REAL-WORLD APPLICATION

Integrate BMS and EPMS into a single platform

Streamline your data center management by combining your BMS and EPMS into a single, integrated platform. The result? Unified control, deeper insights on dependencies and patterns, better resource efficiency - and a simpler way to improve efficiency, energy use, and resilience.

Challenge

Running a data center means managing a complex environment where different disciplines like power, cooling, safety or IT performance are tightly interconnected. When those systems live on separate platforms, operators lose time switching between interfaces and risk missing critical correlations. Integrated management changes that.

Solution

The Building Management System (BMS) monitors and controls mechanical infrastructure like lighting, security, fire safety, plumbing and water systems or heating and ventilation systems. For example, it regulates temperature levels to maintain a stable environment for IT equipment to perform at its best.

Unify control across your data center

With a single-pane-of-glass solution for data center BMS and EPMS, you can better eliminate blind spots, speed up fault response and empower your team to manage infrastructure holistically. Support compliance with standards like ISO 50001, SS564 and Green Mark by continuously monitoring and improving performance across mechanical and electrical systems.

Simplified view and control

Adopting a single platform for monitoring and reporting removes the need for data center management software (DCIM). Easily view how power consumption impacts cooling needs, allowing proactive adjustments to optimize efficiency.

Streamlined operations

Eliminate switching between systems to minimize errors caused by referencing inconsistent data from multiple sources. Integration reduces training requirements, leads to faster resolution times and simplifies troubleshooting.

Reduced costs

The initial investment for an integrated system can be lower than the alternative and may reduce hardware and software licensing costs. Streamlined operations and improved efficiency can lead to further OPEX reductions, as well.

Enhanced analytics and reporting

Unlock deeper operational insights by unifying your BMS and EPMS into one cohesive data stream. Cross-system analytics identify hidden patterns between mechanical and electrical performance to maximize data center efficiency.

User-friendly maintenance

Consolidate your operations into a single platform to streamline workflows and reduce the complexity of managing siloed systems.
