Which power and cooling brands do you integrate?

Common platforms include Schneider Electric (APC), Vertiv (Liebert), Eaton, Rittal, Legrand, Delta, and STULZ — integrated through SNMP, Modbus TCP, BACnet, LON, and native APIs into a unified DCIM view.

How is PUE calculated and validated?

Sub-metered IT load at UPS output is compared with total facility input from the utility meter, aggregated at minute granularity, and averaged to hourly, daily, and monthly PUE. Optional third-party validation aligns with recognised industry standards.

Can DCIM highlight thermal excursions before failure?

Yes. Rack-inlet sensors, trend analysis, and anomaly detection generate early alerts on rising delta-T, drifting set-points, and airflow bypass before hardware protection trips.

How granular is power sub-metering across the estate?

Metering is delivered at utility feed, UPS input and output, static transfer switch, PDU main and outlet level so power chain losses, capacity headroom and Scope 2 attribution are measurable rather than estimated.

How is single-corded and dual-corded risk visualised?

Redundancy dashboards highlight A-side and B-side dependency per cabinet, exposing single-corded devices, correlated breaker risk and orphaned outlets before an unplanned failover becomes a Sev-1 incident.

Can cooling loops for liquid, immersion and rear-door heat exchangers be monitored?

Flow rate, supply and return temperatures, differential pressure, valve position and coolant chemistry are ingested from liquid, immersion and rear-door heat-exchanger vendors under a common data model.

Scope in detail

UPS & Battery Monitoring
Real-time UPS load, runtime, battery health, transfer events, and self-test schedules with alerts on end-of-life batteries and imminent bypass.
Smart PDU Telemetry
Metered PDUs with per-outlet current, voltage, and kilowatt data, phase balancing, and remote outlet switching for controlled reboots and load rebalancing.
CRAC / CRAH & Precision Cooling
Cooling-unit status, supply and return temperatures, fan speed, chilled-water flow, and failover coordination between units within the same room.
Busway & Overhead Distribution
Overhead busway monitoring, tap-off box currents, plug-in unit telemetry, and load balancing for high-density modular white space.
PUE / WUE / CUE Tracking
Real-time and trended Power, Water, and Carbon Usage Effectiveness with sub-metering, facility-overhead attribution, and dashboards for ESG and operations reporting.
Thermal Maps & Hotspot Detection
Rack-inlet and hot / cold aisle heat-maps, CFD overlays, hotspot alerting, and CRAC set-point recommendations to reclaim stranded cooling capacity.
Generator & ATS Monitoring
Genset fuel level, run hours, ATS transfer events, weekly-test scheduling, and load-bank test integration to keep resilience evidence up to date.
Sub-Metering & Chargeback
Per-tenant and per-business-unit sub-metered kilowatt-hour billing, tariff modelling, and chargeback reports for colocation, private cloud, and shared tenancy.

Where facilities break down

Power and cooling data sit in silos
UPS, PDU, and cooling telemetry sit in separate vendor consoles, so facility and IT teams cannot answer capacity or reliability questions from a single view.
PUE and energy reporting are manual
Sub-metered energy data is reconciled monthly in spreadsheets, delaying sustainability reporting and hiding operational improvement opportunities.
Thermal excursions surface as failures
Rising delta-T, drifting set-points, and airflow bypass go unnoticed until hardware protection trips or a service impact is reported.
Chargeback and tenant billing are opaque
Business units and tenants receive fixed allocations rather than measured consumption, undermining accountability and efficiency initiatives.

Engagement approach

Power and cooling visibility engineered around multi-vendor telemetry, sub-metering, and integrated dashboards for facility, IT, and sustainability stakeholders.

Assess
Baseline UPS, PDU, cooling, and metering coverage; map integration protocols, gaps in sub-metering, and current PUE reporting cadence.
Design
Define the unified telemetry model, integration pattern per vendor, threshold set, dashboard structure, and sub-metering scope per stakeholder.
Implement
Deploy the platform, connect UPS, PDU, cooling, and metering feeds, build dashboards, and wire alerting into ITSM and incident alerting tools.
Support
Maintain integrations, tune thresholds, review PUE and capacity trends, and coordinate power and cooling plant lifecycle actions with facility teams.
