FORTRUST Releases Real-Time Window Into Colocation Environment
The company’s COLOVIEW technology is designed to take DCIM to a whole new level.
While Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) is standard for data centers industry wide, the ability for customers to easily access full visibility of their data center environment is far from common. FORTRUST’s new COLOVIEW, a proprietary technology developed by Bryon Miller, senior vice president of operations, FORTRUST, allows customers 24-hour real time access to a rare, in-depth view of their colocation environment from a computer, tablet or smartphone.
After logging in, customers can see individual rack and power topology, as well as circuit type and configuration detail. Customers receive real-time data about comprehensive power utilization, delivery aisle temperature, relative humidity, power capacity planning, and then are able to make a real-time or historic trend analysis of their specific colocation environment using whatever parameters they choose. COLOVIEW also makes the customer aware of any alarms, such as circuit capacity alarms and A/B redundant failover alarms that may affect their data center environment.
