Modules for DCIM
OpenData® Portal API Module
OpenData® Portal API Module
The Modius OpenData® Portal API Module allows data center managers to securely and directly share data with external solutions like CRMs and CMMCs. Our API meets the latest standards for meeting demanding customer SLAs and ensuring transparency. We integrate with many third-party systems to share data from device status to raw measured values and fully rendered reports. The data manager controls what gets shared and is not dependent on Modius to publish data.
Module Highlights
- Shared Device Support – Multiple clients can share devices and Assets. This allows shared resources, such as a generator, to be easily exposed to multiple customers for complete transparency.
- Provides a method to generate OpenData service tickets through your customer portal to facilitate equipment deployment, service work, and change requests. Ticket access via the API includes ongoing visibility into ticket status as work is completed.
- Provides a method for sharing select DCIM reports and charts with clients via the portal – avoiding the need to rebuild the same report in both systems.
- Transparency for Hyperscalers with minimal impact provides visibility into core device telemetry (raw) data through a standardized interface and format across all vendors and models.
- Greater Security Control – Data is collected through existing secure infrastructure and shared with the customer via OpenData. The API can be deployed via high-volume, highly secure front ends like Microsoft Azure’s API Management Service and AWS.
- Client Identity Mapping for Better Access Control. Client’s Identity can be mapped to OpenData hardware devices and Assets for easy control of device access. This can be managed through an external system, such as a CRM.
- Hierarchical Client Modeling – Clients can be defined in a Hierarchy. This allows devices to be grouped by the customer at the Building Level via one ID, by site via another ID, and by region via another ID. This enables easy support and access control at multiple levels.
- Data Point Level Access Control – Exposure from OpenData within a device can be controlled via an easy-to-use GUI that determines if a given point value is exposed via the API. This allows exposure of points needed for transparency agreements, without clutter from undesired points.
- Analytics Reports via API – Charts and tables are fully rendered in HTML and ready to display in an external solution or in a CRM.
