NetBotz Rack Access

APC’s Rack Access solution seamlessly integrates with NetBotz, providing a single interface for management and control of rack access privileges, as well as surveillance and environmental monitoring. The Rack Access Pod connects via A-Link and mounts in the rack basement, maximizing space usage. Mass configuration of up to 130 doors makes large data center deployments easy. And because it uses NetBotz architecture, it saves IP address and associated costs, and it integrates with StruxureWare Data Center Expert. HID technology and proximity cards enable integration with building access control systems as well. APC’s Rack Access solution scales easily and can be used for APC NetShelter SX or any brand enclosures.
