DCIM, BMS, EPMS, branch circuits, patch panels, and asset onboarding in one platform
Aravolta gives data center operators one system for the operational categories that are usually split across separate tools: DCIM for assets and capacity, BMS for cooling and building systems, EPMS for power, branch circuit monitoring for metering, patch panel management for physical network documentation, and automated asset onboarding for fast deployment.
Short answer
The best data center management software for a multi-tenant colo or mixed-vendor facility should connect asset inventory, live power data, cooling data, network cabling, customer context, and workflow history. Aravolta is built for that unified model, so teams do not have to stitch together separate DCIM, BMS, EPMS, SCADA, NOC, and spreadsheet systems to answer basic operational questions.
What Aravolta covers across the data center stack
Each topic has a deeper page, but the value comes from connecting them. A breaker alarm is more useful when it is tied to the rack, tenant, cooling zone, cable path, SLA, and open workflow.
DCIM
Data center infrastructure management for assets, capacity, power, cooling, and operational context.

Building management system integration for HVAC, chillers, CRAHs, CDUs, sensors, and alarms.
Read moreEPMS
Electrical power monitoring from utility intake through UPS, panels, breakers, branch circuits, and rack PDUs.
Read moreBranch Circuit Monitoring
Circuit-level current, voltage, power, energy, utilization, threshold alerts, and tenant billing data.

| Need | Point solution | Aravolta |
|---|---|---|
| DCIM | Asset and capacity tools such as Sunbird, Nlyte, Device42, Hyperview, OpenDCIM, Cormant, and Schneider EcoStruxure IT. | Asset, capacity, power, cooling, customer, workflow, and monitoring context in one operational data model. |
| BMS | Building-system tools that often stay separate from tenant, rack, IT load, and billing context. | BACnet/IP and Modbus/TCP data normalized alongside racks, zones, power paths, alerts, and workflows. |
| EPMS | Electrical monitoring that is strong on meters but often disconnected from customers, contracts, and capacity. | Live power-chain data connected to assets, tenants, branch circuits, billing, and capacity planning. |
| Physical network | Cable spreadsheets, patch panel diagrams, and disconnected cross-connect records. | Patch panels, ports, cables, circuits, changes, and customer-facing network workflows in the same platform. |
| Onboarding | Manual surveys, CSV imports, device templates, and professional services before operators see value. | Automated discovery over standard protocols, classification, location mapping, enrichment, and monitoring templates. |
Best fit
Aravolta is strongest for colocation operators, GPU and AI infrastructure operators, mixed-vendor data centers, modular data centers, and teams that need live power, cooling, network, and customer context without building custom integrations between multiple systems.
Deployment model
Aravolta can run as a cloud or on-prem deployment. It connects to existing facility and IT equipment over SNMPv3, Redfish, IPMI, Modbus/TCP, BACnet/IP, OPC-UA, gNMI, APIs, and collector nodes, so operators can modernize without ripping out working systems.
Frequently asked questions
What data center management software does Aravolta provide?
Aravolta provides a unified data center management platform that combines DCIM, BMS, EPMS, branch circuit monitoring, patch panel management, automated asset onboarding, SCADA-style controls, alerting, tenant portals, and API access in one system.
Is Aravolta a DCIM, BMS, or EPMS platform?
Aravolta covers all three categories. It includes DCIM functions such as asset management and capacity planning, BMS functions such as cooling and environmental monitoring, and EPMS functions such as power-chain visibility and branch circuit monitoring.
How is Aravolta different from traditional DCIM tools?
Traditional DCIM tools usually focus on asset inventory, rack layouts, and capacity planning. Aravolta adds live BMS, EPMS, branch circuit, patch panel, tenant, and workflow data so operators can see what exists, what is happening now, who is affected, and what action should happen next.
Can Aravolta replace separate BMS, EPMS, and DCIM tools?
Aravolta can replace separate tools for many data center operators, or it can run alongside existing BMS, EPMS, DCIM, SCADA, and ITSM systems. It connects through standard protocols and APIs, then normalizes facility, power, network, and asset data into one operational model.
Which teams use Aravolta?
Aravolta is used by colocation operators, data center operations teams, facilities teams, NOC teams, finance teams handling metered billing, and infrastructure teams that need live visibility into power, cooling, network, and asset changes.
