Capacity management
With integrated capacity management, you can keep track of your IT capacities—proactively, efficiently and cost-consciously. You ensure that your resources always match the service requirements (SLAs)—without losing sight of the budget. The solution not only shows you how your IT is currently being used, but also actively supports you in strategic planning. So you are ready for whatever comes next—flexibly, scalably and economically.

What capacity management can do for you
Forecasts & trends
- Plan capacities precisely with data-based analyses and observability.
- Recognize bottlenecks early and avoid risks with trends and forecasts.
- React quickly to new requirements—for stable processes.
Align resources optimally
- Avoid overload and underload by allocating resources precisely.
- Increase performance through targeted use of previously unused capacities.
- Reduce costs & act sustainably through efficient resource utilization.
Rely on planning with foresight—and make your IT future-proof.
Data center & building infrastructure monitoring
Smart monitoring of building technology:
Everything at a glance—from the room temperature to the power supply. With data center & building infrastructure monitoring, you can keep your building technology under control at all times—whether it's temperature, energy consumption or air conditioning. A stable infrastructure is the basis for smooth IT processes and secure working. Our solution helps you to identify risks at an early stage, use resources efficiently and avoid outages.

You monitor your entire building and data center infrastructure centrally—directly and in real time. This includes analyzing power consumption, controlling UPS systems, monitoring the indoor climate and integrating external systems such as building management systems or fire alarm panels. All the collected data comes together in a clear dashboard. This allows you to see at a glance whether your infrastructure is stable or whether there is a need for action. The system warns you automatically in the event of critical values—for maximum operational reliability and fast reactions.
With over 40 years of experience in monitoring data centers and building infrastructure, we know what is important: A solution that works reliably, is easy to use and can be flexibly expanded. So you are ideally positioned—today and tomorrow.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is System Monitoring?
System monitoring is a comprehensive solution for monitoring your entire IT infrastructure—from servers and applications to cloud services and data centers. It provides you with real-time insights into system statuses, performance data and potential faults in order to prevent failures and optimize performance.
Which systems and environments are supported?
System monitoring covers a wide range of IT components—from classic on-premises systems and virtual environments to cloud infrastructures such as AWS, Azure, Google Cloud or Oracle Cloud.
Applications such as SAP, Kubernetes or Citrix can also be seamlessly integrated—with over 650 ready-to-use plug-ins. In addition, USU also offers comprehensive building infrastructure monitoring. You can keep an eye on your building technology at all times—such as temperature, energy consumption or air conditioning performance. A stable infrastructure is the basis for smooth IT processes and secure operations. With USU, you can identify risks at an early stage, use resources efficiently and avoid expensive downtime.
How does USU help with error detection and correction?
Automated alarms and intelligent dashboards allow you to detect faults at an early stage. The solution offers detailed analyses and historical data to quickly identify causes and rectify them in a targeted manner.
Is the solution scalable and multi-client capable?
Yes, USU System Monitoring is fully scalable and multi-client capable. You can create individual dashboards for different teams, departments or customers and thus efficiently map specific requirements.
What are the advantages of integrated capacity management?
How is the alarm raised in the event of critical incidents?
The integrated alarm management ensures that you are informed immediately in the event of critical events. As soon as defined threshold values are exceeded, you receive automatic notifications—by email, SMS, ticket or directly in the dashboard.
This enables your teams to react quickly, avoid downtime and rectify IT faults in a targeted manner. You configure which notifications go to whom—individually, precisely and comprehensibly. In short, more security, less response time—and full control over your IT.
