DCIM

1) Introduction: Why Data Center Monitoring Is Not Optional — It’s Essential

In the highly sensitive environment of a data center, even the smallest change in environmental conditions can lead to service downtime or costly damage to critical equipment. Arisa’s DCIM system provides real‑time monitoring that adds a layer of resilience and protection—going far beyond simple monitoring.

2) Comprehensive Infrastructure Monitoring (Equipment and Sensors)

We bring every critical point of your data center under continuous supervision:

    • Power Systems: Precise monitoring of UPS units, Power Monitoring Systems (PMS), and generator operating status.
    • Environmental Conditions: Real‑time monitoring of temperature and humidity across racks and rooms.
    • Battery Room Safety: Hydrogen gas leak detection to prevent potential explosion risks.
    • Intelligent Fire Prevention (VOC): VOC sensors for early detection of cable overheating or burning odors—well before smoke appears—while also monitoring indoor air quality for operators.
    • Ventilation & Air Quality: CO₂ sensors enabling smart ventilation control.
    • Liquid Leakage: Detection of water or coolant leaks using dedicated leak detection sensors.
    • Physical Security: Monitoring the open/close status of room and rack doors.
    • System Integration: Seamless integration of fire alarm systems and access control into a unified DCIM platform.

3) Hardware Standards for Electrically Noisy Data Center Environments

Data centers are environments with high levels of electromagnetic interference (EMI). Our sensors and controllers are designed to operate reliably under these conditions and feature the following characteristics:

    • Industrial‑Grade Design: Built for continuous 24/7 operation in mission‑critical environments.
    • High Noise Immunity: Protective circuitry and electrical isolation to prevent power‑line noise from affecting sensor data.
    • Standard Communication Protocols: Native support for Modbus RTU/TCP, SNMP, and BACnet, enabling stable integration with a wide range of equipment.
    • Intelligent Gateways: Smart protocol conversion that translates multiple device protocols into formats compatible with the central network and monitoring software.

4) Intelligent Software: Management, Monitoring, and Control

Our DCIM software goes far beyond a simple monitoring dashboard. It acts as the operational brain of your data center, enabling the automation of complex operational scenarios and coordinated responses across critical systems.

    • Event History and Trend Analysis: All alarms, warnings, and key operational parameters are recorded over time. By analyzing historical events and trend curves, operators can better understand root causes and make informed decisions for long‑term infrastructure optimization and reliability improvements.
    • Configurable Operational Scenarios

-Intelligent Fire Response Scenario: Once a fire event is detected, visual alarms are immediately displayed within the software, and alerts are sent via SMS and email. The system can temporarily unlock electronic doors to allow personnel to exit safely before the fire‑suppression gas is released. At the same time, cooling units (such as InRow systems) are automatically shut down to maintain the proper concentration of the suppression gas and ensure effective fire control.

-Power Failure Management Scenario: In the event of a utility power outage and transfer to UPS operation, audible alarms are triggered and the generator startup status is reported to operators in real time, ensuring continuous awareness of power system stability.

-Hydrogen Safety Management Scenario: The system continuously monitors hydrogen levels in battery rooms. If gas concentration exceeds warning thresholds, exhaust ventilation is automatically activated to prevent hazardous buildup while maintenance teams address faulty batteries.

5) Two Deployment Approaches (Flexible Implementation Options)

We offer two tailored solutions based on your budget, maintenance strategy, and the criticality of your project:

    • International Brand Solution (e.g., CAREL):
      Deployment of globally recognized CAREL (Italy) sensors, controllers, and gateways. This option is ideal for projects that require internationally certified, field‑proven brands and strict compliance with global standards.
    • Arisa Native High‑Performance Solution:
      Utilizing hardware designed and manufactured by Arisa Systems’ engineering team. This approach not only reduces overall project costs but also enables full customization to meet specific project requirements—along with direct technical support and after‑sales service.
