Data centers are major energy consumers, emitting CO2 equivalent to 13 million cars in North America alone. Emissions arise from primary operations and auxiliary systems like cooling and backup generators. Inefficiencies in IT equipment management and a lack of detailed emissions analysis hinder targeted reduction strategies. So, is it possible to make them more sustainable? The short answer is, yes.

We have two. The first is a client who was spending $700k annually on manual audits for their data centers. They were unaware that these error-prone and costly audits could be replaced with automation. By eliminating physical audits through our Asset Tracking RFID solution, they not only achieved greater accuracy and speed but also saved hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Many believe working in the industry involves mundane tasks, but that couldn't be further from the truth. The data center industry is adopting new and disruptive technologies like AI and AR. How would you like to shape the nervous system of the economy?

15 years ago, we were part of a team that was battling to keep up with managing 22 data centers stretched across two continents and four time zones. We desperately needed DCIM tools, but at the time they were too limited. In 2012, we decided to build those tools ourselves and started Hyperview. Here's our story.

Version 4.4 comes with several new feature updates: Business Entities for tracking customers, partners, and departments, improved control for transfer switch power devices, streamlined bulk actions for Business Entity association with assets, enhanced import capabilities for connections and circuits, and advanced search function to filter by Business Entity for easier, more efficient work.

Version 4.3 is packed with upgrades to enhance data center monitoring. Improvements in Connectivity, Alarm Event Management, and Notifications aim to boost your experience, offering customizable alarm settings, reducing email volume, and integrating seamlessly with MS Teams for alerts.

Discover the seamless integration between Hyperview's cloud-based Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) platform and the DC Vision AR platform by DC Smarter. This innovative integration brings the thrilling capabilities of augmented reality to data center operations, introducing a new era of efficiency and effectiveness.

In this episode of the Hyper Views podcast, join us for an insightful conversation with Ismar Efendic, the Co-founder and CTO of ⁠⁠DC SMARTER⁠⁠. Together with our CTO, Rami Jebara, they delve deep into the revolutionary impact of Augmented Reality (AR) in the data center industry. Explore how AI and AR play pivotal roles in addressing today's challenges such as talent shortage, edge growth, security, and compliance. Additionally, they highlight the importance of situational awareness, quick response times, and an agile infrastructure in data center operations.

In this episode of Hyper Views, we're delighted to have Dean Nelson, the founder and chairman of the Infrastructure Masons, joining us. We dive into the world of data centers, specifically focusing on power capacity effectiveness (PCE) as a key metric. We highlight the significance of measuring PCE and its impact on sustainability reporting, while aligning sustainability goals with economic performance objectives. And of course, we provide some valuable insights and advice for executives and operators on optimizing PCE and power usage effectiveness (PUE) in data centers.

The release of 4.1 comes with some exciting updates. Web management address discovery now becomes a breeze with Autodetection. Firmware Updates now support Panduit Gen5 and nVent Enlogic EN2.0 rack PDUs. Not to mention, the Location Layout offers enhanced floor plan visualization with convenient export options. These updates and more provide you with better control and improved visibility.
