We have been looking for a way to monitor the environmental conditions in our server room, which is located in a separate building from my office. The unit that I was looking at probably going with was the APC Environmental Monitoring Unit (AP9319).

The AP9319 is a fairly low cost machine (under $500 AUD) and can monitor the temperature and humidity in a room. The unit is also rack mountable, can be administered from a web-browser and is upgradeable with other units from APC. The unit appears to include everything that we would need.

Unfortunately I am not as IT savvy as I would like and the monitoring options on the APC unit appear to be outside of my skill base. It does include the ability to send e-mail updates, but it does not allow advanced functions like e-mailing through a secure server, which all e-mail servers should be now a days.

According to one review the unit allows for quite a few options to monitor it, but they are unfortunately beyond my knowledge base of how to use, so it looks like I am back to the drawing board with either having to learn new skills to monitor the unit, or to find a different unit to do what we want it to.
