Data centers, server rooms and labs are pretty common in enterprise offices. They not only support mission critical applications and data, but also are the places where people work in. But due to issues on technology, organization, business etc., people working in data centers, often feel inefficiency, in-productivity, and in-sustainability.

Project Flowgate is trying to lessen these issues in a novel way. It is designed to integrate data from various facility systems managed by REW teams, and IT stacks managed by IT admins together. With a newly created holistic picture of the data center as a whole piece, it's promising to:

* achieve aligned culture: make people on different teams collaborate more than compete
* consume less energy: make it easy to know how much to save while keep the same or better SLA
* make environmental friendly: discharge less warmness and carbon to the earth
* improve health: people can work more productively, can focus more on real meaningful tasks
