The State of Modern Data Center Operations

Today’s data centers are expected to deliver constant uptime, airtight security, and lightning-fast service. But the reality is often more chaotic. Teams are managing a growing mix of infrastructure, applications, and vendors, while navigating a maze of disconnected tools, spreadsheets, and manual tracking.

Meanwhile, the stakes keep rising:

  • Cybersecurity requirements are more demanding
  • SLA expectations are tighter
  • Breaches and outages are more costly
  • Lean teams are stretched thin

It’s no wonder data center leaders are looking for a more sustainable, scalable approach.

The Cost of Disconnected Tools

When your infrastructure monitoring system doesn’t talk to your ticketing platform, or when your badge access logs live outside your incident management system, response times suffer. Issues escalate before they’re even seen. Audit trails go incomplete. Technicians are dispatched without full context. Root cause analysis becomes guesswork.

Disconnection isn’t just inefficient. It’s a liability.

A Unified Platform for a Complex Environment

Platforms like ServiceNow are built to break down silos and centralize operations. Bolt Data extends that capability for the real-world complexity of data centers.

With Bolt Data’s ServiceNow solutions, you can:

  • Track physical and virtual assets (servers, HVAC systems, etc.) in one place
  • Monitor environmental conditions with sensor integration
  • Automatically create and route tickets when thresholds are crossed
  • Manage access, workforce assignments, inventory, and service logs in a single system
  • Ensure every change is reflected in the CMDB for complete asset integrity

It’s not theory. It’s operational peace of mind.
