Modius Launches New, Low-Cost OpenData Essentials Offerings

Modius recently released OpenData Essentials Edition, new ‘starter kit’ packages that help data center operators optimize energy efficiency, power management, and environmental monitoring targets.

OpenData Essentials come in three solution packages:

  • Essentials for Environmental Monitoring
  • Essentials for Power Chain Measurement
  • Essentials for Energy Efficiency Measurement

Dr. Jay’s Blog Post: Available Redundant Capacity

One of the key power usage metrics that our customers often request is Available Redundant Capacity (ARC). This metric is the amount of IT load that can be added to a data center system as a whole without sacrificing redundancy. Learn more about calculating the ARC metric from Modius’ Jay Hartley, Director of Professional Services:
