Sensorium™ DCIM
Complete Visibility. Better Decisions. Greater Confidence.
Vendor-Neutral Data Centre Infrastructure Management Platform Built Around Your Infrastructure
Looking for a Powerful, Flexible, Cost-Effective DCIM Solution?
Congratulations…
You’ve Just Found it!
Introducing Sensorium DCIM – an advanced Data Centre Infrastructure Management platform that scales effortlessly from individual communications rooms to large, multi-site data centre estates. It delivers real‑time monitoring, automated control, and flexible reporting, so you can manage any facility size with confidence.
Modern data centres now produce more operational data than ever before. However, when that data flows through many monitoring systems, different vendors, and various software platforms, it becomes difficult to see the full picture.
Sensorium DCIM solves this problem.
Sensorium is designed around your infrastructure rather than tied to a single manufacturer’s hardware. It brings power monitoring, environmental monitoring, rack access control, asset management and Building Management Systems together in one intelligent operational platform.
The result is a unified view of your data centre’s health and performance.
Sensorium DCIM helps you get the most out of your data centre by delivering these core capabilities:
- Grow Without Limits – Our modular architecture supports expansion as you add devices, systems, users and locations.
- Connect Everything – A flexible communication structure lets you integrate legacy data centre hardware quickly and easily.
- Access Anywhere – Custom dashboards in a modern, web based interface give you instant visibility from any device.
- Gain Instant Clarity – Real time cabinet data, trend graphs, and alarm alerts appear the moment they’re generated.
- Optimise Capacity – You can manage assets, monitor cabinet population, and generate benchmark reports to keep utilisation high.
- Link To Building Systems – The platform connects seamlessly to your existing BMS and third party solutions, no matter the vendor.
- Navigate Simply – Interactive floor plans, drill down views, and linked digital manuals guide every user step by step.
Why Sensorium?
Every organisation operates differently; this means your DCIM platform should adapt to your operation rather than forcing you into predefined workflows. Sensorium integrates with the systems you already rely on, protecting your existing investments while delivering role specific dashboards. It scales with your environment—whether you oversee a single site or many locations—providing continuous visibility across all infrastructure.
One Operational Platform.
Total Visibility.
Sensorium consolidates all your critical infrastructure data into a single, intuitive platform.
With this unified view, you can monitor, analyse, and manage power, environment, security, and assets in real time.
Complete visibility. Better decisions. Greater confidence.
Operational Insight
When you add more systems, Sensorium becomes more valuable. Additionally, each integration supplies context that helps your teams see how different parts of your infrastructure interact and respond to change.
Integrates with:
Monitor Your Power Infrastructure with Confidence
Reliable power is essential for any resilient data centre, and Sensorium continuously tracks intelligent PDUs, UPS systems, generators, and electrical distribution in real time. By analysing historical trends, you can quickly spot energy inefficiencies, plan capacity needs, react faster, and lower risk.
Protect Your Critical Environment
Since even minor environmental changes can snowball into costly disruptions, Sensorium constantly tracks temperature, humidity, air quality, and other conditions by integrating iSensor and third‑party devices. This lets you act early to protect your critical equipment.
Secure Every Rack. Record Every Event.
Physical data security is as vital as cybersecurity. When iAccess integrates with Sensorium, the system logs each rack‑access event, ties it to operational data, creates a full audit trail, supports compliance and investigations, and boosts operational awareness.
Understand Your Assets and Capacity
You must know what equipment you have, where it is, and how it is performing. Sensorium merges asset details with real‑time operational data, enabling capacity planning, utilisation reviews, and future expansion. This way teams can make informed decisions quickly.
Create Dashboards Around Your Operation
Different users have varied priorities, so Sensorium lets you create dashboards showing the data most relevant to facilities, IT, operations, or management. The platform adapts to your teams rather than forcing them to adapt to the software.
Turn Data into Better Decisions
Real‑time monitoring is just the beginning. Sensorium also keeps historical data that lets you identify recurring issues, reveal trends, and support strategic planning. Additionally, you can customise reports to meet operational, management, or compliance needs.
Reduce Alarm Fatigue
Not every alarm requires the same level of attention. Sensorium ranks alerts by their importance, which enables engineers to concentrate on the events that matter most, reduces alarm fatigue, and speeds up response times. As a result, teams can stay focused on what truly counts.
Manage Multiple Sites with Confidence
Many organisations operate several data centres, server rooms or communications rooms. Consequently, they often struggle to keep monitoring and reporting consistent across locations. Sensorium solves this problem by delivering a single, cohesive view of all sites. This unified perspective lets teams standardise monitoring, reporting, and decision‑making from one platform.
Why Organisations Trust Sensorium?

Sensorium DCIM in Action
Bespoke Dashboards & Home Screens
Sensorium DCIM lets you create personalised dashboards and home screens that match your teams’ exact needs—delivering both power and affordability.
- ADS can design custom dashboards and home screens for individual teams or specific roles, making tailored operational views more cost-effective.
- We tailor the interface for each group. Operations teams can use graphical floor plans, while data centre managers can work with data grids, reports and dashboards.
- Sensorium uses standard web technologies, making templates straightforward to adapt and helping to keep future customisation cost-effective.
Dynamic Icon Floor Plans
Get an instant, clear view of your data centre’s health with our interactive floor plan dashboard.
- See Status at a Glance – Dynamic icons appear directly on each cabinet, showing its exact location, current state, and any active alarms.
- Spot Problems Fast – A traffic light indicator (red, amber, green) lights up whenever a metric crosses the thresholds you set.
- Dive Into Details – Below the floor plan, a data grid displays additional operational metrics such as phase loadings, PUE, and equipment data.
- Explore Deeper – Click the specially designed hyperlinks on any cabinet, row, zone, or main distribution unit to open real time and historical data for that element.
Now you can monitor, diagnose, and act on your data centre conditions without ever leaving the visual overview.
