Infrastructure Management for Data Centers
Data centers today face unprecedented complexity, with a mix of legacy and modern systems, increasing demands for uptime, efficiency, compliance and the need to support digital transformation initiatives.
Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) is essential because it provides real-time visibility into the performance of critical infrastructure components such as power, cooling, environmental systems, and IT assets. By unifying operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT) into a single, integrated platform, DCIM empowers cross-functional teams to share data, make faster decisions, and gain a comprehensive understanding of the operational landscape. This unified approach is crucial for eliminating risks, improving operational efficiency, reducing costs, and ensuring regulatory compliance. DCIM also enables predictive analytics, capacity planning, and proactive management, all of which are vital for maintaining uptime and supporting the scalability required by modern data centers.
Modius® OpenData® stands out as the right choice for Data Centers due to its unique ability to deliver a real-time, unified view of infrastructure across both legacy and new systems. Unlike many IT-centric solutions, OpenData is purpose-built for the realities of facilities and operations teams, ensuring faster deployment, deeper integrations, and user-friendly tools that make daily operations easier. The platform is highly scalable, supporting organizations with one site or hundreds, and is adaptable to a wide range of industries, including data centers, telecom, healthcare, and financial services. With advanced features such as predictive analytics, digital twins, and 3D visualization, OpenData not only supports but accelerates digital transformation.
