Bangalore: Datacenter power and cooling infrastructure vendor, Emerson has updated its monitoring software to include support for its two recently launched power distribution units. The application's new version also features a new management dashboard and enhanced trending and reporting capabilities, reports Datacenter Dynamics.
With the new Liebert Nform dashboard, the company aims to enable operators to create a comprehensive view of their facilities' infrastructure equipment so they can respond to system changes more quickly, according to an Emerson statement. The dashboard compiles data into graphs and charts, as well as providing real-time status of each piece of equipment monitored.
"A small problem in a datacenter can quickly escalate into a disaster," said Anand Ekbote, VP of the Liebert monitoring division at Emerson. "Knowing what is happening with power and cooling equipment can keep critical infrastructure systems at peak operating efficiency, which is vital to system reliability."
New rack power distribution units the updated application supports are Liebert MPX and Liebert MPH. Emerson launched the PDU's in early September.
