Go beyond traditional data center infrastructure management
Effectively managing a data center requires more than just managing, monitoring and controlling your power, space and cooling resources. You need meaningful insights so you can make impactful decisions that will keep your operations running while enabling you to manage its performance like never before.
Data Center Performance Management (DCPM) software, part of our Brightlayer Data Centers suite, helps enterprise, colocation (colo), hyperscale and edge data centers improve operational efficiencies and maximize valuable space, power and cooling resources.
Data Center Performance Management software can be combined with our Electrical Power Monitoring System (EPMS) software to create a scalable, native application that manages, monitors and controls your IT and operational technology, while providing near-real-time and historical visibility into your electrical power system.
Dashboards and reports, and IT automations provided by Data Center Performance Management software will give you the visibility and control you need to prevent outages.
Data Center Performance Management software is available in two tiers, Essential and Advanced, so you can pick the feature set that best meets your needs.
