Just in time for the German Open Data Center Day on November 8, let’s take a closer look at a topic that’s becoming increasingly important for many operators: sustainable and efficient energy management in data centers. Open Data Center Day provides a unique opportunity to go behind the scenes of these high-tech environments and explore…
Data centers are the backbone of our information society. But with the exponential growth of digital infrastructure, energy consumption is also increasing. Increased electricity costs and strict reporting requirements in accordance with European guidelines like CSRD, the GPP, the EU Digital Product Passport and the UN Sustainable Development Goals are putting pressure on data centers…
The recently released speedikon FM AG cabling tool for the DAMS C data center management software has realized an important improvement for cabling management. The new tool makes the often laborious and time-consuming cabling and patching considerably easier, much faster and significantly less error prone. This saves users a lot of time, thereby bringing monetary…
Power consumption in Data Centers is growing exponentially these days. One reason is the pandemic situation with countless meetings and conferences held in digital form exclusively. Another key factor is the significant rise of digital currencies. Thus, Bitcoin only consumes more energy than Belgium and New Zealand together. In 2017, Bitcoin’s power consumption was around…
Every Data Center Operations Manager knows the tricky situation too well: a cable or a connector fails, and you immediately face the question, which other devices are affected, and how these devices are interconnected. However, this does not only concern any failuires or drop-outs, but in the same way planned down-times for exchanging devices. In…
In the context of rapidly progressing digitization, the introduction of 5G and IoT solutions already available, there is absolutely no doubt that the amount of data to be processed will dramatically rise to infinity due to additional factors driving digitization. As a matter of consequence, there will be no alternative to distributed systems, so called…

Whether for correcting defects or for planning: you can receive helpful information on our DCIM platform DAMS C . Its network reports, in shape of graphics or lists, can show you where servers and patch panels are located and how they are interconnected; or you can find out how many and which kind of connections…
In decentralized system environments of organizations, the decisive efficiency factor is software systems’ ability to seamlessly communicate. The most common framework for automatic data transfer among Enterprise Information Systems are API Calls/Webservices. They enable smooth data exchange between DAMS C and various systems such as a CMDB or an ERP application. For the following reasons,…
In addition to central standard processes such as Asset- and Cable Management, DAMS C professionally supports also relevant service processes. Our high performing C-platform allows manifold technical and commercial processes to be built upon. Therefore, an integrated, fully-fledged Helpdesk is self- evident, and many of our customers use different Helpdesk configurations successfully every day. This…
The reliable management of connectivity in today’s data centers regarding different assets, DC rooms and even different DC-sites distant from each other is getting more and more complex. Both precise documentation as well as planning of such cable paths is indispensable to be able to provide a professional answer to the ever-increasing lack of time…
During the implementation of a DCIM System, DC managers face two major challenges these days: On one hand, it is the initial capturing of data regarding assets and cables from existing systems. On the other, it is the smooth and seamless integration of the DCIM solution into existing system environments and the respective processes. The…
In addition to the documentation of cables in current operations, DAMS C users also apply our software functions to schedule patching for new data centres or for comprehensive expansion planning. The objective hereby is to create a reliable basis for tenders and orders. Extensive reports allow a full overview of all patch cables in a rack.…
