Abstract: Performance of a data center may be monitored by tracking operation conditions over time, including when the data center has an adequate power supply and when the data center lacks an adequate power supply. An uptime status may be determined from this data. The uptime status and other performance parameters may be calculated, and may be used in determining an overall performance score for the data center. A dashboard may be displayed that includes the uptime status and the overall performance score of the data center.

Abstract: A system and method for monitoring performance of an industrial process includes an input port for receiving signals representative of one or more performance parameters generated by the industrial process, a user interface including a display and a controller that is operably coupled with the input port and the user interface. The controller is configured to repeatedly receive signals over time via the input port representative of the one or more performance parameters of the industrial process and to generate a plurality of snapshots, wherein each snapshot includes a graphical representation of the one or more performance parameters of the industrial process at a corresponding time. The controller is configured to generate an animatable heat map including two or more of the plurality of snapshots arranged temporally and to display the animatable heat map on the display.

Abstract: A data center includes a plurality of tenants, with some of the server racks within the data center specifically assigned to each of the tenants. A monitoring system may be configured to generate unique tenant dashboards that allow each tenant to view a variety of different information pertaining to the server racks that are assigned to them without allowing other tenants to view their dashboards. The system is configured to generate the unique tenant view for each tenant based on tenant profile information collected by the data center as part of a tenant onboarding process and input into the first and second tenant profiles. The system reads the various parameters in the first and second tenant profiles and automatically generates the unique tenant dashboards for each tenant without having to make programming changes to other parts of the system.

Abstract: An example may be found in a method of identifying one or more cooling units of a plurality of cooling units servicing a data center that has a reduced relative performance level relative to other of the plurality of cooling units. The method includes monitoring a performance level of each of the plurality of cooling units and comparing the performance level to that of neighboring cooling units. In response to determining that at least one of the respective cooling units has a reduced relative performance level, an alert is issued.

Abstract: One or more environmental conditions within each of a plurality of server racks are received over time. One or more IT parameters representative of server load are received over time. A model is constructed that models how one or more of the environmental conditions within at least one of the server racks of the plurality of server racks responds to changes in one or more of the IT parameters. A future value of one or more environmental conditions within one or more of the plurality of server racks is predicted based at least in part on the model and the one or more subsequent received IT parameters. At least some of the environmental control equipment of the data center is proactively controlled based at least in part on the predicted future value of one or more of the environmental conditions within the one or more server racks.

Abstract: A method for determining an energy score for a guest room of a hotel having a plurality of guest rooms includes identifying two or more energy saving conditions associated with the guest room under which there is an opportunity to save energy when controlling the guest room without sacrificing guest comfort. The guest room is controlled in a designated energy savings mode when one or more of the energy savings room conditions are detected, and controlling the guest room in a guest comfort mode when none of the energy savings room conditions are detected. An energy score for the guest room is determined based at least in part on a measure of reliability of detecting the two or more energy savings conditions of the guest room, and thus the ability to take advantage of the opportunities to save energy when controlling the guest room.

Abstract: A system provides for evaluating a hotel guest's satisfaction of a hotel, the hotel including a plurality of guest rooms, the hotel guest staying in a guest room of the plurality of guest rooms in the hotel. The system includes one or more sensors within the guest room that are configured to provide data points indicative of guest activities in the guest room, the one or more sensors operably coupled to a hotel network within the hotel. A server is remote from the guest room and is configured to receive the data points from the one or more sensors via a connection to the hotel network and to use the data points to calculate a guest satisfaction score for the guest room. The server is configured to display the guest satisfaction score.
