No matter the size of the facility, every data center must remain online around the clock. This requires personnel to regularly monitor the status of critical equipment and the environmental conditions around it, especially when DCIM systems aren’t in place.

Connecting the building automation system and DCIM software can provide increased efficiency of power, cooling, and space by allowing infrastructure to adapt to application behavior.

The COVID-19 pandemic quickly forced companies to rethink how they work. Across almost every industry, and nearly overnight, organizations began to implement remote work policies and retool their IT infrastructure to support distributed teams.

This management tool allows enterprises and service providers to better automate and manage their data centers’ bare metal infrastructure while solving challenges of running new kinds of workloads.

Version 7.1 of the Power IQ Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) software allows users to set and monitor thresholds for single- and three-phase power of infrastructure equipment, such as rack PDU inlets, rack PDU outlet breakers, remote power panels, floor PDUs, and UPSs.

As hybrid digital infrastructures consisting of on-premises and cloud-based systems become more and more common within companies, complexity significantly increases.

As hybrid digital infrastructures consisting of on-premises and cloud-based systems become more and more common within companies, complexity significantly increases. A professional DCIM tool should be able to manage not only the data center itself, but also hybrid digital infrastructures in all their complexity.

With Release 7.1, dcTrack Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) Operations software by Sunbird Software now supports all DC 48-V power chain objects and calculations.

Sunbird Software is offering free subscriptions of its Power IQ DCIM monitoring software to hospitals and health care organizations. Deploying Power IQ will help these organizations ensure nonstop mission critical operations during the COVID-19 pandemic.
