Overview

Zenvex AI offers a Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) platform branded under the tagline "Complete Visibility, Seamless Control, Intelligent Optimization." The platform provides unified infrastructure management for modern data centers, combining real-time monitoring, intelligent analytics, and infrastructure control into a single system. It is designed to help operators prevent failures, reduce downtime risk, and maximize resource efficiency across both IT and facility domains.

The platform is offered in two distinct products:

  • S90 — Enterprise/hyperscale DCIM for large, complex deployments
  • Sprite — Serverless, plug-and-play DCIM for smaller/modular deployments
