by Rebecca Walker — March 8, 2010—Modius Inc. and RF Code, Inc. announced a partnership that teams RF Code’s wire-free environmental sensor-based monitoring solution into the Modius OpenData platform. Available now, the integrated solution is the first initiative stemming from the partnership between the two companies.
Modius is the leading provider of unified monitoring and measurement solutions that track both IT devices and facilities infrastructure equipment from a single pane-of-glass, delivering performance-based analysis of todays converged IT infrastructure.
The Modius flagship offering, OpenData, is software that allows users to manage the performance of both IT devices and facilities infrastructure equipment across all enterprise business-critical sites, including data centers, call centers, server closets, and mechanical yards.
The wire-free active sensor-based software solution from RF Code monitors and alerts about a broad range of environmental factors, including changes in temperature and humidity and the sudden presence of dangerous conductive liquids.
Modius OpenData now accepts environmental data directly from RF Code sensors, so customers get a complete picture about the real-time status and performance of all their physical data center assets. This combined view includes both performance data collected by Modius directly from IT and facilities equipment, as well as environmental data collected by RF Code sensors. The combined information is then used to help operators run more efficient and cost-effective data centers.
