We often get calls from new clients who have experienced this exact scenario \u2013 a heating or cooling problem occurred over the weekend, leading to crashed servers, lost data, and extremely frustrated employees and clients.<\/p>\n
The biggest issue is that companies in this situation are being reactive; the downtime has already happened, causing revenue loss and confidence loss from their clients. It would be far easier to proactively monitor the environment in their data center, server room, or IT closet to help warn them of problems before they happen.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Protect your investment<\/strong><\/h3>\nBusinesses, especially SMBs, are heavily reliant on their IT infrastructure. Servers, computers, networks, peripherals, and phone systems are critical for day to day operations. Even with the migration to the cloud, organizations still rely on their local network to access their data stored offsite, and many will maintain a local copy of their data for redundancy and ease of access.<\/p>\n
TechTarget estimates that the average small business (one with revenue of less than $50 million) spends 6.9% of their revenue on IT<\/a>. If your organization earns revenue of $10 million, that\u2019s nearly $700,000 per year<\/strong> spent on IT and technology.<\/p>\nIf your business is spending that much every year, wouldn\u2019t you want to protect that investment?<\/em><\/p>\nMonitoring your environment with Room Alert<\/a> does just that \u2013 it allows you to quickly identify environmental factors that have the potential to cause downtime and revenue loss for your company. Being proactive and monitoring environment conditions is far better (and costs far less) than being reactive and needing to repair or replace expensive equipment and data.<\/p>\nEnvironment factors that lead to crashed servers and lost data<\/strong><\/h3>\nIndustry analysts like Gartner and Forrester have shown that nearly 30% of outages are caused by environment issues. Those factors include situations such as<\/p>\n

- Extreme Weather<\/li>\n
- Unexpected Power Failure<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
CIO Insight reports that employees can only work at 63% of productivity<\/a> when outages like this occur, leading to reduced employee morale and customer loyalty.\u00a0 Too many organizations think that because they are monitoring the uptime of their servers and hardware (or their outsourced MSP is covering that as part of an overall maintenance package) that they are covered.<\/p>\n
