Unified platform for resilient data centre operations

Planon, the global provider of smart sustainable building management software, announces Planon for Data Centres, a purpose-built solution that helps operators safeguard uptime, reduce operational risk, and streamline mission critical operations across distributed facilities.

The launch comes at a time when pressures on data centre operators are intensifying. AI adoption, Cloud expansion, and rising computing density are pushing global demand for data centres towards a projected tripling by 2030. This accelerating demand heightens the importance of operational resilience, consistent governance, and integrated asset visibility.

Planon for Data Centres elevates proven Computerised Maintenance Management System (CMMS) capabilities to meet the standards of mission-critical environments. It brings together maintenance, compliance, asset lifecycle management and energy-related workflows across sites, while integrating seamlessly with existing enterprise systems for building, power, and energy management. This creates a single operational backbone that reduces complexity and enhances control.

By digitising procedures and automating key workflows, Planon for Data Centres minimises manual intervention and supports consistent execution across global data centre operations. Real-time alarms and environmental data feed directly into work order processes, enabling faster incident response and structured change control. Industry benchmarks show that workflow automation and mobile CMMS adoption can reduce mean time to repair by up to 50%, empowering operators to safeguard uptime while managing risk more effectively.

‘Data centres are the backbone of the digital economy. Operators tell us they need complete control over their assets, risks and performance without adding complexity,’ said Peter Ankerstjerne, CEO of Planon. ‘With Planon for Data Centres, we combine deep CMMS expertise with real-time integration across critical systems, enabling our customers to safeguard uptime, strengthen compliance, and scale with confidence.’

Planon for Data Centres supports enterprise, colocation, hyperscale, and Edge operators seeking consistent governance across multiple sites. By connecting maintenance, compliance, asset health, and energy management in one coordinated environment, Planon helps data centre organisations build resilient, future ready operations.
