Spook supports a large number of clients for all industry sectors
Spook sample industry sectors
We have a wealth of experience that is free and helpful in creating an informed approach to monitoring. We are also resellers to industry leading sensor and equipment manufacturers and can recommend the most appropriate hardware and sensors to fit any size monitoring project.
We help organisations start monitoring projects from scratch as well as assist those that have tried monitoring themselves but need help to extend monitoring to new areas and/or implement a joined-up, central monitoring solution.
Leisure and entertainment
Spook monitors the IT environments and power resources within our server rooms in the UK and in our Sofia location in Bulgaria. By monitoring power at power strip level means we can pro-actively measure power consumption centrally and deploy informed load balancing procedures to the business. We also monitor key power metrics of our various UPS systems and water ingress via third party water panels linked to Spook’s OmniWatch monitoring service.
Creative Assembly

Local government
Spook's secure realtime dashboard provides an easy use monitoring platform for our busy IT department. We centrally manage the various IT rooms across the Council's campus and in three remote comms rooms in neighbouring towns. We have found Spook's service is the most advanced, in terms of monitoring and reporting.
East Riding of Yorkshire Council
One of the UKs largest unitary authorities.
Banking and building societies
We needed a computer room monitoring application to monitor many different parameters of our computer room plus the ability to monitor via a web GUI. Crucially we needed a 24hr monitoring service that would provide real-time alerting. We always felt relying on technology to contact us was flawed but with Spook they have developed an excellent tiered approach that means we are contacted even if emails and SMS message fail.
Nordea Bank
The largest Nordic financial services group.
Travel and logistics
Spook is installed and monitors multiple Nisa server rooms around the head office campus and in three distribution locations in the UK. We have always found dealing with Spook to be easy and straightforward. They are specialists in monitoring. Spook continually keeps us updated on all new developments and functionality, ensuring we maximise the delivery of our IT services to the business.
Nisa Retail

Food and beverages
We run our IT infrastructure spread over five buildings with multiple server rooms and comms closets. Spook lets us monitor the environment in each of these rooms with a central dashboard. We can be confident that we'll be alerted if anything goes wrong, from leaking air-conditioning units to power failures. We can rest easy knowing that it’s always being watched, and concentrate on other IT projects our business relies on.
Refresco
The worlds largest bottler of beverages.
NHS organisations
We needed a remote monitoring service that did not require an on premise PC and was independent of our network. Spook provided pre-configured cellular routers for each of our five data centers. The whole project was a simple plug-and-play solution with little or no involvement from us which left us to concentrate on other pressing matters. We were pleased on how Spook ran with the project as it was in December and we needed a service in place before year end. Once the cellular routers were powered up, we had instant access to our secure digital dashboards. We remain impressed with the ease of the whole process provided for by Spook.

Capita has had a close working relationship with Spook from their inception in 2003. Capita and Spook have worked closely with each other over the years which has helped Spook develop OmniWatch's key functionality around Capita’s changing needs for a modern, technology based environmental monitoring solution in our data centres. Having Spook monitoring our machine rooms and infrastructure is a key component in managing our sites. By developing functionality around actual end user requests means Spook’s service remains fresh, intuitive and most importantly, useful.

Pubs and hotels
We have two server rooms in separate parts of Jersey. With Spook we can check the operating environment of both locations easily. As the rooms are located away from the IT department, we rest assured knowing we will be contacted for any key changes that may impact the uptime of our business 24/7 giving us valuable early warnings before they become problems.
Liberation Group
Channel Islands leading pub & restaurant group.
Information services
We originally purchased monitoring hardware and undertook to set it up ourselves. This we achieved, eventually, however it was far more time consuming than we had anticipated. The resource commitment to install these while maintaining other key projects to the business was deceiving, it took a lot longer than originally thought. We use Spook to achieve a joined-up monitoring solution for our Woking and London data centres.
