Data Center Monitoring
one pane of glass, zero surprises.

Unified real-time visibility across power, cooling, environment, and connectivity — so your team acts on issues before they become outages.

The Brief

Uptime depends on seeing everything at once

A data center operator required comprehensive, real-time visibility into their critical infrastructure to guarantee uptime, prevent equipment failures, and optimize energy consumption. With growing infrastructure complexity and increasingly stringent SLA requirements, the operator needed a unified monitoring solution spanning power, cooling, environmental conditions, and connectivity, enabling their team to act on issues before they escalated into outages.

Outage risk Stringent SLAs Rising energy cost
The Solution

Power, cooling, environment and security in one platform

From per-rack energy metering to fire and leak detection — every critical system collected over Modbus, BACnet and SNMP into a single cloud view.

01

Facility-wide IoT sensing

IoT sensors and gateways deployed throughout the data center to monitor PDUs, UPS systems, cooling units (CRAC/CRAH), temperature, humidity, airflow, and critical environmental parameters such as fuel tank status, smoke/fire detection, filter health, and leakage. Integrated energy monitoring per rack enables granular optimization of consumption.

02

Modbus, BACnet & SNMP

Integrated with existing building management systems (BMS) and infrastructure equipment via Modbus, BACnet, and SNMP protocols for unified data collection across all power, cooling, and environmental systems.

03

Single pane of glass

Transmitted all infrastructure data securely to a cloud IoT platform, providing a single pane of glass for monitoring all critical systems, including real-time visibility into utility power quality, DC rectifier performance, generator and UPS readiness, and battery state of health.

04

Real-time alerting

Implemented real-time alerting on the dashboard to surface threshold breaches and fault conditions (e.g., power degradation, cooling loss, filter clog, leakage, or fire/smoke events) as they occur, enabling immediate response.

05

Trending & capacity planning

Delivered dashboards with live status, historical trending, and reporting to support capacity planning, compliance requirements, and ongoing energy optimization across individual racks and the entire facility.

06

Remote diagnostics

Enabled remote diagnostics and troubleshooting to reduce mean time to resolution (MTTR) and minimize the need for on-site interventions, while providing comprehensive visibility into fuel levels, humidity, cooling efficiency, and physical security.

The Dashboard

Every rack, every system, one screen

Live status, historical trending, and instant fault alerts across the whole facility — so operations teams can protect SLAs without walking the floor.

  • Power: PDUs, UPS, rectifiers, generator and battery health
  • Cooling: CRAC/CRAH, temperature, humidity, airflow, filters
  • Safety: smoke and fire detection, leakage, fuel tank status
