OpenData Software by Modius reduces OpEx and Risk for Data Centers
TL;DR: GoGrid, described at the time as the world’s largest pure-play cloud infrastructure provider, relied on Modius OpenData to manage its global data center operations. The company’s VP of Operations cited OpenData as essential for making rapid and effective facility management decisions, with anticipated operational savings of 10-15% through reduced OpEx and risk.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much can DCIM software save in operational costs?
Real-world deployments have shown potential operational savings of 10-15% through improved facility management decisions enabled by DCIM. Savings come from optimized power usage, better capacity planning, reduced risk of unplanned outages, and more efficient resource allocation across data center operations.
Why do global cloud providers need DCIM?
Global cloud infrastructure providers operate data centers across multiple geographic locations, requiring unified visibility into facility performance, power efficiency, and capacity utilization. DCIM platforms like Modius OpenData provide the consolidated operational intelligence needed for rapid, data-driven management decisions at scale.
What is Real-time Operational Intelligence in DCIM?
Real-time Operational Intelligence (RtOI) is the continuous collection, analysis, and presentation of live data center infrastructure data to enable immediate, informed management decisions. Unlike periodic reporting, RtOI provides operators with up-to-the-moment visibility into power, cooling, and environmental conditions.
How does DCIM reduce data center risk?
DCIM reduces risk by providing continuous monitoring with automated alerts for threshold violations, predictive analytics to identify potential failures before they occur, and comprehensive visibility into power chain redundancy and cooling capacity across all facilities.
