Data Center Design & DCIM
Instrument the facility. Forecast the capacity. Prove the efficiency.
Jiva Technologies assesses, designs, integrates, and supports Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) environments across single and multi-site facilities. The practice covers asset and rack management, power and cooling monitoring, environmental sensors, digital twins, alerting and reporting, capacity planning, and data-centre design and build.
Integrates with existing identity, ITSM, monitoring, and Building Management Systems so facility, IT, and sustainability stakeholders share one operating picture across sites.
Explore the practice
Asset & Inventory Management
One authoritative record for every asset in the facility.
Discover, catalogue, and maintain servers, network, storage, PDUs, cabling, and rack-mount hardware with lifecycle, warranty, ownership, and location detail. Integrated with CMDB, ITSM, procurement, and finance so physical, virtual, and cloud assets stay in a single source of truth for install, audit, and refresh.
- Automated Discovery
- CMDB Alignment
- Warranty & Lifecycle
- Structured Cabling Records
Rack & Capacity Management
Plan deployments against instrumented headroom.
Live rack elevations, U-space, weight, power-per-rack, and port allocation with reservation workflows tied to enterprise ITSM change tickets. Model rack refreshes, HCI, and high-density AI clusters against actual capacity before floor space, power, and cabling are committed.
- Rack Elevations
- U-Space & Weight
- PDU & Port Headroom
Power & Cooling Monitoring
Measure every watt across UPS, PDU, and cooling plant.
Unified telemetry from UPS, smart PDUs, CRAC / CRAH, in-row cooling, busway, generators, and ATS across Schneider, Vertiv, Eaton, Rittal, and multi-vendor estates. Real-time PUE, WUE, thermal maps, phase balancing, and sub-metering for facilities, IT operations, and sustainability reporting.
- UPS & Smart PDU
- CRAC / Busway Telemetry
- PUE / WUE Tracking
Environmental Monitoring
Catch anomalies before they become outages.
Rack-inlet temperature, aisle humidity, water-leak, VESDA smoke, differential pressure, door and rack-access sensors across the white space. ASHRAE-aligned thresholds, containment integrity, and multi-channel alerting integrated with ITSM and incident-response workflows.
- Temperature & Humidity
- Leak & Smoke Detection
- Airflow & Containment
3D Visualization & Digital Twin
See the facility. Simulate the change. Prove the design.
Interactive floor plans, 3D rack elevations, and live digital twins with sensor overlays, cable-path tracing, and airflow simulation. Multi-site geo views, as-built handover packs, and optional AR / VR walkthroughs for remote assistance and design review.
- Floor Plans & 3D Racks
- Digital Twin
- Cable Tracing
Alerts, Analytics & Reporting
Right alert. Right person. Right report.
Threshold, trend, and anomaly alerts routed through incident alerting, chat, and ITSM. Role-based dashboards for facilities, operations, and executive stakeholders with sustainability, audit, and BI outputs feeding Microsoft Power BI, Tableau, and Qlik.
- Threshold & Anomaly Alerts
- Executive Dashboards
- Audit & ESG Packs
Capacity Planning & Forecasting
Plan the next five years on evidence, not opinion.
Trend, scenario, and TCO modelling for growth, consolidation, refresh, high-density AI, and cloud repatriation. Reservation pipelines with automated approval, stranded-capacity recovery, and board-ready three to five year investment roadmaps grounded in live utilisation data.
- Trend & Scenario Modelling
- AI / High-Density Planning
- Cloud vs On-Prem TCO
Data Center Design & Build
Design, build, and commission facilities with DCIM baked in.
Greenfield and brownfield data-centre design aligned to Uptime Institute Tier II, III, and IV, TIA-942, and EN 50600. Containment strategies, precision cooling, resilient power distribution, structured cabling, and commissioning delivered as one design authority with instrumentation from day one.
- Tier II / III / IV
- Containment & Cooling
- Power Distribution
Common facility gaps
- Spreadsheets drift from the real estate
Asset, cabling, and rack records live across Visio, Excel, and tribal knowledge — every audit and install begins with a physical walk-through.
- Stranded power, space, and cooling
Racks look full while PDUs sit half-loaded and cold-aisle capacity goes unused, blocking new deployments the facility could actually support.
- Environmental issues surface too late
The first sign of a thermal or humidity excursion is often a hardware failure, not an alert routed to facilities and IT in time to intervene.
- No unified sustainability or capacity view
PUE, energy cost, capacity headroom, and refresh forecasts sit in separate tools, leaving ESG committees and IT leaders without a shared operating picture.
Delivery approach
A practical Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) lifecycle covering facility assessment, platform architecture, multi-vendor integration, instrumentation, and ongoing operational support.
- 01Assess
Survey the facility, baseline assets, review power and cooling telemetry, sensor coverage, capacity records, and integration surface across DCIM, BMS, ITSM, and monitoring tooling.
- 02Design
Define the target DCIM platform, asset and rack data model, sensor layout, dashboard set, alerting rules, workflow integration, and reporting cadence per stakeholder group.
- 03Implement
Deploy platforms, instrument racks and plant, import and cleanse asset data, build digital twins, integrate ITSM, BMS, and monitoring, and train operations teams.
- 04Support
Tune alerts and thresholds, review capacity and sustainability reports, maintain integrations, update inventory, and support platform lifecycle upgrades and vendor coordination.
End-to-End IT Integration and Support
From assessment and solution design through implementation, remediation, ongoing support, and lifecycle optimization.
Fix What's Broken — Remediation Sprints
Stranded rack capacity, blind spots in power/cooling, stale asset records or DCIM tooling that no-one trusts? We run fixed-scope DCIM remediation sprints to restore data quality and operational visibility.
- Asset inventory reconciliation, rack elevation cleanup and CMDB sync
- Power, cooling and environmental sensor coverage and threshold tuning
- Capacity planning models, alerting hygiene and reporting rebuild
Support & Maintenance — AMC-Backed
Keep DCIM data accurate and the data-centre running efficiently — asset governance, sensor care and vendor escalation under a Jiva AMC.
- L1/L2/L3 DCIM platform support with quarterly data-quality reviews
- Preventive maintenance for power, cooling and environmental sensors
- Capacity, sustainability and utilisation reporting for facilities and IT
