Is it Hot in Here? ELM Enterprise Manager Monitors the Environment

We know there's more to worry about than the OS, applications, firewalls... Knowing when your environment is under attack from an environmental source is important, too.

That's why we've just published a whitepaper, "ELM Enterprise Manager Monitoring Solutions: Environmental Monitoring", about how to set up an appliance that monitors for temperature, humidity and wetness and monitor the information it sends through ELM Enterprise Manager. As we've discussed in previous newsletters, EEM has the ability to receive SNMP traps and it can proactively check readings on a network device using the SNMP Monitor. Get a copy of the Whitepaper.

So now you don't have to patrol your world to monitor your environment. Let ELM Enterprise Manager do it!

Reminder:


We've released a new maintenance version of our software, version 4.0.213

Red, the color of love and...

  • In order to see the color red, the lens of the eye has to make a special adjustment to focus on the red wavelength, and this focal adjustment makes red appear to advance or zoom in.
  • Red is the most common color found in national flags.
  • The red color of barns that dot the rural landscape serve more of a practical purpose than aesthetic one. Red barns are warmer in the winter because the color red absorbs more of the sun's rays than many other colors.
  • Red, sitting at the top of the rainbow, has the longest wavelength and the slowest vibration in the visible light spectrum.

And just in case you wondered...

Orange
  • In heraldry, orange is a sign of strength and endurance.
  • Orange symbolizes change and flexibility, and in recent years is associated with good health.

Yellow
  • The brightest color in the spectrum, yellow is seen before other colors when placed against black. This combination is often used as a warning sign in nature by insects such as the bumblebee and to signal hazards in industrial situations, such as the yield road sign.
  • Babies and children respond to yellow because, according to some research studies, it is the first color the eye recognizes.
  • Hindus in India wear yellow to celebrate the festival of spring. The heraldic use of yellow to indicate honor and loyalty is contradicted by later connections with cowardice.
  • Yellow lamps or glass windows stimulate the nerves of the brain and the body.

Green
  • Green gives stability, endurance and quietude. To the Japanese, midori (green) is seen as the color of eternal life.
  • People who work in green environments have fewer stomachaches.
