Measured, next to what you planned
Readings land beside the plan. See sensors on the floor, chart their history with limits drawn in, and compare measured kW with allocated kW rack by rack.
Sensors on the plan
Drag a sensor onto the floor or a rack. It is drawn with an icon per sensor family and coloured by alarm state.
History against limits
Charts cover 24 hours, 7 days and 30 days, with warning and critical limits drawn as lines.
Measured against allocated
The room power panel puts measured kW beside allocated kW for each rack, with the reading's source and age.
From setup to answer in four steps
Add a telemetry source
Give it an endpoint, a saved credential and a poll interval of 15 minutes or less.
Map the points
Map each external point to a power meter, environmental sensor, power circuit or rack field, with its own unit and scale.
Readings arrive
A polling service reads sources every 5 minutes, keeps every reading as history and updates the mapped records hourly.
Review
Chart history, spot stale points and compare measured with allocated power.
What you can do
Fourteen sensor types, thirteen positions
Temperature, humidity, differential pressure, airflow, water leak, leak rope, smoke, door contact and more, mounted at the rack front inlet, rear exhaust, cold aisle, hot aisle, underfloor, CRAC or CRAH and elsewhere. Each holds warning and critical high and low limits, a dew point warning and calibration dates.
Stale points are flagged
Readings are converted to the field's unit, with W, kW and MW all shown as kW. A point silent for 30 minutes is flagged as stale, so a quiet feed never looks like a healthy one.
Network device health too
Network devices are polled over SNMP every 5 minutes by the collector, with hourly CPU, memory, traffic and power draw history on each device and a fleet monitoring dashboard.
Works with the rest of the platform
Power chain
Model the whole power chain, see headroom at every step against de-rated capacity, and take a feed out on screen to find what would be overloaded.

Ask the question in the form it is asked on the floor. NetCosm answers yes or no, names the limiting factor and shows the records it used.
Read moreRoom and floor planner
Open any room as a 2D floor plan or a 3D view, drop racks onto the tile grid and see at once whether they fit, clear the doors and face the right way.

Which monitoring systems can feed it?
Telemetry sources connect through an endpoint, a saved credential and a poll interval. Ask us which of your systems are supported.
How often are readings collected?
Every 5 minutes. Mapped records update hourly and every reading is kept as history.
Can we see sensors on the floor plan?
Yes. Sensors are placed on the plan or a rack and coloured by alarm state.
How far back can we look?
Charts cover 24 hours raw, 7 days hourly and 30 days at 4-hourly, with limits drawn as lines.
Can we compare real power use with what we allocated?
Yes. Per rack, on the room power panel.
NetCosm is hosted in the United Kingdom, so your rack, power and network records stay in the UK.
