AIT Infrastructure Manager
Background
AIT Infrastructure Manager provides a complete power and Building Management System (BMS solution). It has a large install base and is supported by AIT’s integration services that include design, installation, commissioning and field support.
Decisive Benefits from Day One
AIT Power Manager provides you with an integrated view of all your Data Centre and network devices power consumption and environmental condition.
Using open standards the Building Management System (BMS) connects with any standard protocol and a wide range of vendor equipment to collect a massive amount of data which is then presented in an easy to use Graphical User Interface. The data is processed to provide real time monitoring and automated alarm responses. Powerful trending, graphing and predictive reports add real benefit to your business by giving you the information you need to improve Capacity and Asset Management and reduce energy costs.
Cost saving
Designed as an open standard solution on a .NET platform, AIT Power Manager connects with any standard protocol and a wide range of vendor equipment to collect a massive amount of data which is then presented in an easy to use Graphical User Interface. The power and building management system data is processed to provide real time monitoring and automated alarm responses. Powerful trending, graphing and predictive reports add real benefit to your business by giving you the information you need to improve Capacity and Asset Management and reduce energy costs.
- Identify when and why your power consumption is greatest and implement changes to increase consumption at off peak times or aggregate consumption to increase Data Centre capacity.
- Identify inefficient hardware and repair or replace it before it causes down time.
- Predict power and environmental failures
- Maximise Power Availability
- Remote Server Rebooting
- Validate Power & Environmental Performance
- Online Asset Register & Documentation
- Centralised Alarm Handling
- Expand Revenue Opportunities
- Minimise Staffing Levels
- Compatible with other Intelligent Systems
- Web Browser Client/Server User Interface
AIT Infrastructure Manager is an advanced power and building management system which brings practical business benefits and paybacks you can calculate.
Display information is tailored to meet operational needs and the skill levels of the user. Unnecessary technical overhead is removed so that the user only sees what they need.
Powerful fault diagnostics and alarm handling capabilities enable faults to be predicted, identified and resolved quickly to reducing the risk of downtime.
A Proven Secure Solution
AIT Infrastructure Manager comprises powerful software installed on a communications server, a powerful data gathering engine that can communicate across a wide range of network and hardware platforms using generic and proprietary protocols to establish ‘real-time’, ‘bi-directional’ communications with the intelligent power monitoring, environmental and life safety systems infrastructure of your premises.
The AIT Infrastructure Manager architecture has been developed to provide ‘plug-in’ capability for applications that wish to gather information from connected systems.
Many of these ‘Plug-Ins’ were developed for specific tasks – such as that used to monitor the AIT Intelligent PDU.
AIT Intelligent PDU
AIT’s Intelligent PDU provides per outlet monitoring, as well as other industry leading features, that enables you to identify power consumption down to the device level
Others tasks include alarm handling, Data Logging, displaying and adjusting values from main power generation and HVAC plant.
AIT Infrastructure Manager operates on open standards – For example the Graphical User Interface is created using HTML and based around Internet Explorer, Microsoft Active Directory provides the security environment and the Client-Server communications are based on the telnet protocol. In fact, AIT Infrastructure Manager makes extensive use of existing software, network and hardware standards to achieve integration without “reinventing the wheel”.
AIT Infrastructure Manager web pages are constructed using industry standard web-authoring software by application engineers skilled in intelligent control and monitoring systems. Customised reports can also be produced to meet the client’s requirements.
Data is automatically collected and archived into a database, normally Microsoft’s SQL or Access, in formats that allow data mining and report generation from third party applications (Crystal Reports, Aperture etc)
Flexible System Architecture
AIT Infrastructure Manager communicates with local and remote sites using agreed transmission methods and bandwidth. Because it has extensible thin client/server architecture, AIT Infrastructure Manager is fully scaleable as your infrastructure grows. Performance is determined ultimately by server, bandwidth and operator resources. With the exception of CCTV applications bandwidth requirements for most applications is very low and should easily be accommodated.
Compatible
AIT Infrastructure Manager is compatible with other building systems, such as;
- Access Control
- Security & Intruder Alarm
- CCTV
- Power Monitoring – Mains, UPS & 48V
- HVAC Plant
- Fire & Smoke
Enabling information from different systems to be monitored, displayed, logged and supervised centrally with cohesive alarm management.
