DCIM and Digital Twins – More Than Just Buzzwords
Digital twin is one of the top buzzwords in the industry today. In this blog, we will explore what digital twin really means, how DCIM (Data Center Infrastructure Management) plays a role, and why it’s important.
Structured Data and Machine Learning for Enhanced Data Center Management
What is Structured Data? Data centers produce a wealth of detailed information in their day-to-day operations. Making the best use of this data will help operators run a tight ship. One of the ways data centers can make the best use of this data is by having it in a structured data format. Structured data […]
Getting the Most Reliability from Your Assets with Remote Monitoring
by Max Hamner, Research and Development Engineer Ray Daugherty, Senior Services Consultant As a data center operator, the success of your business model is dependent on your uptime and SLA compliance – which are highly affected by your assets’ reliability and longevity. There is a direct correlation between reliability and your ROI. Power distribution and […]
Critical Aspects of DCIM Security
A DCIM (Data Center Infrastructure Management) solution communicates with your most critical networked assets – including your power distribution gear. Any application installed on your network can potentially impact your cyber security and could introduce new risks – your DCIM solution should help reduce cyber security risk in your infrastructure, not add risk. A 2022 […]
Infrastructure Efficiency Under Pressure
Data Center operators are under ever increasing pressure to optimize their infrastructure efficiency. This pressure now includes not just Power Utilization Efficiency (PUE) and cooling efficiency, but Water Utilization Efficiency (WUE), and even Gas Utilization Efficiency (GUE). A quality DCIM solution provides the key aspects needed to address improvements in efficiency – Data Visibility (monitoring), […]
Cooling Challenges: A Hot Data Center Topic Made “Cooler” with DCIM
Cooling is a hot topic in data centers right now, and it can be challenging. To understand, manage, and optimize your cooling, you need to know where you stand in the overall utilization of cooling resources. Multiple cooling resources can contribute to a pool of capacity. Multiple CRACs, CRAHs, fan walls, and chillers can all […]
Integration, Updates & Device Drivers? Feels like it should be yesterday’s problem.
Using device drivers in DCIM solutions is outdated as modern hardware’s network connectivity and standardized protocols allow monitoring of any device without drivers, giving end-users more control, better monitoring, and more profitable data centers. Modius® OpenData® has been a protocol-based solution since its inception in 2007. Device Drivers Served a Purpose in the Early Phases […]

The Alarm Chatter Challenge
Navigating the complexities of managing a data center, with its myriad devices and alarm definitions, presents the challenge of prioritizing efforts amidst a constant stream of alarm data (aka nuisance alarms). While DCIM products offer support for alarm severity, addressing other aspects of alarm management such as value normalization and noise suppression becomes essential. Leveraging […]
Calculated Points Add Value to your DCIM (Data Center Infrastructure Management) Solution
Efficient data center management confronts hurdles such as missing values from vendor choices and device disparities, while industry standards for network monitoring lack consistency in defining minimum device support values. Traditional alarms tackle first-level issues but fall short in detecting nuanced changes, prompting the need for advanced calculated points treated akin to native device points, […]
