A data center infrastructure monitoring system and method that includes a plurality of geographically distributed data centers, each data center comprising a plurality of mechanical assets. A data center gateway system communicatively coupled to one or more data centers of the plurality of data centers is configured to determine a subset of the plurality of mechanical assets of the data center that provide cooling to equipment of a customer of the data center, and output, for display, a graphical depiction of the subset of the plurality of mechanical assets of the data center that provide cooling to equipment of the customer in the data center.

Determining asset associations for data center customers

A data center infrastructure monitoring system and method that includes a plurality of geographically distributed data centers, each data center comprising a plurality of physical infrastructure assets. A data center gateway system communicatively coupled to one or more data centers of the plurality of data centers is configured to receive a request from a customer of a data center of the plurality of data centers to display a real-time power path that shows a current flow of power through a plurality of assets of the data center, determine a subset of the plurality of assets of the data center that provide power to equipment of the customer of the data center, and output, for display, a graphical depiction of the real-time power path between the subset of the plurality of assets of the data center that provide power to equipment of the customer in the data center.

Determining power path for data center customers

A data center infrastructure monitoring system and method that includes a plurality of geographically distributed data centers, each having a plurality of physical infrastructure assets. A data center gateway system is communicatively coupled to one or more data centers of plurality of data centers and configured to receive data for configuring an alert specifying one or more data center assets to monitor for a primary alert event, an event type for the primary alert event, and a conditional trigger event upon which providing an alert notification for the primary alert event will be conditioned, store the data for configuring the alert, monitor, based on the stored data, the one or more infrastructure assets for the conditional trigger event and the primary alert event, and in response to detecting both the conditional trigger event and the primary alert event associated with the configured alert, providing the alert notification.

Defining conditional triggers for issuing data center asset information

A central infrastructure monitoring system includes an asset configurator; and a plurality of data center infrastructure monitoring systems each associated with a respective data center of a plurality of geographically distributed data centers that include one or more physical infrastructure assets of a plurality of physical infrastructure assets for enabling system operation within the respective data center. The data center infrastructure monitoring systems are coupled to the central infrastructure monitoring system. The asset configurator is configured to define templates of standard attributes for the plurality of infrastructure assets based on information about the plurality of infrastructure assets of the plurality of data centers, generate infrastructure asset data that logically represents the plurality of physical infrastructure assets based on the defined templates, and associate, via the infrastructure asset data, the physical infrastructure assets within an infrastructure asset hierarchy indicating connections and interdependencies between the plurality of infrastructure assets.

Architecture for data center infrastructure monitoring

A data center infrastructure monitoring system and method that includes a plurality of geographically distributed data centers, each data center of the plurality of data centers having a plurality of physical infrastructure assets. A central monitoring center is communicatively coupled to one or more data centers of the plurality of data centers and configured to, in response to receiving, by a computing device, indications of a plurality of user inputs creating one or more graphical relationships between a plurality of icons depicting infrastructure assets in a data center, determine, by the computing device and based on the graphical relationships, hierarchical relationships between the infrastructure assets in the data center depicted by the icons, and store data indicative of the hierarchical relationships between the infrastructure assets.
