Opencomms Nform
Centralizes the Management of your Distributed Liebert Network Equipment
When Systems are Critical…Monitoring is Not an Option.
Liebert Nform software solution combines full-scale monitoring with cost-effective deployment through the use of existing network infrastructure – so the cost of dedicated, out-of-band communications cabling is eliminated. It is both scalable and adaptable so it can grow as your systems expand and needs change.

Alarm management capabilities
Liebert Nform can be configured to monitor your network for alarm notifications from Liebert power protection and mission-critical cooling equipment. These alarms can be processed to trigger event actions such as e-mail alerts or local notifications:

Alarm-event exporting to disk – to maintain extended history of events, the file-write can be used for logging and database collection.

Execute external programs – some network infrastructure can span long distances dependent on bridges and routers. The Run External program can execute ping commands to devices on the edge of your network, including routers and switches that represent a network path to resources within your critical business operations.

Condition-based system recording – this action notification can be used to get a snapshot of your system as an alarm-event occurs. This is useful for trouble-shooting and determining the root-cause of failures within the system.

Automated action control response – provides you the ability to control equipment on received alarm-events.

Shutdown clients – for high-priority event alarms, email notifications can be sent to data center managers, notifying them that servers will be shut down soon due to loss of power or high temperature conditions.

SMTP email – for high-priority even alarms, email notifications can be sent to the data center managers, notifying them that the servers will be shut down soon due to loss of power.
