Solving IT Costly ProblemsWhy use RF Code?

Environmental & Power Monitoring

High cost of manual capture of asset information.

• Time.• Staff.

High cost of inaccurate, out of date information.

• Cost of information latency.• Non-compliance penalties.• Lease mismanagement.• Over provisioning.

Security vulnerability. Job dissatisfaction. Office disruption.

IT Asset Tracking

1 The high cost of wired sensors.

• Difficult to deploy/redeploy.• Expensive to deploy.• Inflexible.• Awkward for use in racks.

Lack of monitoring increases.• The high cost of power as power and

cooling costs exceed capital asset costs.

• Inability to optimize data center for energy efficiency, cooling and asset use.
