OpenData Machine Edition

Modius offers a 'Machine Edition' version of its flagship product, OpenData. Machine Edition is a low-cost version of the software that is specifically designed to handle the monitoring and alarming requirements of a group of devices at single site. The value of Machine Edition is its ability to connect to up to 25 networked or serial devices all from a single instance of the software and then set alarm thresholds and track performance data over time.

Machine Edition installs as a software application onto any Microsoft operating system and can be run natively or within a VM. The application is browser-based and is completely configurable by an Admin user.  An unlimited number of recipents can receive the alarms via email, text or pager. The amount of data collected by Machine Edition is only limited by the amount of memory on the local host.

The package includes:

  • Modius OpenData Machine Edition software application, which includes a complete library of device interface templates that enable automatic data capture from any network-addressable device in the data center, whether power or cooling equipment, environmental sensors, or IT devices.
  • Modius Protocol Translator
  • Microsoft SQL Server Express database (10 GB size limit, which covers approximately 200 devices)

OpenData Machine Edition resides on a management system either in the customer's data center or hosted in the cloud. The software collects and evaluates the signals from each device, then transforms those signals into unified, federated view of real-time performance data and alarms for all networked data center assets from all vendors.
