It’s been a busy week for news from the data center monitoring sector. Here’s our roundup:

Modius Partners With Nimsoft –Modius announced plans to integrate its OpenData Facilities Monitoring Solution with the Nimsoft Monitoring Solution(NMS), enabling customers to tightly align the supply of power and cooling to variable computing workloads. The companies said that by unifying power & cooling data from Modius with on-board server instrumentation data collected by Nimsoft, the combined solution will allow operators to see unified performance metrics for every rack and zone across the data center.

RF Code Announces Rack-Level Tracking Solution – RF Code, Inc. announced a new solution allowing data centers managers to track and manage assets down to the rack level, in both fully enclosed and open racks. The company says the new RF Code solution takes advantage of infrared’s (IR) ability to “localize” or pinpoint asset location in a specific rack. When coupled with RF Code’s active RFID technology to track assets in large, dense metal environments, this automated IR approach allows customers to track assets down to the server level.
