Zone 6: Device Level Monitoring – Automated connectivity patch field management, as well as monitoring and control of per outlet or device power, within a data center or enterprise.

Zone 2: Switchboard Distribution Board - Monitors sub meters at the main distribution board for DC related equipment.

Zone 3: Plant Equipment - Distributed monitoring of supporting facility services, including individual chillers, AHU, CRAC, UPS and lighting circuits.

Zone 4: Branch Circuit Monitoring of Data Hall – Focuses on monitoring of total rack or cabinet IT loads and environmentals.

5

Zone 5: Rack & Cabinet Level Monitoring – Intelligent monitoring and control of power, environmental, and cabinet level security in addition to DCIM level asset tracking and capacity planning for the data center and enterprise.
