The Ascent Navigator platform is a data center operations and infrastructure management resource, backed by Ascent’s managed services for critical facility maintenance, remote monitoring, and is capable of integrating with multiple Building Management Systems, Building Automation Systems and DCIM tools. Through the Tuangru partnership, Ascent is now able to offer customers a ‘Day One’ integrated solution for managing both critical facility systems and IT assets.
