Two protocols came up at the Radix IoT booth at Yotta that rarely surface in facility monitoring conversations: Redfish and NTP.
Both come from the IT side of the data center. Redfish is the standard servers use to report their own health, power draw and temperature. NTP keeps clocks in step across systems, which starts to matter the moment a team tries to line up an alarm on the cooling plant with an event in a rack.
Operators asking about them at a facilities booth says something about how data centers are being run. The cooling plant, the power chain and the hardware they serve are increasingly treated as one operation, and the teams responsible want the data to line up the same way.
Thanks to everyone who stopped by the Radix IoT booth at Yotta.
