Case Study: Netzperten prevents network shutdowns and saves hundreds of thousands with Fortra's Intermapper

Netzperten Helps Hospital Server Rooms Keep Their Cool with Intermapper

Netzperten, a German network consultancy that manages IT for many healthcare facilities, faced recurring server-room overheating after air‑conditioning and power switches failed—temperatures reached 65–70°C, causing hard‑drive failures and significant data loss. Ensuring server-room environmental monitoring became as critical as tracking servers, routers, and switches.

Netzperten deployed Intermapper with environmental sensors and a custom probe (installed in about four hours) to poll temperatures and trigger SMS alerts. During a mandatory power test the system detected a rapid rise from 20°C to 40°C in 30 minutes, notified technicians, and prevented further failures—saving hundreds of thousands of dollars in equipment, reducing downtime, and speeding problem resolution.
