Bridging the gap between IoT and Asset Management TL;DR: The explosion of IoT (projected at 50 billion connected devices) is forcing data centers to evolve

Bridging the gap between IoT and Asset Management Executive Summary The shift to distributed IoT architecture requires a new smart data center infrastructure management (DCIM)

Executive Summary Standard protocols like Modbus, SNMP, and BACnet solve the communication problem between DCIM and devices — but they do not solve the data

Executive Summary Data center infrastructure management (DCIM) has become a foundational requirement for facilities that need to operate efficiently, reliably, and sustainably. DCIM systems deliver

In the Spotlight: Strengthening Product Development of DCIM Through Customer Collaboration Executive Summary Effective DCIM software must evolve continuously with the needs of the data

Executive Summary Hardware alarms are limited to individual device thresholds — they cannot see the bigger picture of your infrastructure. DCIM software alarms solve this

Executive Summary January 8, 2026 — Edge-first data collection normalizes and time-stamps at the source, preventing single points of failure and stale data while scaling

Executive Summary In today’s increasingly diverse and complex IT environments, simply monitoring your infrastructure is no longer enough. To optimize performance and reduce risk, you

Executive Summary Multi-vendor power telemetry creates visibility gaps that hide stranded capacity and raise outage risk. Power State Normalization — vendor-agnostic collection, edge normalization, and

A powerful DCIM solution uses normalization to present a unified view of the power state of your assets, removing the need to process or interpret state and enabling you to focus on your job – managing your power distribution.
