For the mechanical assets in your data center, Mechanical System Alerts notify you of the alarm conditions of all the underlying data points.
Early Smoke Detection
Devices which can detect smoke and fire are installed throughout the data center. When these detectors sense fire or smoke, they sound an alarm from a triggered system alert.
