Data Center & IT Solutions

All companies must avoid technology infrastructure outages and maintain optimal performance levels. Any interruption to critical processes can be extremely expensive. Compromised performance can result in quality issues and can even increase company overhead. The IT assets supporting core processes are a critical, complex, and potentially vulnerable element of a businesses operation.

Companies need to ensure that they have visibility to all these systems to understand performance and assist with identification of potential and encountered problems. The monitoring system needs to have the flexibility to extend to all critical process components and provide the appropriate suite of tools to understand asset performance.

The PI System provides an integrated platform to monitor and manage operational data for your critical facilities infrastructure. The system compiles Data Center information from IT assets as well as from operational and facilities systems, resulting in an environment that enables real-time reporting and decision-support monitoring.

PI exposes new details about changes in infrastructure status so you can respond immediately to help maintain the best possible service levels enterprise-wide. PI provides a single platform to monitor and analyze IT and Facilities assets including servers, storage and network devices, power management equipment including UPSs and PDUs, HVAC, and physical security equipment.

This proven technology now helps data centers to address challenges such as:

• Fluctuating power quality and power loss in equipment
• Lack of information to correlate IT load and power consumed by IT assets
• Inefficient cooling system operations
• Lack of information to correlate server IT load and cost of power
• Inadequate performance monitoring and condition-based maintenance of equipment
• Difficulty in performing capacity planning in terms of power, cooling and IT resources

The PI System provides data centers with real-time information to help lower energy costs, improve performance and reduce failures and downtime.
