RF Code today launched CenterScape, a flexible framework of data
center management software tools built on the company’s powerful
Workplace IoT Platform. CenterScape brings together years of
collected best practices and streamlined methodologies with
real-time environmental monitoring and asset management solutions
developed specifically for data centers and distributed IT
environments. This ranges from small server rooms to globally
distributed data centers, colocation sites and edge-based IT
rooms.
Ed Healy, CEO at RF Code, said, “The data center has become the
hub of every large enterprise and government organization. It is
virtually impossible to find a business that does not depend on IT.
As an end-to-end Internet of Things supplier, we designed
CenterScape to be a flexible framework of data center
infrastructure and asset management tools. CenterScape can be
deployed as a stand-alone solution or used to provide the
real-time, accurate data required to make even the most complex of
DCIM deployments a success.”
CenterScape’s capabilities include predictive analysis, U-level
rack asset management and detailed 3D data center visualization, as
well as comprehensive asset lifecycle reporting, dynamic facility
to global mapping and open-architected APIs for ease of integration
with third-party applications. CenterScape works seamlessly with,
and improves the functionality of, other data center management
systems - DCIM, ITSM, BMS - as well as applications providing
“accountability data” on ownership, procurement and provisioning,
such as SAP, Oracle ERP and BI systems.
This need for greater financial accountability is outlined by
Andy Lawrence, 451 Research’s Research Vice President - Datacenter
Technologies (DCT) & Eco-Efficient IT, who said, "RF Code has a
strong presence in the largest segment of the DCIM market –
environmental monitoring and asset management. Their rapid growth
and focus on managing the whole lifecycle of the assets shows how
important this type of close monitoring is becoming in helping
companies maximize the use of data center capacity, and in accurate
procurement and provisioning.”
As well as helping deliver organizations this transparency,
CenterScape eliminates manual audits, prevents damaging temperature
and humidity fluctuations, ensures compliance with data and
physical asset regulations, and enables the business to generate
double-digit percentage power savings. CenterScape’s flexibility is
further highlighted by a number of RF Code customers that have
developed their own solutions based on its framework. Examples
include:
- A global 200+ lab facility, over
200,000 sq. ft., managing assets through an automated “Laboratory
Check In/Check Out” system
- Real-time asset lifecycle reports that
map the exact location of assets and the time each asset spends in
each location throughout their lifecycle
- On-demand financial tracking and
reporting for leases, warranties and asset depreciation
Richard Jenkins, Vice President, Worldwide Marketing and
Business Development at RF Code, said, “Our Workplace IoT Platform
serves as the foundation of all our software solutions. Its broad
collection of data aggregation, analytics and use cases from the
sectors we are established in such as data centers, healthcare,
supply chain management, and oil and gas is essential for
organizations searching for a consolidated view of operational
performance. This visibility improves financial planning,
eliminates the risk of breaks in service delivery and strengthens
the company’s ability to deliver products and services to
market.”
