QMore specifically, what are the technologies and products you offer the data centre market?
A We have now developed a range of products that include power and energy monitoring with integral dashboards, intelligent lighting
controls, HVAC, OEM products and BMS data export for energy analytics to improve complete data centre energy usage. For example we have our SIPp for power monitoring all the way down to rack level giving KWh,V, A, pf, PUE. We also have our SIPpVision which oversees the SIPp network and allows the manager to group their internal or external customers to their complete power usage even if their equipment is based over a few rooms.
We are able to interface with all CRAC manufacturers to give the data centre manager the accurate information he needs on his input/ output temperatures to make sure everything is running at its optimal level. We have SIPe BMS logger that will monitor and give a graphical output of pulse meters so being able to monitor water pumps problems before they arise. Also we can add intelligent lighting to the building as well.
