution for data center management. This cost effective data center management solution helps to assure uninterrupted computing services with preventive and predictive real-time temperature and movement data.

What are the benefits of the AVANTE Real-Time Locating System and Personnel-Asset Visibility System in your Data Center?

  • Documented compliance of data and system security down to each individual component.
  • Real-time location visibility and detailed control on leased and owned assets.
  • Ability to document assets and staff relationships from the arrival at dock to disposition.
  • Temperature at each server blade is reported in real-time along with its position. This provides a real-time map of temperature distribution and a profile of the data center for pro-active service before systems fail.

How does the AVANTE Real-Time Locating System and Personnel-Asset Visibility System work in the data center environment?

  • A ZONER™-ASID active RFID tag of size 1”x2” with temperature and motion sensors is used to tag each server and IT asset.
  • A ZONER™-SSID and ZONER™-GPID active RFID tag of ISO card size is used by data center staff and general staff respectively.
  • Every second, the ZONER™ transmits asset ID along with exceptions such as movement and temperature excursions beyond normal ranges.
  • A grid of four RELAYER™ real-time locating readers is placed on the boundary of the data center to provide the real-time location of all assets and personnel.
  • Real-time locations and their respective temperatures are mapped in a visual display with highlights of any anomalies. Reports of the same with display are available from anywhere within this IP-based solution.

The free trial solution includes 30 ZONER™ asset tags, 20 personnel badges, four real-time locating readers, a pair of nodal readers, installation and verification along with .NET framework web-based software solution. AVANTE engineers and sales staff will be happy to provide a free estimate for a full system implementation.
