Why Modius OpenData Defines Smart Digital Infrastructure
This was overheard last week from a seasoned data center veteran: DCIM largely failed to live up to its past promises… What do you think? Another over-hyped hype cycle? The technologies of modern, “smart” infrastructure management weren’t available a decade ago — or were rare and unaffordable –or seen as unnecessary — or certainly not in the sense of seconds of real-time immediacy. As a result, adopters of DCIM a decade ago — often themselves without a clear understanding of the business problems they wished to solve –- dove head-first into a “boiling-the-ocean” approach. First, the term Internet of Things (IoT), coined in 1999, hadn’t yet been extrapolated to include DCIM. […]
Why You Need Data Center Infrastructure Management
Over the last few years, the data center infrastructure management (DCIM) phenomenon has soared. With many companies recognizing the low costs, reduced time, and high reliability of integrated systems, DCIM has become a key tool for keeping facilities running smoothly.

What is a Colocation Data Center?
Data Center Colocation (also known as “colo”) is a service that allows enterprise customers to rent space in which to keep their servers and other IT gear required for everyday operations. The service providers share secure areas in cool, controlled environments that are perfect for servers while guaranteeing that bandwidth requirements are satisfied. In addition, the data center will provide service levels that ensure a specific level of uptime. What is Colo? Colocation covers several features associated with this type of data center. The phrase first refers to the ‘colocation’ of servers and other equipment from many firms in a single data center. In many cases, a business often owns […]
What is Data Center Management?
An organization’s set of responsibilities and operations for managing a data center is referred to as data center management. Data centers are highly complex, with numerous moving pieces that must all operate together to serve the business and its customers. In addition, many different technical and non-technical disciplines are required for the data center to work optimally. Data center operations managers can use DCIM software to identify quickly, locate, visualize, and manage all physical data center assets, provision new equipment, and confidently plan capacity for future growth. DCIM tools can also aid in the control of energy costs, the improvement of data center design, and the increase of operational efficiency. Implementing a […]
CoLo Client Portal Management-the Icing on the DCIM Cake
One of the top challenges for data centers providing colocation services is providing clients with a full-featured view of their installation footprint. This is a multi-layer challenge that can put a colocation contract at risk. It is now a mandatory requirement by large colocation clients and hyperscalers to provide data transparency for infrastructure equipment and their own equipment within the data center. All while keeping the highest level of security around client gear and data. This requirement has become a core aspect of delivering world-class colocation facilities, and the DCIM solution for the CoLo operator must enable this capability. The colocation client is driven by the need to see their […]
The Importance of Scalability in a DCIM (Data Centre Infrastructure Management) Solution
Introduction Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) is a software solution that supplies real-time information about the physical infrastructure of a data center, including power, cooling, and space utilization. A DCIM solution can help data center operators make informed decisions about capacity planning, energy efficiency, and asset management. As the size and complexity of data centers continue to grow, scalability has become an increasingly important consideration when evaluating DCIM solutions. Why Scalability Matters in DCIM Scalability is the ability of a system to handle increasing amounts of data or workload without sacrificing performance. In the context of DCIM, scalability is critical for several reasons: Accommodating Growth: As data centers grow, the […]
The Role of Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) Software in Running a More Profitable Data Center
Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) solutions provide data center managers with real-time information and visibility into the performance of their data center infrastructure. DCIM can have a significant impact on data center profitability in several ways. Improved Efficiency: DCIM software provides insights into the utilization of data center resources such as power, cooling, and floor space. This information enables data center managers to optimize their resources by identifying areas where there is underutilization or overspending. With this optimization, data center managers can reduce energy consumption and waste, lowering operational costs and improving profitability. Increased Capacity: DCIM software helps data center managers plan for future capacity requirements by providing visibility into […]

DCIM & BMS – Yes, They Can DO More Than Co-exist!
We are often asked about the integration, overlap and/or compatibility between DCIM (Data Center Infrastructure Management) and BMS (Building Management Systems). This is one of our favorite subjects, with a few insights that may surprise you. At a high level, DCIM and BMS must work together to optimize the operation of a data center and improve its overall efficiency. A BMS controls and monitors the building’s mechanical systems, including HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning), lighting, life safety, and some power distribution components. It ensures these systems operate efficiently and safely while providing insights into energy usage and other key metrics. The BMS generally does not provide easy ad hoc […]
