Single Tenant Data Center

Veterans of data center operations tell us that having visibility and decision support to gain better control over the critical infrastructure throughout their entire facility is the key to maximizing data center efficiency.

Achieving this requisite visibility is not a trivial task. It involves overcoming interoperability hurdles of monitoring all of the various critical systems on the extended power and cooling chain—such as generators, chillers, water pumps, air exchangers, PDUs, power strips, servers, and more.

On top of that, making sense of the various alarm schemas—which are so vital to maintaining the exacting standards of data center performance—can be more of a headache than the alarm system is worth.  They typically don’t factor input from the full gamut of facility and IT equipment into their respective alarm thresholds. Consequently, spurious alerts from disparate alarm systems trip over themselves and conceal the true state of the data center.

Making Sense of the Chaos in the Data Center

If your work is impeded by spurious alarms, or if you find yourself ignoring low-level alarms because they’re out of context from your data center priorities, or if you cringe at the thought of the time and cost involved in deploying a monitoring and alarm management solution across your entire data center, then Modius can help.

Modius offers OpenData Standard Edition, a monitoring and analytics solution with “unified” alarm management for all power and cooling equipment, including IT racks. At only $1,995 per user per year, it is the only solution in the industry offered at a very low cost and distributed as a downloadable, easy-to-install software package. This low-cost offering reduces the risk of “locking in” to a solution without first having it thoroughly tested in your environment, on your own terms.

OpenData interoperates with nearly all network equipment through its support of the essential communications protocols, including SNMP, Modbus and BACnet. It collects and stores performance data, normalizes it, then transforms the data into simplified, operational intelligence you can use. This means you don’t have to kludge together various point solutions, or contend with different data formats or increments that add complexity to data center management. And, because of OpenData’s unified approach to monitoring and alarm capabilities, you can manage your data center as a complete ecosystem--rather than isolated islands of equipment—and get insight to the true state of your data center.
