AixBOMS Data Centre Management: Integration of Measurements

Sensor object for configuring measurement value integration

Evaluations and raw data are fully embedded in the AixBOMS functional modules, allowing the context to be evaluated using different methods, for example, in dashboards, forms, with info fields and graphics, or in the 3D view. For this purpose, a special, combinable data object „Sensor“ was developed, which establishes access to sensors, measurement points, or consoles, but also provides query timing (frequency), value normalisation (unit, decimal places), or value processing (values, expressions).

Evaluation graphs

Thresholds can be set to notify the user via a notification that a value has been exceeded or is in danger of being exceeded. For large-scale parking areas and data centres, measured values and notifications are integrated into the 3D view. In addition, these can also be evaluated in 2D views (area plan) as raw data (in tabular form) or in tree views (semi-graphically).

Graphical evaluation and display (example temperature, current)

Special display variants have been implemented in the 3D model via the so-called colouring mechanism. This allows existing system layouts (such as IT cabinets) to be visualised and also coloured and evaluated according to status, current temperature or power consumption values, or other available measured values. The customer determines the criticality themselves through colour coding and thresholds. Currently queried individual values are embedded in specific display windows.

Highlights

• Generic sensor object for query and timing configuration
• Grouping of sensor objects (e.g. by rack, area) including „Expressions“
• Normalisation of acquired measurements and historisation
• Thresholds and alerting for monitoring support
• Various evaluations in dashboards, charts, semi-charts and displays
