Infrastructure and Data Center Monitoring

High availability of a data center or IT infrastructure is only possible with real-time monitoring:

• The monitoring creates transparency and displays the current and historical status as well as images of measurement data from the IT infrastructure.
• An alarm and notification system can inform support and on-call services of deviations from normal operations.
• A highly available and customized monitoring system can provide you with a quick overview of your infrastructure even in the event of a system failure, significantly reducing the response time for restoring operations.
• An advanced monitoring system, implemented as building management technology/management and control system, also enables remote access for operating the facility, triggering a "reset," or initiating emergency operations.

Monitoring of data centers is also crucial for the area of cyber/IT security and thus requires particularly high standards.

The BSI components, EN50600, ISO27001, as well as the regulatory requirements from the NI2 and KRITIS framework law address these issues. Monitoring with network and IT infrastructure requires special attention as a reliable and integrative tool and should be particularly protected in data centers and critical infrastructures.

Success-Story: KRITIS

Operational data from an infrastructure provide important information about energy and system efficiency and are thus key to identifying optimization potential. From adjusting loads and associated cost reductions to predictive maintenance—i.e., predicting failures based on stochastic models and artificial intelligence—monitoring can efficiently identify these potentials.

Monitoring that can take on the function of energy data collection also creates the necessary conditions for compliance with the Energy Efficiency Act (EnEfG). This allows for the measurement and representation of the PuE value or a comprehensive collection of energy flows/consumption for an energy or environmental management system.

Monitoring tools are essential for high-availability IT and infrastructure operations, as well as for data center operations, because the availability of critical business processes requires a complex interplay of supply infrastructure, IT, and operations. Our consultants, with years of integration experience, support you in planning, designing, and realizing the appropriate system architecture in the areas of IT, networking, and building automation/measurement and control technology, as well as in integrating monitoring into your infrastructure, so that you have a comprehensive overview of your technology.
