Modius PUE Dashboard

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) May 02, 2012

Modius Inc., the leading provider of real-time monitoring solutions for data center mission-critical infrastructure, today announced enhancements to its OpenData product line with the launch of OpenData® v3.7.

OpenData v3.7 introduces several important features, including:

    High Availability Configuration Options – Modius has developed 4 new configuration options to insure high availability and redundancy for installations of its OpenData platform. These options provide 100% fail-over protection for OpenData’s database, application and data collection architecture.
    Chart and Graphical Analytics – Modius has added a new, robust reporting feature that allows users to easily assess variations in performance data over a fully customizable time period. These easy to read, interactive reports provide instant statistical analysis across individual or groups of devices in the data center.
    Active Directory User Management – OpenData v3.7 now allows for its users to be authenticated against the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server to insure that access and permissions are consistently applied.
    SAP Crystal (Xcelsius) Dashboard Integration – Based on recent customer field work, Modius has developed a new integration that provides the ability to embed SAP Crystal (Xcelsius) dashboards and reports directly into OpenData. This new feature allows SAP Crystal users to access their existing reports and dashboards without leaving the OpenData application.
    Extended Browser Support – OpenData v3.7 now supports Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) versions 8 and 9 as well as Mozilla Firefox versions 4, 5 and 6.

“As more and more data centers adopt DCIM solutions to manage their assets and infrastructure, the importance of application uptime and data integrity becomes a critical factor for selecting the right product from the right vendor,” said Craig Compiano, CEO of Modius. “Modius’ ability to offer the customer enterprise-class options for high availability and redundancy across the OpenData architecture insures that decisions derived from this critical application are timely and accurate.”

From a single console, Modius’ OpenData platform displays in real-time comprehensive power and environmental intelligence from a distributed network of facilities – including data centers, server closets, call centers and mechanical yards. Using these metrics, data center leaders have the ability to anticipate and plan for numerous data center events that will enable them to reduce data center energy consumption. The system can be installed either locally within the enterprise network or remotely with the database and server application hosted in a cloud-based configuration for easier service management.

Modius is now offering a free trial of OpenData v3.7 to companies that are interested in exploring the benefits of their enterprise-class DCIM solution. For more information on participating in this free trial, please visit our website at http://www.modius.com.

iTRACS and BJumper introduce “the smart data center” in Europe

BJumper and iTRACS are working with partners like Intel and CA Technologies to create new opportunities to drive energy consumption out of the operation

Chicago, Illinois (PRWEB) March 08, 2012

iTRACS Corporation, Inc., the leading provider of enterprise-class Data Center Infrastructure Management solutions that drive efficiency and business value in the data center, and BJumper Solutions, a technology leader specializing in energy efficiency and data center operations, recently introduced strategies for building “the smart data center” to an exclusive gathering of European data center owners and operators. More than 40 senior executives attended the February 28, 2012 Smart Technologies forum and customer roundtable held in BJumper’s Madrid corporate headquarters. BJumper is a world-class systems integrator providing specialized design, engineering, and implementation services for data center technologies including the iTRACS Converged Physical Infrastructure Management™ (CPIM™) software portfolio.

“The smart data center combines the best of both worlds from iTRACS and BJumper to facilitate the shift from IT-centric infrastructure to business services-centric infrastructure,” said Elizabeth Given, President and CEO of iTRACS. “Today’s data centers are transitioning to a services-centric model that leverages composite services to meet the needs of the business, rather than the older IT-centric model that requires specific physical assets to provide specific solutions. Managing this transition efficiently requires automated DCIM workflows, Interactive 3D Visualization with a real-time 3D model of the data center, and a host of relational intelligence and operational tools. BJumper’s expertise in unleashing the full potential of iTRACS CPIM™ is putting intelligent decision-making – the ability to use robust, context-rich information to drive efficiency – at the fingertips of Europe’s data center owners and operators.”

“The smart data center is about the sharing of key information across IT, Facilities, and Building Management Systems using a single point of management that everyone can easily understand and use, along with decision-support tools to drive successful business outcomes,” said Jose Barbero, General Manager of BJumper. “iTRACS sits at the center of this environment, providing a rich understanding of the data center and all of its complex interrelationships. Our vision of the smart data center was well received by attendees at our event. It was illuminating to talk candidly with some of Europe’s top IT executives about their challenges and how the BJumper and iTRACS partnership can help solve them.”

BJumper’s Smart Technologies forum also featured presentations by two other iTRACS partners, Intel and CA Technologies, whose expertise in energy efficiency and sustainability are broadening the reach and impact of the smart data center. “Energy efficiency is key to cost containment and the efficient use of physical resources,” said Mr. Barbero. “BJumper and iTRACS are working with partners like Intel and CA Technologies to create new opportunities to drive energy consumption out of the operation – opportunities that were previously unachievable.”

The integrated solution enables data center managers and facility managers to improve visibility and control of the environment within the data center.

The combined solution provides users with multiple views of the data center, including status, rack utilization, average and maximum temperature, and average and maximum rack power. This information can be viewed in even greater detail at the rack level, where the user can also view temperature and power utilization at the device level.

“The RF Code wire-free technology and RaMP provide a seamless solution for data center managers to monitor and manage environmental conditions,” said Dave Cole, President of No Limits Software. “It was a natural fit because of the openness and flexibility of both products. We look forward to working with RF Code on other asset and real-time monitoring initiatives.”

It’s a scenario in which everyone involved wins.”

The RaMP DCIM solution provides the following benefits:

Auto-discovery of detailed device information
Power and environmental monitoring down to the device level
Server monitoring to identify servers which should be retired, virtualized or consolidated
Software and operating system license management
Automated change control to reduce MTTR and increase availability
Web services API provides integration with other systems
PUE, DCiE and CADE energy management calculations
More accurate capacity planning data helps to reduce stranded power and shutdown risks
Device type roll-up views provide an easy way to quickly compare device performance
Enhanced rack views (device type, status, power usage, front and rear temperature
Track data center tasks
Calculation of power usage at the rack PDU level without requiring an intelligent rack PDU
Enhanced visual data center editor makes it easy to design and edit the data center layout

RF Code’s active RFID-based wire-free environmental monitoring technology provides information about temperature, humidity, leak detection, dry contact and door status. This gives customers the real-time information they need to better manage the environmental factors that influence data center assets, including power and cooling.
