A Closer Look at OpenData Standard Edition

In December of 2010 Modius unveiled a new OpenData product called Standard Edition, which offers unified monitoring and alarm management for critical data center infrastructure equipment at very low cost to all corporations.

Due to strong customer interest, we have now put together a Standard Edition Information Pack with the following documents:

  • The OpenData Standard Brief
  • The Data Center Monitoring eGuide, and
  • Modius OpenData Editions Comparison Matrix

Standard Edition is unique in several ways:

  • Downloadable from our website (as VMware ESX package)
  • Low-cost and easy to install
  • Handles as much networked equipment as you can monitor from a single location
  • Provides both alarm and notification services
  • Easily upgrade to Enterprise Edition as your needs change

The Modius OpenData Standard Edition Information Kit is downloadable Here.

STARLINE and Modius Form a Logical Parntership

Modius is pleased to announce a new partnership with STARLINE, a flagship product of Universal Electric Corporation. The company’s award-winning STARLINE systems are the only fully flexible products available that allow access to power anywhere. Just like Modius OpenData’s monitoring and management software, it has been designed to be easy-to-install, flexible and intuitive, meeting the changing electrical power needs of any business.

The integration between the two systems allows advanced power usage data from the STARLINE power meters to be easily captured and recorded on a continuous basis by the Modius OpenData system. The STARLINE meters at each service feed can report the data either as SNMP and/or ModBus RTU for Modius OpenData to then easily use to provide detailed power consumption statistics at varying levels, including: room-, zone-, row- or rack-level.

For additional information on the partnership please reference the press release. If you would like to learn more about the how Modius and STARLINE can help you distribute, monitor and manage power throughout your data center, please reach out to Modius via email or by calling +1.888.323.0066.
