Electrical Power Monitoring System (EPMS) software for enterprise and colocation data centers, part of our Brightlayer Data Centers suite, helps facility managers maximize data center uptime, quickly resolve and identify the root-cause of unexpected issues, and understand the facility’s use of water, air, gas, electricity and steam (WAGES) to reduce consumption or change usage patterns.
EPMS software can be combined with our Data Center Performance Management and Distributed IT Performance Management software in a single, native application that scales as your needs change. This enables you to work with the same, normalized superset of data, allowing for rapid end-to-end visibility, analysis, planning and communication.
Dashboards and reports, and IT automations provided by EPMS software will give you the visibility and control you need to prevent outages.
