Technology partnership

Connect data center design intent to live operations

ArchiLabs helps teams plan and validate critical-facility layouts. Modius OpenData brings together real-time intelligence across assets, power, cooling, and network systems. Used together, they can create a more continuous path from design through operations.

Data center lifecycle

Design context → operational intelligence

Connected
01

Define

Capture the design basis, asset requirements, capacity targets, and rules.

02

Design

Generate layouts, place smart components, and validate the proposed facility.

03

Connect

Map approved asset and capacity data into the operational system of record.

04

Operate

Use live infrastructure data to manage performance and inform the next change.

Two complementary systems

One lifecycle, from planned state to operating state

ArchiLabs focuses on spatial design, repeatable automation, and delivery context. Modius OpenData focuses on the real-time infrastructure intelligence needed to run critical facilities. A defined data handoff can connect the two.

ArchiLabs · Design and delivery

Create structured facility intent

Model data hall layouts, place equipment, capture metadata, test power and cooling assumptions, run project-specific checks, and generate documentation or structured exports for handoff.

  • Layout and scenario generation
  • Smart components and facility metadata
  • Capacity, clearance, and rule validation

Modius OpenData · Operations

Turn infrastructure data into action

Unify operational and IT information across assets, power, cooling, environmental, and network systems, with modules for monitoring, analytics, planning, workflows, and third-party API connections.

  • Real-time infrastructure monitoring
  • Asset, power, cooling, and capacity intelligence
  • Open APIs for connected operational workflows

Connected workflow

A practical path from concept to continuous improvement

The integration can begin with one facility and a focused data contract, then expand as teams align identifiers, ownership, update cadence, and operational processes.

  1. 01

    Define

    Capture the design basis, asset requirements, capacity targets, and rules.

  2. 02

    Design

    Generate layouts, place smart components, and validate the proposed facility.

  3. 03

    Connect

    Map approved asset and capacity data into the operational system of record.

  4. 04

    Operate

    Use live infrastructure data to manage performance and inform the next change.

Integration details—including the source of truth for each field, API endpoints, update cadence, and approval workflow—are configured for each organization and the OpenData modules it uses.

Integration shape

Connect the context that matters

The goal is not to move every field between platforms. It is to preserve the identifiers, assumptions, and decisions that make design and operational data useful on both sides of the handoff.

Assets and topology

Equipment identifiers, types, rack positions, spatial context, connections, and system relationships.

Capacity assumptions

Planned power loads, cooling zones, density targets, redundancy requirements, and reserved capacity.

Change context

Proposed versus installed records, project phases, asset moves, validation results, and approval status.

Where the workflow fits

Start with a high-value facility change

01

New data center delivery

Carry structured equipment and capacity context from early layout studies through commissioning and operational onboarding.

02

Expansion and refresh projects

Use current facility constraints to plan new racks, power, cooling, and support infrastructure with fewer hand-built data transfers.

03

Continuous capacity planning

Compare planned demand with operating conditions, test scenarios, and keep future design decisions tied to real facility context.

The value of continuity

Design teams retain operational context, while facility teams receive structured project information they can evaluate and incorporate into their workflows.

  • A clearer handoff between project delivery and facility operations
  • Less manual re-entry of asset, layout, and capacity information
  • Traceable assumptions from a proposed layout to an operating environment
  • A repeatable path for expansions, moves, additions, and changes

Plan the first workflow

Bring design automation and operational intelligence into one conversation

Start with one facility, one change process, and the data your teams currently re-enter by hand. We can map a practical ArchiLabs and Modius workflow from there.
