One facility incident.
Not fifty alarms.

Mission-critical incident orchestration for data centers and colocation. Tier-aware, with DCIM, BMS and EPMS integrated and tenant communications automated, so your control room works the failing chiller, not the alarm flood.

How it works

Above the control layer. Never inside it.

Your BMS, DCIM and EPMS already monitor and control the plant. AlertOps sits above them, ingesting the alarms, correlating the flood into one incident, reaching the right responder, notifying tenants, and writing the audit record. We never actuate equipment and we are not a safety system.

Alarm correlation

47 alarms in 90 seconds. One incident.

When a chiller trips or a feed drops, the BMS fires dozens of alarms across every downstream pump, CRAH and sensor. AlertOps correlates them, mapped to the affected hall via DCIM, into a single incident with one incident commander.

  • Related alarms from BMS / DCIM / EPMS collapse into one record per physical event
  • The operator works the cause, not fifty symptoms
  • Affected racks, tenants and SLAs attached automatically

Facility-aware routing

P1 facility event. The right engineer, paged in seconds.

AlertOps routes by skill, shift, location and tenant impact, so a chilled-water fault reaches the on-call mechanical engineer, not whoever is nearest. If a page goes unanswered, voice fallback fires automatically.

  • Routing by skill + shift + site, not a flat on-call list
  • Voice fallback for unacknowledged pages, responders are rarely at a desk
  • Lower-severity events queue without disrupting an active response
Data Center - Facility-Aware Routing Section
Tenant communications

Tenants told in minutes. Not 45 minutes later.

Pre-positioned templates fire by tenant tier the moment an SLA threshold is crossed, and an SLA-credit draft is generated for approval, turning a 45-minute manual scramble into an automated, tier-correct notification.

  • Tier III tenants get proactive notices; lower tiers get monitoring-only updates
  • SLA-credit drafts routed to an exec when an excursion threshold is exceeded
  • One coordinated message instead of a flood of "is my gear okay?" calls
Data Center - Tenant Communications Section
Audit-ready by default

Every event documented. Per colocation tenant.

Every alarm, escalation, MOP step and resolution is captured chronologically with customer impact attached, so a Tier audit or a tenant dispute is answered with a click instead of a four-hour reconstruction.

  • Per-tenant event timeline available the moment the incident closes
  • Steps logged against the linked Method of Procedure (MOP) with chain-of-custody
  • ServiceNow and Jira stay the system of record with full bidirectional sync

Use cases

Ten scenarios that cover the operator's world.

From a cooling cascade to a portfolio review, every scenario follows the same anatomy: trigger, correlate, escalate, notify, resolve against the MOP, and produce the record.

CoolingUSE CASE 01

Cooling cascade / chiller trip

A chiller or CRAH failure fires dozens of BMS alarms across every downstream pump and sensor; they collapse to one hall incident before temperatures cross the thermal limit.

PowerUSE CASE 02

Utility feed loss on UPS

A feed drops and the UPS goes to battery. The runtime clock, affected racks and load are attached automatically so the operator works the transfer, not the alarm list.

PowerUSE CASE 03

Generator failure-to-transfer

An ATS that doesn't transfer on utility loss is a P1 in seconds. The right electrical engineer is paged immediately, with voice fallback if unacknowledged.

CoolingUSE CASE 04

Hot-aisle thermal runaway

Rising inlet temperatures in a containment aisle are correlated to the failing unit and escalated on a tightening clock, ahead of an automated equipment shutdown.

TenantUSE CASE 05

Tenant SLA excursion

An SLA threshold is crossed; tier-correct tenant notices fire and an SLA-credit draft is routed to an exec for approval, replacing a 45-minute manual scramble.

CoolingUSE CASE 06

Leak / water detection under floor

Condensate or chilled-water leak sensors under a raised floor unify into one incident with location, so the crew is dispatched to the exact tile, not a zone.

PowerUSE CASE 07

PDU / branch-circuit breaker trip

A tripped PDU or branch breaker is localized to the affected rack row and tenant, so impact is scoped in seconds instead of a floor walk.

OpsUSE CASE 08

After-hours single-operator cover

On a thin night shift, an unacknowledged page escalates by skill and site with voice fallback, so no critical event sits waiting for someone at a desk.

TenantUSE CASE 09

Colo customer incident bridge

One coordinated tenant update and bridge replaces a flood of "is my gear okay?" calls, with every message logged against the incident record.

OpsUSE CASE 10

Multi-site availability review

Every site's incidents roll into one view — trends, repeat offenders and SLA exposure — for facilities leadership and the quarterly Tier audit.
