Fast-Growing DC BLOX Selects FNT Software to Document and Manage Multiple Data Center Operations
FNT Provides Data Center Infrastructure Management, Centralized Monitoring, Seamless Integration, and Analytics for Increased Operational Reliability and Efficiency
Short Hills, New Jersey (January 9, 2023) – FNT Software, a leading provider of software solutions for the integrated management of IT, data center, and telecommunication infrastructures worldwide, today announced that it has been selected by DC BLOX to document and manage its data center operations in facilities across the Southeast. As a provider of multi-tenant data centers, dark fiber, and connectivity solutions, DC BLOX will utilize FNT’s integrated platform FNT Command to operate with maximum efficiency and high availability.
To meet increasing demands for new digital services, DC BLOX required a centralized solution for data center infrastructure management. Prior to selecting FNT Command, the data center operator relied on manual tracking and project management tools to document all IT infrastructure.
Offering a web-based solution, FNT Command provides the capability to streamline processes and optimize the utilization of data center assets, including building infrastructure (power, cooling, floorspace), IT infrastructure (networks, servers, storage), connectivity (cables, patches), and services (software, applications). The platform offers comprehensive reporting and analytics, making it easy to monitor operations in real-time.
Through its flexible, application programming interface (API), FNT Command enables seamless integration with other third-party applications and systems.
The extensive library of ready-made function calls can be used to integrate virtually with every available software system. FNT Command’s web service-based integration allows systems to exchange data independently of platform, language, and protocol. As a result, a wide range of options for running searches and queries as well as offering write access to FNT Command are available.
“We’re excited to work with DC BLOX and provide centralized monitoring, analytics, and easy acccess to high quality data through the FNT Command platform,“ said Steve MacDiarmid, Executive Managing Director of FNT Americas. “As DC BLOX continues to expand, they will be well-equipped to support new data centers and increased connectivity.”
“Our infrastructure enables businesses to succeed in today’s digital economy, therefore it’s crucial for us to partner with world-class providers who enable us to operate with high availability and efficiency,“ said Mark Sprouse, Vice President of Cloud Engineering and Infrastructure at DC BLOX. “The decision to utilize FNT Command was easy – it’s a scalable solution that makes it easy to manage resources and meet growing demands as we expand.“
DC BLOX’s data centers are located in Atlanta, GA; Birmingham, AL; Huntsville, AL; Chattanooga, TN; Greenville, SC; and soon in Myrtle Beach, SC. Most recently, FNT assisted DC BLOX with a new cable landing station in Myrtle Beach, SC which will open in the second quarter of 2023.
