PTS Launches v2.0 of Data Center Maintenance Management Software
(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Data center management provider PTS Data Center Solutions announced on Wednesday it has launched Version 2.0 of is Data Center Maintenance Management Software Solution.
Released in March 2010, DCMMS is aimed at improving efficiencies needed to maintain data center infrastructure. DCMMS is the complete and integrated managed solution for operational maintenance for the data center and its support infrastructure.
“At the time we released DCMMS, there was a gap in available Data Center Infrastructure Management tools,” said PTS’ president and founder, Peter Sacco. “Today, data center operations personnel have at their disposal asset discovery tools such as No Limits Software’s RaMP solution, various real-time monitoring products, building management systems, and IT monitoring and management solutions. What’s missing, however, is maintenance-specific software for the data center. Two years ago we decided to address this specific niche with a product capable of supporting single site and many site data center operations.”
The solution works in conjunction with DCIM tools from all manufacturers and allows operations personnel to track, store, and maintain all maintenance, spare parts, service histories, and work order best practices for facility supporting infrastructure.
The DCMMS solution includes comprehensive facilities and/or IT asset maintenance management system, pre-defined preventative maintenance tasks per data center support infrastructure solutions manufacturers, automated maintenance tracking for various support infrastructure products including maintenance schedules, parts requirements and maintenance cycles per the manufacturer, 70 pre-loaded asset and location icons for data center equipment, and software-as-a-solution options.
Version 2.0 of the solution offers a range of new features, including complete audit tracking for change management control, full calendar and email integration for ease of scheduling service appointments, extensive automated reporting to allow tracking of maintenance and costs, easily create and copy service routines across groups of like or similar assets, and enhanced search routines to quickly target assets by type, manufacturer, location, group, and service date.
The DCMMS platform serves as a basis for effective maintenance operations and includes improving and/or replacing existing data center maintenance operations personnel and processes with a range of tailored services from T&M site inspections though full time, outsourced facility maintenance management personnel.
PTS currently manages thousands of facility supporting infrastructure assets in hundreds of data centers using the DCMMS solution.
