Abstract
A management system for an Internet Data Center, comprising an Information Technology and Network Management System IT&N for managing the Data Center, a Building Management System BMS for monitoring facilities related to the IDC such as access control, fire protection and intruder protection, and a Facility Management System FMS for maintaining geographical views and information about equipment, furniture and building space. The BMS is connected to the IT&N for transmitting event data whenever an event occurs, such as when a parameter associated with the event leaves a predetermined range. The IT&N comprises an Operational Support Service OSS for processing event data, defining actions resulting from the processing and transmitting commands to the BMS and/or to the IT&N in response to the defined actions.
