Case Study: MacStadium achieves real-time 3D visibility and remote global data center management with Sunbird DCIM

MacStadium easily monitors and manages global data centers with Sunbird’s robust DCIM software

MacStadium, an IaaS provider of cloud-based Mac and iOS development environments, faced rapid international growth during the COVID-19 surge and struggled to manage large volumes of consumer-grade Apple hardware across multiple sites. The C‑suite lacked visibility into rack and floor space, and teams needed better information sharing, automation/integration, and remote 3D visualization — requirements that led MacStadium to choose Sunbird DCIM (leveraging products such as dcTrack and PowerIQ).

Sunbird DCIM implemented dcTrack with 3D visualization and PowerIQ for real‑time power monitoring, replacing MacStadium’s manual rack system and building custom models for their unique equipment. The solution centralized asset and connection data, enabled remote, real‑time visualization and power tracking, eliminated the need for physical site inspections, sped decision‑making across time zones, and delivered measurable benefits in visibility, time savings, and ongoing support from Sunbird DCIM.
