Vertiv, a global leader in critical digital infrastructure and continuity solutions, has unveiled Vertiv Environet Connect, a new cloud-connected, web-based solution for managing and monitoring digital infrastructure across multiple locations. This innovative system offers a device-agnostic interface that supports a wide range of data centre infrastructure equipment from various manufacturers.
Enhanced Deployment and Monitoring Capabilities
Available now in Europe, the Middle East, Africa (EMEA), and North America, Environet Connect streamlines the deployment of Vertiv equipment remotely. It enhances the equipment’s health and efficiency through mass provisioning and firmware updates of network management cards. The system significantly improves oversight of critical infrastructure components such as UPS systems, rack PDUs, generators, and thermal units, by providing advanced monitoring features and customizable alarm notifications.
Strategic Benefits for Edge Deployments
Wesley Lim, vice president of software and digital solutions at Vertiv, emphasized the importance of Environet Connect in the context of rapidly growing edge deployments. He noted, “Applications like large language models and autonomous vehicles, which are predominantly data center-based today, could soon transition to the edge to minimize latency and processing bottlenecks. Environet Connect, with its secure, user-friendly, and web-accessible platform, will substantially enhance operational visibility and maximize uptime in remote environments.”
Accessibility and Multi-Tenancy
Environet Connect is designed to be accessible to both direct customers and channel-managed service providers (MSPs), supporting various user types through its multi-tenancy design. This setup simplifies the management process for partners and enhances user experience across different levels of service involvement.
Comprehensive Services and Support
To augment the user experience, Vertiv offers an array of services alongside Environet Connect, including software training, a customer help desk, and asset management. These services are tiered to provide technical support, firmware updates, device provisioning, and remote monitoring.
Integration with Vertiv’s AI Ecosystem
The introduction of Environet Connect coincides with Vertiv’s recent announcement of Vertiv 360AI, an end-to-end portfolio designed for High-Performance Compute (HPC) and AI deployments. Environet Connect serves as a unified interface for managing the comprehensive solutions within Vertiv’s AI ecosystem, enhancing the integration of power, cooling, enclosures, and digitized management services.
