Traditionally, data center management was viewed as a layer cake of disparate systems. You had your Building Management System (BMS) at the bottom, your Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) in the middle, and various IT tools on top.

If your IT management system doesn't instantly communicate with your cooling infrastructure, you risk thermal runaway or inefficient over-cooling.

This approach bridges the gap between the facility (OT) and the technology (IT), creating a single source of truth that enables real-time responsiveness.
