Customer Requirement:
The driving factor behind Endsleigh`s decision to invest in an environmental monitoring service was that the commercial commitments to their client base meant they had to ensure the IT infrastructure was not only protected from a business continuity perspective, but to also ensure any early indications of a disaster were acknowledged in the earliest moments.
Endsleigh has a main computer room on its head office campus in a separate building to the IT department, some 500 metres away and a remote computer room mirroring servers to the main computer room approximately 5 miles away in a dedicated `lights out` computer room environment. When they decided to look for a service provider it was critical that the service provider specialised in environmental monitoring and had a strong background in understanding disaster recovery and disaster prevention.

The Solution:
Spook has installed a Spook Node in each of the Endsleigh computer rooms with a series of sensors attached to each one, monitoring for temperature, water ingress, smoke and humidity.
Both computer rooms are linked to Axis
