Auragine partnered with a Tier III data center to address risks in their Building Management System (BMS) and OT networks controlling HVAC, power distribution, and fire suppression. The assessment began with a holistic OT risk evaluation, combining asset inventory, network mapping, and threat modeling aligned with IEC 62443 and NIST CSF standards. The team discovered exposed BMS controllers, weak authentication mechanisms, and insufficient monitoring protocols that could have led to overheating and critical system downtime.

To remediate these risks, Auragine deployed network segmentation, anomaly detection, and robust RBAC policies, along with detailed remediation roadmaps for both executive leadership and technical teams. The project not only mitigated operational risks but also improved the data center’s regulatory alignment with ISO 27001 guidelines, ensuring both operational continuity and audit readiness. The client gained actionable insights, enhanced security posture, and a repeatable process for ongoing OT risk management.

A hyperscale data center with multiple fluid cooling loops engaged Auragine to optimize energy efficiency while maintaining regulatory compliance. The facility’s PLCs and BMS systems were functional but lacked integration with advanced monitoring and predictive controls.

Auragine implemented real-time telemetry aggregation, anomaly detection, and predictive flow optimization. The system dynamically adjusted pump speeds and valve positions based on server load, ambient temperature, and historical flow data. Additionally, the OT network was segmented, and secure authentication was enforced to prevent unauthorized manipulation of the cooling loops.

Outcome: Optimization efforts delivered a 15–18% reduction in energy consumption, smoother temperature regulation across racks, and enhanced OT cybersecurity posture. The predictive analytics framework allowed operators to anticipate cooling issues before they impacted critical systems, reducing maintenance costs and downtime risk.

Auragine partnered with a cloud-edge data center located in a semi-arid region with high daytime temperatures and cooler nights. Unlike conventional free cooling projects, the facility’s challenge was balancing thermal efficiency for high-density server racks while reducing dependency on both chillers and fluid pumps, all within a limited water budget for evaporative cooling systems.

The existing infrastructure included fluid coolers, water-cooled chillers, and modular air handling units, but operations were largely manual. Operators were unable to dynamically switch between free cooling, economizer-assisted cooling, or hybrid water-chiller modes based on real-time conditions, which led to periods of overcooling during night hours and excessive water consumption during peak heat.

Auragine designed a hybrid optimization framework, combining:

• Predictive ambient monitoring using outdoor temperature, humidity, and wind patterns
• Dynamic fluid loop control, integrating variable-speed pumps and intelligent valve modulation for fluid coolers
• Automated hybrid cooling algorithms that determined the most efficient cooling mode at any hour, prioritizing free cooling when conditions allowed
• Sustainability controls, limiting water usage while maintaining thermal stability for high-density racks

Simultaneously, the OT network controlling the fluid coolers and pumps was segmented and secured, with secure HMI access, anomaly detection, and automated alerts to prevent operational or cyber mishaps.

Outcome:

Achieved a 35% reduction in combined energy and water usage, without impacting server inlet temperatures

Increased free cooling utilization by 60%, while maintaining uptime during peak load events

Introduced hybrid predictive optimization, allowing the data center to autonomously switch cooling modes based on environmental data, reducing operator workload
