BlackvaultMonitor
Continuous health across mixed OT/IT sources — SNMP, Modbus, building management, network management — with prioritized alerts you can act on, and none you can't justify.
Data center infrastructure engineering & AI
Infrastructure, engineered to hold.
Blackvault Engineering Group designs, standardizes, and governs the critical infrastructure that keeps a site online — network rooms, carrier hand-offs, backup power, cooling, and cabling — plus the AI-driven monitoring and automation that keeps it healthy.
Standards-based design. Written sign-off. No informal exceptions.
Why it matters
Invisible when it works. Site-shutting when it doesn't.
The rooms, racks, power, cooling, and cabling behind a site's network rarely get attention until they fail. Catching a design problem before it's built costs a fraction of fixing it after concrete is poured or cable is pulled — and one consistent standard means every site can be built, audited, and serviced the same way.
What we cover
Five layers, plus the intelligence on top.
Network Rooms & Racks
The main network room, distribution rooms, and racks where a site's network lives — layout, capacity, and build standards.
Carrier Entrance & Hand-off
The exact point where the carrier's circuit meets your network — built, grounded, labeled, and powered right.
IT Power
UPS and battery systems sized on real load, so a utility outage doesn't become a network outage.
IT Cooling
Cooling capacity validated against the actual room, before the design is approved.
Structured Cabling
Copper and fiber pathways designed within standards limits — with a documented path for exceptions.
AI & Automation
Monitoring, forecasting, and automation across every layer — so problems surface before they become outages.
AI & automation
AI that works on the infrastructure, not around it.
The same layers we design get instrumented, watched, and improved. We build production-grade AI and automation that plugs into your power, cooling, and network data — with human approval on anything irreversible.
Optimize
Capacity, power, and cooling forecasting plus lifecycle and cost intelligence across CapEx, OpEx, and labor — defensible numbers drawn from your own data.
Automate
AI agents and integrations that do real work — triage, ticketing, reporting, remediation — phased notify → assist → act, with human-approval gates.
- Power: live UPS load and battery health feed replacement planning.
- Cooling: trend data flags rooms drifting toward their limit before the gate check fails.
- Cabling & network rooms: fleet patterns become standards updates, not one-off repairs.
- Operations: incident triage and reporting run faster, with an audit trail.
Services
How we can help.
Engineering Services
Design and review for the five infrastructure layers.
Operational Services
Severity-based response, escalation, and a clean path for deviation sign-off.
Supply Chain & Vendors
Vendor qualification, RFP evaluation, and approved product catalogs.
Lifecycle Management
UPS planning, battery governance, end-of-life, and clean handoffs to operations.
Product Certification
Safety and standards assessment before you buy at scale.
R&D and Innovation
Pilot new approaches safely, then fold what works into the standard.
Built on standards
Industry standards first. Our margins on top.
Every design references established standards. Any Blackvault threshold is at least as conservative as the industry minimum — never a substitute for it.
| Layer | Industry standards we design to |
|---|---|
| Network room design | ANSI/TIA-942 · BICSI 002 · EIA-310 |
| Carrier hand-off | ANSI/TIA-568 · BICSI TDMM |
| IT power | NFPA 70 (NEC) · IEEE 1100 · Uptime Institute Tier Standard |
| IT cooling | ASHRAE TC 9.9 thermal guidelines |
| Structured cabling | ANSI/TIA-568 · ANSI/TIA-598 · BICSI 002 |
How we work
A deliberate, four-step path.
- 1
Assess
Understand the site, the load, and the constraints.
- 2
Design
Build to industry standards with sensible safety margins.
- 3
Validate
Check the design against the real room, not a template.
- 4
Hand off
Deliver documentation your operators can actually use.
