New data centre infrastructure management (DCIM) software,
CyberHub ECO.DC, has been launched
to help data centre operators identify potential savings, optimise
performance and minimise operational risk by safeguarding reliability. Data
centres are becoming increasingly complex and the 3D software offers high
levels of transparency and visibility, allowing operators to monitor and
manage their assets efficiently, while maximising uptime.

Launched by Digitronic Software, a joint venture between Stulz
and Digitronic Automationsanlagen
(a company specialising in software
development and control systems), CyberHub ECO.DC enables 3D visualisation
to assist with planning and optimisation of room layout, as well as mapping
of temperature profiles - essential for effective thermal management,
protection of critical IT infrastructure and enhancing energy efficiency.
Fully understanding the effects of room layout on air flow, when making
changes or during capacity expansion, for example, gives operators the
confidence they need that cooling performance is assured.

Other critical features include alarm management, with integrated escalation
management, and individual status reports. Monitoring and managing critical
equipment is vital for ensuring business continuity and a wide range of data
can be collected via an easy-to-use operator interface - from air
conditioning systems, temperature and pressure sensors, UPS systems and
PDUs. Rapid access to crucial information enables operators to be responsive
to events and avert potential problems before they become an issue - helping
to avoid risk of outages, which can result in substantial financial loss and
reputational damage.

CyberHub ECO.DC provides an invaluable tool to simplify the day-to-day tasks
of data centre managers, facility managers and air conditioning specialists,
and is therefore designed to be user-friendly and intuitive. The software is
extremely simple to implement and has a clearly set out interface. This
means users can install and set up CyberHub ECO.DC on their own in just a
few hours. Help with implementation and planning is also available, if
needed, from an expert team of engineers from Stulz Digitronic Software.

CyberHub ECO.DC is available in a fully autonomous local server (VM
compatible) version, or as a globally available SaaS (Software as a Service)
from the cloud. The online solution is hosted in Germany and therefore
offers users the security that it conforms to strict data protection
regulations. Communication between the base server and the customer
interface is encrypted for additional protection. Moreover, the DCIM
solution satisfies all the requirements for certification to DIN 50001.

The software has built-in compatibility with a range of protocols that are
common in the data centre sector, as well as building management systems
(BMS) - such as Modbus, M-Bus and SNMP. Existing systems can be easily
linked to CyberHub ECO.DC via an interface.

Ultimately, the new CyberHub ECO.DC software will provide users with a
holistic view of their data centre’s performance so that energy, equipment
and floor space are used as efficiently as possible - crucial in managing
operating expenditure (opex) and operational reliability.
