Automated Logic Integrated Data Center Management (IDCM) combines the WebCTRL building automation system with Nlyte Software to provide integrated management of data center infrastructure and IT systems. Designed to reduce costs, improve uptime, and increase operational visibility, IDCM connects critical building systems with IT equipment and applications to support more efficient, resilient, and flexible data center operations.
Data centers depend on the coordinated operation of power, cooling, monitoring, building systems, and IT infrastructure. IDCM integrates these systems to help operators understand how changes in computing workloads affect facility requirements. By connecting infrastructure data with application and workload information, the solution helps organizations improve power and cooling utilization, streamline management, and make more informed operational decisions.
The solution supports end-to-end operations management through power chain mapping, alarming, alerting, and automated workflows for facilities maintenance, power anomalies, and security issues. Mapping power and cooling chains helps operators identify which workloads may be affected by an infrastructure problem, while integrated dashboards and reports provide visibility across IT and facilities operations.
IDCM also supports capacity management by helping allocate IT assets according to available power, cooling capacity, and security policies. Energy optimization capabilities align computing workloads with infrastructure utilization and help predict cooling requirements, supporting more efficient resource management.
Secure integration between WebCTRL and Nlyte Software enables building automation data from equipment such as computer room air conditioning (CRAC) units, chillers, pumps, uninterruptible power supplies (UPSs), and generators to support applicable use cases.
By bringing facility and IT systems together, Automated Logic IDCM helps data center operators improve operational coordination, reduce energy consumption, manage capacity, and support reliable infrastructure performance.
