AI-Powered Data Center Operations: FNT Software & DC Smarter Deepen Partnership

Ottweiler, Germany (April 28, 2025) – FNT, a leading provider of software solutions for IT, telecommunications, and data center management, and DC Smarter, the developer of the AI-powered software DC Vision for optimizing and digitalizing data center operations and maintenance, are expanding their partnership. Effective immediately, DC Smarter’s software solution is fully integrated into the FNT software platform. This includes innovative AI features that enable efficient and transparent data center operations.

The integrated solution from FNT and DC Smarter digitally replicates all components and connections of a data center infrastructure in a digital twin. The data is provided by the FNT Command Platform, which allows intuitive, interactive access and real-time asset management of the entire data center. The DC Vision software also enables data center documentation with a single tool, eliminating workflow disruptions caused by switching between multiple systems. Through the extended partnership, data center operators now gain access to a powerful AI-supported solution for more efficient infrastructure management.

Maximum Efficiency and Compliance Security

The integration of both technologies enables greater automation, minimized compliance risks, and optimized resource usage. By leveraging artificial intelligence and modern image recognition technologies, on-site service technicians can more quickly and accurately capture and verify existing components and configurations using mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. They can directly compare target and actual states of assets, make adjustments, or update documentation. This reduces errors, speeds up audits, and enhances maintenance processes. The joint solution integrates seamlessly into existing IT asset management systems. Initial implementations are already in progress – allowing customers to benefit soon from this innovative approach.

Future-Proof Partnership for Optimized Infrastructure Management

“By integrating AI-based image recognition and automated data capture into our platform, we are elevating asset management in infrastructure operations to a new level. Our solution enables faster verification of components and installations, significantly reduces operational effort, and minimizes compliance risks,”
— Carsten Wreth, CEO of FNT GmbH

“With the full integration of our AI-powered software solution DC Vision into the FNT platform, we are setting new standards in data center management. Customers benefit from a highly modern, future-proof solution that saves both time and costs,”
— Jörg Hesselink, CEO of DC Smarter
