Press Release Summary: IT consultant, Edgecoms has become the sole Gloucestershire
supplier of ‘Jacarta’ environmental monitoring systems; safeguarding vital IT
equipment and providing peace of mind for local businesses

Press Release Body: Jacarta has appointed Edgecoms as its only ‘Platinum Partner’ in
the county. Edgecoms has already begun installing Jacarta’s environmental and power
monitoring equipment, to protect businesses against unpredictable environmental
factors. The equipment is of benefit to the entire business community, including the
IT, retail, and financial sectors and works via remote sensors, monitoring
temperature, humidity, water, smoke, voltage and security. From air conditioning
problems, to flooding and overheating, this system can provide early warning and
prevent potential problems from escalating.

Jacarta MD Kevin Fox comments: “Edgecoms’ reputation for delivering high-quality
product and service offerings perfectly complements our own commitment to providing
leading-edge environmental monitoring solutions and the very highest levels of
customer support. We are delighted that Edgecoms has become a Jacarta Platinum
Partner and look forward to using our combined strengths to help customers implement
a further vital level of protection for their valuable hardware and data”.

Edgecoms’ Trevor Craze has managed this new venture and explains why becoming a
Jacarta partner is so important: “Effective monitoring of IT environments is
critical to any successful business continuity strategy. Our environmental
monitoring products provide a sophisticated, yet cost-effective method of monitoring
a whole variety of status conditions including water leaks, smoke, UPS, generators,
voltage and security. A basic unit can cost as little as £400, which is a small
price to pay for peace of mind.”

The Norville Group is one of Edgecoms’ first clients to install the environmental
monitoring software. Matthew Brain from The Norville Group explained why they
approached Edgecoms to install this monitoring system; “Edgecoms were actually
recommended to us by one of their competitors as there are very few IT specialists
that actually offer this monitoring capability. Although the system we’ve had
installed is quite complicated, Edgecoms provided us with some very understandable
information on the product and installed it will very little interference in our
day-to-day business. This monitoring system is fundamental in protecting our
equipment that is worth over £100,000 and which otherwise we’d have no protection
for.”
