Case Study: BCD Travel achieves proactive data center monitoring and energy savings with Tridium's Niagara Framework

Bcd Travel Finds The Right Solution With The Niagara Framework

BCD Travel, a major travel management company with over 13,000 professionals, faced the challenge of proactively monitoring its expanded data center infrastructure. Their previous rudimentary systems were insufficient for their new facility, requiring a solution that could integrate multiple communication protocols and provide an intuitive user interface. To address this, they turned to vendor Tridium and implemented the Niagara Framework.

Tridium's solution provided a flexible, web-based system for monitoring and control, integrating protocols like SNMP, MODBUS, and LONworks. A key feature was an automated HVAC manager that started and stopped units based on temperature thresholds. This resulted in an approximate 20% reduction in runtime for six CRAC units, delivering an annual savings of over $23,000 and a significant return on investment for BCD Travel.
