Smart Rack: Profit from this game changing architecture with Symbiosis

  • Symbiosis is an innovative and distributed monitoring and control system. As such it offers you a better, more intelligent and more flexible way to collect and manage the large amounts of data provided from current energy and sensor sources, compared to older, monolithic concepts (e.g. DCIM).
  • A Smart Rack is a single intelligent rack, and groups its contained servers with their PDUs, and sensors into one logical unit of management.
  • This Smart Rack will provide detailed analysis data to a specific customer group, and will be connected in a standard hierarchical manner to concentrators which then provide a wider group of management and administrators with the type of data they need (e.g. history and trending over the complete data center or specific events).
  • The auto-detect feature of Symbiosis will automatically provide IP-devices with an address on the private network, and will add the device to your management overview. (Note: only possible for supported devices with DHCP and using factory settings).
  • This means that there is no need for costly in-cabinet IP or other configuration or additional Ethernet switches, turning your cabinet into a Smart Rack.
  • In contrast to many DCIM platforms Symbiosis offers full device support: instead of only very simple SNMP GET-functions of many DCIM platforms, Symbiosis supports all measurement and control functions of a connected device through our specially designed device software.

Symbiosis offers you many more advantages

  • Symbiosis presents you and your users with their energy and sensors data in a way that they can easily and quickly understand. A dashboard front page gives the user an overview of all connected devices, and with a single click, the detail page of a selected device.
  • The collected data is visualized using state-of-the-art charting technology. You can easily see weighted averages and historical high values, both of which are important for determining the remaining power budget or for seeing trends over time.
  • Reports based on the collected data can be created for further offline analysis of specific devices. These reports can be used as the basis for billing documents.
  • Data or device changes are displayed immediately in Symbiosis – no need to refresh to see any changes.
