Given the rapid growth of data, centers all face new challenges. ABB is testing the new ABB AbilityTM Data Center Automation solution to address these challenges with a co-location data center provider.

A co-location data center provider is testing a cloud solution, with ABB, which allows you to optimize data center performance, increased tenant retention, agile communications between operations and senior management, and cost reduction .

ABB's new solution, AbilityTM Data Center Automation, provides detailed performance information for various data centers and devices . By concentrating all the information in a single place, you get an integrated and consolidated view of the overall performance of the data center, both locally and globally, allowing you to perform in-depth analysis and make better strategic decisions.

ABB is testing its solution with a data center provider in Singapore, which will help them define the requirements of a minimum viable product (MVP).

“One of the most important challenges facing companies today is how to mitigate the impact of data centers on the environment . ABB's new solution allows to see and monitor the power, cooling and environmental properties of data centers, being able to identify opportunities for improvement. The increased exposure of performance data to a wider audience, such as senior management, allows strategic operational decisions to be made based on accurate and up-to-date information, ”said Madhav Kalia, global business director, ABB Data Center Automation.

According to an ABB statement, by allowing monitoring and referencing KPIs and metrics, this new solution also provides insights into how these elements change over time, thus enabling the effectiveness of improvements and performance optimizations to be verified and any problem resolved.

AbilityTM is the unified digital offering for different industrial sectors of the company and includes more than 210 industrial solutions on the internet and a technological and industrial platform on the internet and cloud infrastructure . Based on the knowledge acquired in more than 20 sectors and more than 40 years of experience in digital technology, ABB Ability allows customers to develop new processes and improve existing ones by contributing ideas and optimizing the planning and controls of operations in real time . The results can be entered into control systems such as ABB Ability System 800xA to improve key performance metrics of plants and assets.
