ENTERPRISE VERTICAL ARCHITECTURE

Data Centers & Colocation

Multi-tenant colocation automation, rack-level hardware lifecycle management, DCIM integration, power and cooling telemetry, and tenant self-service provisioning.

Data center operations stack

From power-strip telemetry to tenant SLA dashboards — one operations plane.

Document management (DMS)
Rack-layout diagrams versioned per change ticketCustomer contracts and SLA schedulesHardware warranty and support-entitlement archivesCompliance audit packages (SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI)Capacity planning models and cabinet reservation records
Hardware & storage

DCIM integration & power efficiency

Visibility from the rack to the building management system.

  • ✓DCIM connectors: Sunbird, Nlyte, Schneider EcoStruxure, Vertiv
  • ✓PUE trending with automated cooling setpoint recommendations
  • ✓Stranded-capacity detection: idle VMs consuming power quotas
  • ✓Carbon intensity overlay for Scope 2 reporting
  • ✓Automated capacity runway forecasting with 90-day horizon

Primary Economic Drivers
  • $Tenant self-service VM provisioning can reduce NOC provisioning tickets and free operations staff from repetitive manual work.
  • $Stranded-capacity detection can recover allocated-but-unused compute, reducing power and cooling overhead.
  • $Automated PUE optimization with cooling set-point recommendations can lower energy spend, which matters most at large facilities.
  • $Integrated SOC 2 and ISO 27001 evidence collection can reduce annual compliance audit effort.
