A VMware Outage Postmortem: Tracing Impact from VM to Rack to Power Feed

Outages rarely stay confined to a single layer, they ripple across virtual, physical, and power infrastructure. When a VMware incident occurs, the challenge isn’t just identifying the failure; it’s understanding how it impacts interconnected systems. In this blog, we’ll explore a real-world scenario and demonstrate how Nlyte’s Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) platform provides end-to-end visibility,... Read More

Data Center Monitoring, Management, and Control: Stacking it All Up for the AI Era

Let's face it, the concept of "business as usual" in data center management has vanished. We are no longer just managing servers and cooling units; we are orchestrating complex ecosystems that power Artificial Intelligence (AI),... Read More

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. While valid, this model often created data silos. In 2026, those silos are operational risks. When an AI training cluster spins up, it generates immediate, intense heat. If your IT management system doesn't instantly communicate with your cooling infrastructure, you risk thermal runaway or inefficient over-cooling. The contemporary stack is about Integrated Data Center Management (IDCM). This approach bridges the gap between the facility (OT) and the technology (IT), creating a single source of truth that enables real-time responsiveness.
