Does your data center provider have the ability to measure and bill based on your actual resource consumption?

The IO.OS goes far beyond monitoring and reporting of data center assets.

What’s needed is software that unifies all of the layers in a data centre – what we call a DCOS.

I considered containers with racks inside as being “modular”. Working with IO.Anywhere® and training others on the IO.OS® software changed all that.

Business Intelligence (BI), or the process of taking raw data and producing meaningful information, has been applied to many areas of business to increase efficiencies, anticipate failures, and model “what if” scenarios. The data center has been slow to adopt this technology but no other area of technology needs it more.

Compounding is not just for banks. It applies to energy savings in your data center as well.

The era of brilliant machines is upon us. Across many industries, we see the convergence of industrial systems and advanced computing, analytics, and low cost sensing devices all working together to assist in making accurate, cost saving or, in some cases, life-saving decisions. We have barely scratched the surface of what technology can do when real time data is combined with sophisticated and actionable analytics.
