Expressway Mainline: Integrated Operations for Route Data Centers and Electromechanical Equipment
For a major expressway mainline digital upgrade project, Sensaka helped build a unified operations management platform. The platform centrally manages the core data center, branch centers, IT devices, communication equipment, and power and environment facilities along the route, improving asset visibility, alarm localization, and network operation assurance.
Customer Background
The customer operates a key transportation infrastructure project covering an important expressway mainline and multiple branch centers. The project supports smart expressway construction through digital and intelligent technologies, improving road operation, safety monitoring, and operational management.
The environment includes a core data center, multiple branch centers, and a large number of IT, communication, power and environment, and electromechanical devices. The existing network device scale is approximately 2,000+ devices with expected expansion to 3,000+.
- Core data center and multiple branch centers along the route
- Approximately 2,000+ network devices, expanding to 3,000+
- IT, communication, power and environment, and electromechanical devices
- Data center tools were fragmented with each system managed separately
- Phase one OS and application monitoring already completed
- Data center tools were fragmented, with each system managed separately and no unified platform
- Network devices, IT devices, communication equipment, and power and environment facilities were maintained in silos
- Troubleshooting efficiency was low and operations were mainly reactive
- Asset and IP resource management lacked clarity and consistency
- Multi-brand and multi-type devices lacked a unified topology and business view
- Device scale along the route continued to grow, making manual management unsustainable
- Unified operations management for the core data center and multiple branch centers
- Micro-module architecture supporting automatic monitoring, alerting, and fault localization
- Full lifecycle management for route project assets
- Unified management of IT devices, communication devices, and power and environment facilities
- A customizable dedicated operations platform
- Network topology, traffic analysis, and business view capabilities
Sensaka Solution
Sensaka built a unified operations management platform for centralized management of IT devices, communication devices, and server room power and environment facilities. The platform provides device status monitoring, automated operations, topology visualization, traffic analysis, asset management, and alarm localization.
The platform supports group-level asset management, making assets visible and manageable across the full lifecycle. It integrates micro-module cabinet power and environment systems, UPS, access control, backbone communication equipment, and other resources — moving the customer from isolated system management to unified route-wide operations.
- IT devices and communication equipment
