How we are partnering with Dell and Intel to simplify IoT monitoring
IoT Solution Bundles with Dell and Intel Today at VM world 2018 Dell announced a new program aimed at simplifying the complexity in extracting value from IoT solutions with their new “IoT connected bundles” program. As Dell mentions “The IoT Connected Bundles are a vital part of our commitment to investing in IoT”, “Dell Technologies has identified several partners demonstrating strong use case focus and clear return on investment to create the new Dell Technologies IoT Connected Bundles.” Dell goes on to say “Our mission is to deliver IoT solutions that are purpose-built, approachable, and interoperable and stand the test of time”. Modius is proud to have been selected as an inaugural member […]
モディウス社、IoT導入の複雑性とリスクを軽減するためにインテル社と協業
Modius Joins the Intel Market Ready Solution Program (IMRS) Written by Sean Gately Commercial Infrastructure Monitoring has evolved over the past decade as the Internet of Things (IoT) has become a reality. As much of a buzzword that IoT is, it certainly carries the weight of a technology revolution and is initiating massive changes in the way companies deploy and manage their network-based assets. We talk a lot about “edge” and “smart” networked equipment as part of the overall digital transformation that corporate networks and equipment have undergone in the last few years, but rarely speak about why this evolution is important or how best to implement changes to future-proof […]
The Real-time Operational Intelligence Continuum Craig Compiano, President, Modius
“How can I manage my infrastructure?” We hear it all the time, from the C-Suite to business unit managers to the people that monitor systems. Servers, clouds, remote boxes, and mobile devices are complicated enough. Mix in a huge range of disparate legacy software and you’ve got a thorny problem. Today, everywhere you read, AI is the solution to the problem. The reality is more nuanced. You don’t flip a switch to turn AI on in your organization. Leveraging the value of your data is not a binary decision. It is a process. The Real-time Operational Intelligence Continuum is that journey. It employs data, reporting, analytics, and AI to improve […]
Network Infrastructure Management: Why network operators need complete visibility into asset performance at the network edge.
The future is built on connectivity and connectivity is built on millions of individual edge locations: cell sites, data centers, mini data centers and specialized networks monitoring public and private infrastructure. These locations are connecting billions of edge devices, from cell phones to smart cameras to the autonomous vehicle ecosystem to sensors in just about everything. [download our new whitepaper for the complete story and insights about Network Infrastructure Management] The reliability of the infrastructure is the cornerstone of the connected future. And while there are very well-developed approaches to managing the IT performance of the network infrastructure, monitoring and managing the physical infrastructure is inconsistent. Cell sites are vulnerable […]
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. […]
Normalizing Normalization
The world is an imperfect place, but it’s a fact of life for those of us managing critical infrastructure. When you combine that problem with the tsunami of disparate data sources involved in monitoring that infrastructure; the situation does not get easier. The world of choices by vendors and coders results in masking the use of intended standards. Remote monitoring of data center systems is your eyes and ears, and no matter how ready you are to respond, things go quickly awry if you miss a critical event or state. Poor handling of normalization can be your weakest link. Most DCIM solutions struggle with this. To achieve steadfast, reliable monitoring, […]
Made It Myself
Standardized protocols are a lifesaver. Without them, hundreds of vendors would tackle device communication in hundreds of different ways, convinced their way is “the best way.” Fortunately, Modbus, SNMP, BACnet, and other protocols have become industry standards, and broad support has forced vendors to achieve some level of compliance. This is a massive win for the customer – you know you can retrieve data from most devices with one of these protocols. Sure, there are a few outliers – but they are typically legacy hardware that can be addressed through various workarounds. But protocols are only part of the solution. Once you can communicate with a device, you need a […]
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. How does DCIM operate and what are its broader effects on facility operations? If you want to learn more about this, read on as we discuss why you need DCIM. Reduces Costs Information from data center infrastructure management systems allows managers to be one step ahead of problems by uncovering issues before they even realize they exist. DCIM can also provide insights into what is needed to fix the problem. […]
