They knew that fixing the cooling system of the data center's backup generator would be a serious challenge due to strict building regulations and the need for better monitoring control.
The bank knew to enlist the help of long-time partner ProSwitched, an Australia-based company with expert knowledge of electrical installations and maintenance strategies. Knowing that the bank wanted real-time diagnostics, alerts, and automation to ensure their IT infrastructure would not have any more unplanned shutdowns, ProSwitched turned to Binford Tech, an Australian industrial controls distributor, to supply the hardware and technical expertise.
In this case study, find out how ProSwitched and Binford Tech worked together to leverage the flexibility of Opto 22's groov EPIC and groov RIO to scale the bank's cooling systems without major infrastructure changes and implement cost-effective upgrades.
