Challenges in Data Center & IT Infrastructure Maintenance
Managing IT and facility assets in a high-availability environment comes with significant challenges:
Zero tolerance for downtime
Every minute of outage impacts business continuity and SLAs.
Fragmented monitoring tools
Disconnected systems for asset inventory, maintenance, and energy usage.
Complex infrastructure layers
Servers, power systems, HVAC, and cabling need synchronized maintenance.
Manual recordkeeping
Lack of unified dashboards delays decisions and compliance readiness.
Energy efficiency tracking
Balancing uptime with optimized power and cooling consumption.
Compliance demands
ISO 27001, SOC 2, and Uptime Institute standards require detailed maintenance logs.
PlantOps360 bridges these challenges through automation, centralized asset visibility, and actionable insights.
