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.
