XpedITe TenantBridge: A breakthrough in financial sector colocation visibility

An organization referred to here as GlobalFinance, a leading force in the financial sector, faced a persistent operational gap due to limited, real-time visibility into its data center environment. Without granular insight into power usage and environmental conditions, operational teams faced major risk planning, capacity forecasting, and incident resolution constraints. It became clear that closing this gap would greatly reduce risk, improve efficiency, and maintain a competitive edge, particularly in an industry where uptime and compliance are non-negotiable.

As detailed in our latest white paper, RiT Tech partnered with Equinix to implement XpedITe TenantBridge—part of our Universal Intelligent Infrastructure Management (UIIM) framework that unifies operational data from colocation providers and their tenants. This was installed at one of GlobalFinance’s U.S.-based Greenfield facilities. This marks a major step forward in operational oversight for the financial sector and opens the door to significant efficiency gains, from reduced downtime to tighter control over capacity-related costs.

What makes this integration a step-change in financial-sector data center management?

The consolidated, real-time view of power, cooling, and environmental metrics that TenantBridge provides allows for automated alerts on excess energy use and supports far more proactive planning for demand peaks. By consolidating all data center metrics into one platform, operators can better respond to potential issues such as temperature spikes or unusual power draws, enabling engineers to resolve problems long before they escalate. This frees teams to focus on more proactive measures that further minimize downtime and speed up incident resolution.

This unified view also empowers GlobalFinance to manage capacity with exceptional accuracy, avoiding overage charges and keeping usage within contractual limits, all without the need for direct power meters. That continuous visualization of real-time consumption data alongside detailed capacity reports and precise environmental and power logs also provides audit-ready records that adhere to tough financial-sector reporting requirements. Collectively, this provides an excellent foundation for far more cost-effective and compliant operations.
