Minkels developed the data centre management system in cooperation with the University of Antwerp and leading customers. The monitoring system comprises all the Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s) required to manage the entire infrastructure of a data centre environment cost-effectively and energy efficient. The system accesses all the real-time data required from the various types of infrastructural equipment in a data centre, including PDUs, chillers, CRAC units, UPSs, coolers, cameras and fire detectors.
Thanks to the open source nature of the platform, it readily enables the integration of existing management software – such as an access control system, a Network Management System (NMS) and a Building Management System (BMS)- in Varicontrol DCIM.
