Automated Logic announced it has expanded its partnership with Cologix, a leading network-neutral interconnection and hyperscale edge data center company, to help rapidly implement scalable and sustainable building automation solutions for its data centers.
Cologix uses Automated Logic’s WebCTRL building automation system to control air conditioning equipment and to monitor the environmental conditions in its data halls. Facilities staff can easily gain insights using intuitive and information-rich graphics and dashboards, leading to operational efficiencies. The WebCTRL system provides a redundant design to ensure resiliency and uptime of data center assets.
Cologix began working with Automated Logic in 2017 through a strategic accounts partnership. Under the agreement, Automated Logic provides centralized management of Cologix’s building automation projects, ensuring consistent design, engineering and deployment across data centers. A local Automated Logic dealer or branch installs, services and supports each data center, based on project location.
Today Automated Logic is helping Cologix deploy building automation solutions at their data centers in California, Ohio, Minnesota, New Jersey, Texas and Virginia. In Canada, projects are underway in Toronto, Montréal and Vancouver.
“Automated Logic’s execution model provides us with a center of excellence that drives consistencies and efficiencies across our installations and aligns with our sustainability goals,” said Nathan Hazelwood, Chief Development Officer, Cologix. “As one of our key partners, Automated Logic helps us get our data centers up and running faster with a higher level of reliability.”
Last year Cologix implemented another Carrier solution, Nlyte’s Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) software, which is used to measure, monitor and manage IT infrastructure in data centers. When Nlyte DCIM is integrated with the WebCTRL system, operators can manage their facility and IT systems holistically for greater visibility and energy savings. Automated Logic and Nlyte, both Carrier companies, have built a strong portfolio of data center clients over the past decades.
“We are proud to be a trusted partner of Cologix, providing them with building automation solutions that are sustainable, scalable and easy to deploy,” said Axel Reichert, President, Automated Logic. “We look forward to our continued partnership as they expand their data center footprint.”
