OVERLAND PARK, Kan.,
June 1, 2021 /PRNewswire/
-- Responding to increasing demand from customers to manage
their data center environments remotely, QTS Realty
Trust (NYSE: QTS), a leading provider of hybrid colocation and
mega scale data center solutions, today announced its new Smart
Family of data center remote management solutions.
The Smart Family joins QTS' API-driven Service Delivery Platform
(SDP), the industry's first self-service colocation
orchestration platform that delivers complete transparency into the
data center. SDP empowers customers to view and self-manage their
environments from a single platform in real-time.
The Smart Family solutions are built on advanced technologies
that include artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML)
and predictive capabilities to enable real-time visibility and
access, real-time notifications, and preemptive intelligent
insights into customers' colocation environments. Through agile
innovation, the API-driven platform leads the industry in data
center services delivery that is also reflected in QTS'
industry-leading customer satisfaction results.
QTS Smart Family
- QTS SmartCam is an intelligent, real-time vision
system that informs customers as events occur in their colocation
space. Providing an additional layer of visibility and physical
security at the data center, SmartCam applies AI and ML to live
streaming video of the customer's controlled space to identify,
capture, record, and log motion-activated "events".
Integrated with QTS physical security and badge management systems,
SmartCam uses facial recognition to detect and identify badge
holders such as employees and contractors, and tags unrecognized
individuals for the duration of their visit. ML enables the system
to detect objects entering and leaving the customer's space and
identifies anomalies such as a cage door left ajar or an abandoned
package left in an aisle.
QTS SmartCam is available immediately for dedicated cage, suite and
data hall environments across QTS' U.S data center footprint.
- QTS SmartCart is a highly secure and intelligent
keyboard, video, and mouse (KVM) over IP service that allows
customers to programmatically manage devices in their colocation
space from anywhere in the world.
The ability to remotely access and control equipment at the data
center has never been more critical than during the pandemic. As a
result, the industry's reliance on remote management tools and the
effort to reduce trips to the data center is quickly becoming the
new way of conducting business.
With SmartCart, customers can configure, troubleshoot and conduct
tests on servers and network devices when they want from wherever
they want. This enables highly secure remote access to
servers and network devices to help customers solve complex
problems efficiently and preemptively.
QTS SmartCart is available today at select QTS data centers.
- QTS SmartSensors provide real-time visibility into key
temperature and relative humidity data at the rack-level and issue
real-time notifications to keep customers informed of changes in
their environment.
Environmental sensors, integrated into QTS building management
systems, ensure ideal operating conditions for each location. They
help prevent overcooling, undercooling, electrostatic discharge,
corrosion and short circuits, optimizing a customer's critical data
center equipment.
With SmartSensor notifications, both customers and QTS critical
environment technicians will be informed of climate metrics and
trends before thresholds are exceeded, enabling a proactive
approach to remediation of potential issues. SmartSensor customers
can also apply predictive analysis to reveal future climate trends
within their environment.
QTS SmartSensors will be available soon at QTS mega data
centers.
"QTS' Service Delivery Platform delivers operational
efficiencies for our customers by providing exceptional levels of
real-time visibility from a single platform," said Brent Bentsen, Chief Technology Officer, QTS.
"The Smart Family further extends QTS' commitment to a premium
customer experience by applying advanced technologies that put more
remote control into our customers' hands, eliminating costs
associated with data center visits."
