ABB’s Decathlon Version 3 DCIM system is designed to integrate with third-party solutions.
ABB has released Version 3 of its Decathlon data center infrastructure management (DCIM) system, which allows “both sides” of the data center (i.e., facilities and IT professionals) to use their preferred tools while enabling deeper collaboration among staff for maximum reliability, energy efficiency and optimal utilization of all data center assets. This latest version allows customers to keep all data completely on premise or to work in the cloud.
The newest version of Decathlon removes the barriers between facility and IT disciplines by making it possible to work from a single data set and a single operational environment, independent of the selected tool or application module. Facility managers can view, at a glance, the power availability at each component in the critical power path to determine the status of all breakers, including switchgear and distribution, UPS, transformers and PDUs — at multiple sites. With a click of the mouse, power quality events can be analyzed to determine if harmonic distortion can disrupt power distribution. This visibility helps users understand which equipment is being affected by the distortion and decide whether further action is required.
