StarLine + Modius = Best of Both Worlds

By integrating their systems, StarLine and Modius have created a turnkey solution to give data center operators the best of both worlds: A flexible busway power system for StarLine that is easily configurable to the changing needs in the data center, along with continuous power monitoring and measurement from Modius. This interoperability makes it possible to easily integrate Modius OpenData monitoring software to the flexible StarLine Track Busway system, and then track granular power consumption data for enabling improved power optimization and customer chargeback. Now customers can get the granular power monitoring they need to optimize their power systems and report detailed usage statistics.
