Modius' Monthly Digest

MESSAGE FROM OUR CEO

Well, it is 2024 already, and let me wish you all a belated Happy New Year. We are lucky to work in a vibrant, high-growth sector whose only constant is change!?

We are heading out to the Pacific Telecommunications Communications (PTC) show this month. Besides being lucky to be in Hawaii, we are excited to talk with as many people as possible about the breakthrough machine learning capability we added to our OpenData ? DCIM product line.

The challenge with ML is always what kind and quality of data you can collect, analyze, and act upon – or how much effort it takes to prepare the data for analysis. By harnessing the power of advanced algorithms combined with the rich data sets we collect in Data Centers, operators can proactively identify and mitigate potential threats, improve operational efficiency, and minimize downtime.?

If you are headed to PTC and want to know more, please reach out or?meet with us!

Craig?

President
