Remote monitoring for modular data centers. Run every module from your desk.
Modular data centers often run unstaffed, in places no one visits. Aravolta gives you the view you would have standing in the module, from wherever you are. At 2 AM, an alert reaches whoever is on call, with the readings and controls to work the fault from home.
Drag the timeline or press play. Click a log entry to jump to it, or click CRAC-2 or a rack for its readings. The timeline is zoomed from 02:10 to 03:15.
What you see remotely
Every system in the module, from anywhere
One Aravolta node in each module reads its power, cooling, environment, and IT equipment, and keeps the history. You get 24/7 visibility with no one on site.

Alerting
Fewer alerts, routed to whoever can act
Each alert arrives with its context and root cause: the reading, the limit, and what the equipment reported. If nobody acknowledges it, the next step on the ladder is notified.

Work the fault before you dispatch anyone
Open the module the way you would on site, then change what needs changing from where you are. Send a technician when the fix needs hands, with the right part.

Connectivity at remote sites
Built for a slow or intermittent link
The link to a remote site is often slow or intermittent. The Aravolta node is built for that. Its connection is outbound only, so there are no open inbound ports and no firewall rules to change.
