IT that works constitutes a business-critical basis for the success of companies. Availability and security must be appropriately defined for the respective purpose and closely monitored – by OT and IT alike.
Rittal started out over 60 years ago with the idea of standardizing electrical enclosures. Today, the company is a leading global system provider for enclosures, power distribution, climate control, and IT infrastructure, with a complete portfolio for the entire data center OT layer. Paessler has been setting standards in IT monitoring for more than 25 years.
The companies are combining their monitoring solutions to provide users with a comprehensive overview of the status of OT and IT – because for high-performance and available infrastructures, companies must be able to rely equally on IT and OT.
For monitoring environmental parameters, Rittal provides a standardized modular system for the rapid and secure assembly of the data center OT with all supporting pillars such as rack, power, cooling, security, and OT monitoring. With Computer Multi Control Version III, or CMC III, Rittal supplies a monitoring system that integrates all relevant OT aspects of the data center via appropriate sensors. This ranges from temperature and humidity to smoke detectors and leakage sensors, access control, and sensors for vandalism.
PRTG by Paessler is one of the most widely used IT monitoring solutions worldwide. Ease of use, practical functionality, numerous interfaces and an ecosystem of partner solutions that all interact with PRTG to enable comprehensive solutions: all of this makes PRTG the ideal solution when it comes to obtaining a central overview of both IT and neighboring areas such as medical environments, industrial networks, or OT infrastructure in the data center.
Rittal and Paessler PRTG go perfectly together! PRTG keeps a constant eye on all the important data from your Rittal CMC III.
PRTG monitors the following parameters:
By pairing Rittal CMC III with Paessler PRTG, you can monitor your entire data center.
Thanks to our SNMP Rittal CMC III Hardware Status sensor, you can incorporate your Rittal CMC III into your monitoring system with just a few clicks and instantly obtain an overview of all the most important data. PRTG also offers an alarm function with customizable notifications that immediately let you know when an error or malfunction is about to occur.
In order to ensure the smooth running of IT environments and applications, facility management and IT administrators must work more closely than ever. With PRTG and CMC III, this teamwork becomes easy.
CMC III is a monitoring tool that helps you make sure your IT is working properly. When you link it to PRTG, you get easy-to-read dashboards that let you check all statuses at a quick glance.
Security is an absolute prerequisite in IT. Often, however, the seemingly trivial physical security is neglected over firewalls, virus scanners, or intrusion detection systems. A cable fire, a burst water pipe, or simply an open door can cause devastating damage if not detected and repaired in time. PRTG integrates and monitors IT security systems and also contributes to the early detection of malware. In combination with CMC III, PRTG can integrate not only IT security tools but also the physical systems into the higher-level monitoring and thus provide a central security dashboard.
The interconnected use of Paessler PRTG and Rittal CMC III offers a whole range of significant advantages:
Since 1997, we offer monitoring solutions for businesses across all industries and all sizes, from SMB to large enterprises. Today, more than 500,000 users in over 170 countries rely on PRTG and other Paessler solutions to monitor their complex IT, OT and IoT infrastructures. We believe monitoring plays a vital part in reducing humankind's consumption of resources. Our products help our customers optimize their IT, OT and IoT infrastructures, and reduce their energy consumption or emissions – for our future and our environment.
Innovative strength has been part of the "Rittal DNA" since the company was founded. In 1961, the entrepreneur Rudolf Loh founded Rudolf Loh Elektrogerätebau in Rittershausen. The purpose of the company: "Electrical enclosures directly off the shelf".
The first series production enclosure in the world was launched in the founding year. In 1969, the company was renamed Rittal – after its roots in Rittershausen in the Dietzhölz valley. A few years later, Rittal enclosures have become the global standard – and they still are today.
