Case Study: LightBound achieves smarter data center monitoring with Tridium’s Niagara Framework

Niagara Framework Helps Lightbound Deliver Even More To Their Customers

LightBound, an Indiana-based data center and managed services provider, faced the challenge of designing a vendor-neutral and expandable data center management system. They needed a solution with an intuitive user interface that could integrate with diverse equipment to quickly identify problems. They chose to implement a management system built on the Niagara Framework from Tridium to meet these needs.

The solution from Tridium provided a web-based interface for remote access and included graphical thermographic views to visualize temperature data and spot cooling issues. Its vendor-neutral capability allowed it to communicate with existing third-party equipment, avoiding costly replacements. The results included efficient alarm notifications via email and SMS, faster response times, and proactive system management. LightBound was so pleased with the outcome that they planned to deploy the system in all of their data centers.
