ABB has introduced the newest version of its Decathlon data center infrastructure management (DCIM) system. Decathlon Version 2 can integrate with any data center infrastructure and can connect to all leading building management systems (BMS), power/energy management systems, and any other monitoring at the system or device level.

The operator is free to add preferred applications, such as computerized maintenance management system (CMMS) or workorder ticketing systems. Accurate and fine-grained visibility is attained through a unified enterprise view of combined device and system metrics. Operators can right-size resources to business requirements on a broad scale. Power usage effectiveness (PUE) tactics can be employed and measured and energy scaled directly to equipment use. A standardized approach to mapping resilience allows more effective planning and management of disaster response. Graphical representations of a unified alarm system give status at a glance and specific root-cause analysis.
