Vertiv Environet Alert Data Center Monitoring — 50 Device License

Create clear visibility into your data center operations with Vertiv Environet Alert—a vendor-neutral, SNMP-based Data Center Infrastructure Monitoring (DCIM) solution designed to scale with your business. The 50 Device License empowers you to monitor both Vertiv and non-Vertiv SNMP devices from a single pane of glass, simplifying management, accelerating issue detection, and improving operational efficiency across multiple locations. With an open API and easy integration into remote DCIM and building management systems, Environet Alert delivers customizable views, streamlined device setup, and a future-proof foundation for growing infrastructure needs. This description captures the core value proposition, features, and practical benefits you can expect when deploying Environet Alert to monitor your evolving data center environment.

• Vendor-neutral, multi-vendor SNMP support: Manage Vertiv equipment alongside third-party SNMP devices without additional licensing costs, reducing complexity and vendor lock-in while improving overall visibility across your data center ecosystem.
• Open API for seamless integrations: Connect Environet Alert to remote DCIM systems and building management systems (BMS) to consolidate data, automate workflows, and extend monitoring to your existing IT and facilities tooling.
• Scalable and future-ready architecture: Expand easily across devices and locations as your data center footprint grows, ensuring you can add new devices, sites, or capabilities without retooling your monitoring stack.
• New, intuitive user interface with customizable views: Create your own dashboards and data views using the metrics that matter most to you. Prioritize alerts, performance trends, and asset health in a way that aligns with your operations workflows.
• Time-saving deployment and ongoing management: Simplified device discovery, streamlined configuration, and centralized monitoring reduce setup time and maintenance overhead, letting your team focus on preventive management rather than manual monitoring tasks.

how to install Vertiv Environet Alert Data Center Monitoring 50 Device License

• Confirm SNMP readiness of all devices to be monitored, ensure network reachability between the Environet Alert server and target devices, and verify appropriate security controls for management traffic. Establish the scope of monitoring (sites, rooms, racks) and determine who will own incident response and alert escalation.
• Acquire and provision the license: Ensure you have the 50-device license key and any required activation steps per the vendor’s onboarding process. Prepare account access for administrators and operations staff who will configure dashboards and alerts.
• Install or deploy Environet Alert: Follow Vertiv’s deployment guidance to install the Environet Alert server or appliance. This may be on-premises or in a cloud-enabled environment per your organization’s architecture. Complete initial setup to establish the core service, database connectivity, and user roles.
• Discover and register devices: Use automatic discovery to identify SNMP-enabled devices across your infrastructure, or add devices manually by supplying IP addresses and SNMP credentials. Validate device health, SNMP community strings, and access permissions to ensure reliable data collection.
• Configure API integrations: Set up the open API connections to your remote DCIM and BMS systems. Create and test data feeds to ensure the right metrics flow into your external systems for correlating events and automating responses.
• Build dashboards and views: Leverage the new UI to design dashboards that highlight key performance indicators (KPIs), health status, and trend data. Create role-based views for operators, facilities staff, and management to streamline information access.
• Define thresholds and alerting: Establish alert rules, severity levels, and notification channels (email, SMS, paging, or integration-triggered alerts) to ensure timely attention to outages or performance degradation.
• Security and access governance: Configure user accounts, permissions, and MFA if available. Enforce least-privilege access for operators and maintain a clear audit trail for changes to configurations and dashboards.
• Test and validate: Run a controlled test to verify data collection, alert routing, and dashboard accuracy. Validate cross-system visibility by simulating events to confirm proper incident management and remediation workflows.
• Operate and maintain: Establish a maintenance plan for software updates, license renewals, backup strategies, and periodic review of dashboards to reflect evolving infrastructure priorities.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What is included with the Vertiv Environet Alert 50 Device License?
