Operational Challenge

Demand for reliable power and cooling in today’s data center environment is ever increasing. Cloud, Co-Lo, and Owner-operated data centers all face the challenge of reducing costs while increasing reliability and efficiency. Electrical power distribution systems and related automation systems have become a complex set of PLCs, gateways, switches and protocol converters. Seamless integration of such systems in data center environment requires a great deal of experience and knowledge.

TCI offers solutions that help facilities professionals manage their critical power systems to maintain a reliable 7 x 24 environment. Our team of experts can design and build electrical power monitoring systems with powerful monitoring and analytical capabilities to provide you with the tools you need to meet the challenge of managing your critical facilities.

Alarm Dispatch and Notification

Data center operators require real-time notification of system events for timely response to emergencies. The challenge is “what are the important events?” Our knowledge of system and component level alarms enable us to implement an event notification system that sends critical alarms while filtering out nuisance alarms. TCI can integrate your monitoring system with any number of notification methods to ensure custom notifications for each user need. When a power disturbance occurs, notifications can be sent by email, text message, radio or any combination to dispatch the responders.

Reports and Analytics

Data center owners make substantial investments into sophisticated power and cooling systems with advanced automation tools. It is imperative to use these tools to measure the performance of your critical infrastructure through smart analytics and intuitive reports.

Today's facility managers are expected to report on:

•  Available and used capacity

•  Where and how is it utilized

•  System and component levels alarms

•  Downtime risks

•  KPIs for power and cooling

TCI designs and implements custom reports by utilizing existing monitoring capabilities and service level expectations. TCI uses a number of platforms to deliver reports are automated and accessible via web and email.
