OpenData Product Overview

Watch Demo

Watch our OpenData product demo now to see how you can uncover the true state of your data center--from the grid to the chassis--and get more utilization out of power, cooling and space with OpenData software by Modius.

If you prefer a live demo so that we may address any specific questions you might have, please contact us to schedule a 30-minute teleconference.

Modius OpenData Editions

Get started with the Modius OpenData solution that's right for you:

OpenData Enterprise Edition provides real-time monitoring and decision support that enables unified visibility and better control over the critical systems in your data center, including power, cooling and space. It doesn't matter whether your data centers, server rooms or technology closets are across the campus or across the continent. With OpenData Enterprise Edition you can optimize capacity and increase efficiencies across your entire data center operations enterprise-wide. [More]

OpenData Standard Edition is the basic version of the OpenData platform designed specifically for single-site deployments. The power of Standard Edition is its ability to quickly install a fully-functional monitoring and analytics application that not only allows you set alarm thresholds from any instrumentation point from any device (networked or serial) in your data center, but it also allows you to store that data in a database and then report performance over time.

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 benefit of the 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.

OpenData Architecture

OpenData provides data center managers with a cost-effective, vendor-neutral, and easy-to-integrate solution that collects, normalizes and analyzes data from all of the power, cooling and mechanical equipment, including data from environmental management systems. This means data center operators don't have to kludge together various point solutions, or contend with different data formats or increments that add complexity to data center management.

• Alarm & Event Management - Enables a sensible, unified approach to alarm management by tracking the performance of all monitored, networked infrastructure equipment against a single, configurable threshold policy. Sends alarms via a centralized notification engine.
• Device-level Analytics and Reporting - Provides analytics and reporting capabilities of the data center's operational status, capacity and efficiency at the device- and network-level.
• Rack Analytics & Management - Enables rack-level power and capacity information to identify stranded capacity or problems with redundancy.
• Cooling Analysis & Automation - Track granular cooling performance data and put in place automations that improve efficiency.

Protocols

OpenData interoperates with most network equipment through its support of the essential communications protocols, including SNMP, Modbus, BACnet and wireless. This enables OpenData to capture equipment performance data from all major device categories from any equipment vendor. For equipment not accessible on the network, Modius provides a serial-to-network gateway (i.e., a data collector) to ensure that all equipment in the data center in fully monitored. OpenData also captures data from building and environmental management systems, thus enabling data center managers to leverage legacy systems.
