From everyone, to everyone, everywhere, everyday, and at an equal price to all!

"One of the main challenges faced by RiT Tech and the team was to find an alternative to a traditional BMS. Their innovative approach to infrastructure management will result in a far superior solution!"

- CTO, Israel Post Office

Client: Israel Post 


Industry: Postal Service - Central Government


Location: Modi'in, Israel 


Scale: 5000 Employees; 700 Post Office Branches; 1 x Data Center / 70 x Cabinets.


An important client and part of Israel’s critical national infrastructure, the Israel postal company is government owned and has the largest deployment of service units throughout Israel.


Israel Post employs circa 5000 employees. There are 700 post office branches and sorts around 2.5m postal items every day.


One of the many challenges faced by government agencies is budget and this project was no different. Our client was looking for one infrastructure management solution that did not require purchasing of multiple and expensive software platforms to manage the efficient operations of 70 dedicated cabinets.

Our Client's Challenge


Our client was looking for one system to support all of its infrastructure and operations needs at its new data hall in Modi’in, Israel.


The brief was to find an alternative to a traditional BMS monitoring system and go beyond the basic limitations many systems like this can bring.


Our role was to provide one federated platform that could monitor every electro-mechanical device from generators to CRACS and UPSs, and at the same time provide an asset management, provisioning and work order management tool.

"A demonstrable reduction in man-hours consumed across a range of tasks"

Our XpedITe Solution


As XpedITe is not a BMS vendor, our strategy was to integrate each electro-mechanical device directly into our platform, so that we could accurately monitor all physical assets.


We had three priorities to address:


  • Build a data cener data model and platform that contained every single device and asset, so that the operational management of the entire facility could be orchestrated perfectly.

  • Provide an enhanced BMS that could do more than merely monitoring of devices and take it to the next level, where our customer can have access to critical management information for strategic decision making.

  • Improve internal processes for managing and instructing work orders - Installations, Moves, Adds and Changes (IMACs), which in turn will reduce labor overheads and limit human error.


The unique opportunity for us and for our client will be a new suite of generic integration protocols that can be applied to any other data center site within our customer’s estate.

Integration:

An enhanced BMS focused on specific data center requirements that could do more than merely monitoring of devices and take it to the next level to provide critical management information.

Asset Management:

A data center software platform that contains every single device and asset, so that the operational management of the entire facility can be orchestrated perfectly. 

Utilisation: 

Benefits for our client include a more efficient use of deployed resources, a reduction of labour overhead, limiting human error and improving workflow efficiency as well as time to service.

Accurate and reliable data for all physical infrastructure elements

What our client values about XpedITe


One of the main challenges faced by RiT Tech and the team was to find an alternative to a traditional BMS – their innovative integrated approach to infrastructure management has resulted in a far superior data center specific solution that cannot be achieved using a traditional BMS alone.


This fully integrated approach ensures that every device and device vendor could be integrated into the system quickly with minimal effort and resource overhead. Their Research & Development team have adapted their product to provide additional integration capabilities to suit our specific needs. This results in:


  • Accurate and reliable data for all physical infrastructure elements
  • Real time visibility of both building management and infrastructure management information from all installed devices
  • Asset deployment automation and management with detailed reporting, which reduces human intervention and resource overhead
  • A demonstrable reduction in man-hours consumed across a range of tasks

In the dynamic world of data center infrastructure management (DCIM), innovation is the key to staying ahead, something worth celebrating and considering on this International Data Center Day. One of the biggest innovations, as the technology continues to evolve, is Artificial Intelligence (AI). Gone are the days when AI was merely a tech buzzword; today, it stands as a driving force reshaping the landscape of data centers worldwide, ushering in an era of unprecedented growth and innovation. The significance of data centers in our interconnected world has reached new heights, paralleled by the escalating advancements in AI technology. We interact with data centers in our daily lives, in actions that only a few years ago were innovative, such as sending an email, enjoying a movie or series on your mobile, reserving a table at a restaurant or a trip, checking a bank account, the list is endless! Nowadays, these applications also have their own AI, which makes them even more useful in our day to day lives. However, with this surge comes a corresponding increase in energy consumption, posing challenges to traditional data center operations. Yet, amidst this energy-intensive landscape, AI is not only responsible for a significant percentage of data center consumption, but also continues to offer a transformative power. It paves the way for enhanced operational efficiency within data centers through predictive maintenance, optimization of cooling systems, risk identification and mitigation and intelligent energy consumption. These advancements not only result in substantial cost savings but also contribute to environmental sustainability. Looking ahead, AI holds the key to driving further innovations in data center design and management, ensuring scalability and sustainability in an era of relentless digital expansion. Along with the expansion of the influence and importance of data centers, it is becoming more universal and intelligent, at RiT Tech, we stand at the forefront of this evolutionary wave with our groundbreaking UIIM (Universal Intelligent Infrastructure Management) concept. XpedITe is spearheading the charge towards sustainable and efficient data center infrastructure. As the only DCIM system on the market to provide this level of connectivity, XpedITe is reshaping the landscape of data center operations. At the core of XpedITe lies its Provisioning module, a cutting-edge component benefitting from artificial intelligence (AI) functionality. This module is engineered to automate and streamline a multitude of tasks, from planning to maintenance, revolutionizing traditional data center management paradigms. By applying AI to provisioning, XpedITe dramatically reduces the resources required for IMAC (Install, Move, Add, Change) planning, cutting down the process by up to 95%. The necessity for such innovation is underscored by the critical challenges facing the data center industry—time-consuming processes, resource inefficiency, and compliance risks. Traditional manual IMACs are prone to errors and inefficiencies, leading to significant financial and operational setbacks. XpedITe's AI-driven approach addresses these challenges head-on, offering a sustainable solution that enhances agility and reduces environmental impact. Our commitment to harnessing AI for optimization remains unwavering. We recognize that sustainability is not merely a passing trend but a profound responsibility. That's why, at a recent Data Center World event, we took a symbolic step towards offsetting carbon emissions by planting 10 orchards—a tangible manifestation of our dedication to a greener future. As we celebrate International Data Center Day, let us reflect on the transformative potential of AI in shaping a more sustainable digital ecosystem. Together, harnessing the power of technology, we can pave the way for a brighter, more efficient future.
