(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Data center monitoring solutions provider Modius (www.modius.com) announced on Wednesday it is partnering with Nimsoft (www.nimsoft.com) where it will integrate its OpenData Facilities Monitoring Solution with the Nimsoft Monitoring Solution.
The announcement comes just a day after Nimsoft revealed that cloud solutions provider GreenQloud will use the Nimsoft Monitoring Solution as part of its Truly Green infrastructure as a service offering, GreenQloud.
This intergration will unify the monitoring of IT infrastructure and facilities, providing enterprise and MSP customers with shared visibility into their IT infrastructures and their power and cooling equipment.
By unifying power and cooling data from Modius with on-board server instrumentation data collected by Nimsoft, data center operators will be able to view unified performance metrics for every rack and zone across the data center.
This unified view will enable closer collaboration and planning between IT and facilities management teams, which is essential for expanding compute capacity, managing increasingly dynamic IT work loads, and reducing power costs with improved energy efficiency.
Modius has also joined the Nimsoft Unified Monitoring Alliance as a solution partner.
“Nimsoft is dedicated to providing customers with the most complete management solution set for improving IT service levels while driving down costs and ensuring adaptability to constantly changing business requirements,” says Gary Read, Nimsoft CEO. “The addition of Modius to the Nimsoft Unified Monitoring Alliance helps us fulfill this objective by adding facilities management capabilities to our already extensive portfolio of partner solutions.”
Customers will be able to access a real-time data feed to all power and cooling equipment in the data center via the Nimsoft Monitoring Solution, which collects data from electrical units and produces a range of Green Grid Metrics.
Data center operators can use the data to estimate the energy efficiency of their data centers, as well as compare the results against other data centers to determine what improvements or modifications they should make.
