Success Story:

Enabling Seamless Integration Across Systems in a Critical Facility

Connect a Sea of Silos and Bridge Monitoring with OCEAN Connect.

BACKGROUND

Modern data centres consist of isolated systems like IT servers, cooling equipment, power management, and environmental sensors. This fragmentation creates operational blind spots, slows response times, and obscures system interconnections, leading to reduced efficiency, higher costs, and missed critical alerts.

This issue is even more pronounced for organizations using advanced cooling technologies like Direct Liquid Cooling (DLC). Traditional Building Management Systems (BMS) struggle to integrate with modern IT infrastructure and specialized cooling solutions, forcing operators to use disparate monitoring methods or invest in expensive custom integrations.

A leading facility manager encountered this exact problem.

CHALLENGES

The company struggled with the complexities of managing its rapidly expanding data centre facility. The lack of a unified monitoring platform made it difficult to gain a holistic view of the data centre’s performance. Specifically, it faced these challenges:

Fragmented Visibility

Monitoring systems for IT, cooling, power, and environment operated independently, requiring operators to switch between multiple dashboards.
Fragmented Visibility

Slow Response Times

Identifying and resolving issues was delayed due to the inability to correlate data across systems.

Slow Response Times

Increased Operational Costs

Maintaining multiple monitoring systems and attempting integrations led to spiralling costs.

Risk of Missed Alerts

The lack of integration increased the likelihood of missing critical alerts, potentially leading to downtime and service disruptions.

DLC Integration Challenges

Integrating their new DLC cooling system with existing BMS proved particularly problematic, requiring custom solutions that were expensive and difficult to maintain.

SOLUTION

OCEAN Connect: A Unified View

The company chose OCEAN Connect, part of the OCEAN Intelligence suite, to address its data centre monitoring challenges. OCEAN Connect offers a true "single pane of glass" for the entire data centre environment. This open platform seamlessly integrates all operational technology (OT), IoT devices, and IT systems, regardless of manufacturer or protocol, into a unified dashboard.

For the company’s DLC environment, OCEAN Connect bridged the gap between their new IT servers, specialized cooling equipment, environmental sensors (temperature, humidity, water leakage), and existing BMS. This integration provided more than just convenience; it transformed raw data into actionable intelligence.

BENEFIT

Implementing OCEAN Connect yielded significant results in operational efficiency:

180X More Actionable Data

By unifying previously siloed systems, OCEAN Connect captured and correlated data that would have otherwise remained isolated, providing deeper insights and more comprehensive analytics.

2X Faster Implementation

Unlike traditional integration approaches requiring extensive custom development, OCEAN Connect's open architecture halved implementation time.

40% TCO Reduction

By eliminating the need for multiple monitoring systems and reducing integration complexity, the facility manager achieved dramatic reductions in both initial and ongoing costs.

Future-Proof Infrastructure

The platform's open, real-time, and scalable design ensures compatibility with both existing systems and future technologies, protecting the company’s investment.

A New Era of Data Centre Management

OCEAN Connect empowered the facility manager to overcome the challenges of fragmented data centre monitoring. By providing a unified view of all systems, the solution enabled faster response times, reduced operational costs, and minimized the risk of critical alerts being missed. The platform's future-proof design ensures that its data centre monitoring infrastructure can adapt to evolving technologies and business needs.
