CloudSino partnership

What you get

• Floor and Device layers: the CloudSino asset list becomes racks and devices in 3D, with the import check list on top: U overlaps, overweight cabinets, unknown models, and warranties ending within 12 months taken from the asset’s warranty field.
• Power layer: UPS, panel and PDU records become the one-line diagram with A/B colours. Click any node → Fail → which cabinets go dark, which services stop, what overloads.
• Air layer: temperature and humidity history from CloudSino monitoring colours the rack inlets; stop an air conditioner and minutes to 27 / 32 / 35 °C are estimated.

What we read (today)

CloudSino export field	DC Sim sheet.column	Layer
Asset name / hostname	Devices.name	Device
Brand + model	Devices.model, matched to the catalog	Device, Power, Air
Cabinet	Devices.rack, Racks.rack	Floor
Starting U	Devices.u	Floor
Asset type (server, switch, storage, UPS, PDU, air conditioner …)	Devices.role; facility rows also go to the Power or Cooling sheet	Device, Power, Air
Serial number; owner (负责人); warranty end (质保到期); business system (业务)	Devices.serial, owner, warranty_end, runs	Device
Cabinet list: row, position, U height, rated power	Racks.row, position, height_u, max_kw	Floor, Power
Power equipment: UPS, panels, PDUs with rating and upstream source	Power.name, type, rating, fed_from, feed	Power
Air conditioners: cooling capacity, served area	Cooling.name, type, capacity_kw, serves	Air
Port-to-port links, if exported	Cables.from_device, from_port, to_device, to_port, type	Cabling, Network
Monitoring history: temperature, humidity, power, UPS load / battery / runtime	Readings (time, item, metric, value) with metrics inlet_c, humidity_pct, power_w, ups_load_pct, ups_battery_pct, ups_runtime_min	Air, Power

Chinese column headers are accepted alongside English ones — 负责人, 质保到期 and 业务 are built-in synonyms — and GBK-encoded files read correctly. Brand and model text not in the catalog becomes a plain box tagged “identify later”.

What we will read / write back (roadmap)

Item	Status
Live, read-only connector to CloudSino monitoring in the DC Sim agent (temperature, power, UPS values on a schedule)	Roadmap (today: CSV export)
Asset sync: CloudSino assets and cabinets → devices and rack positions automatically; each sync produces a change list	Roadmap
CloudSino alarms → DC Sim alarms with advice	Roadmap
Write back: a DC Sim design into CloudSino’s asset import	Roadmap

Setup

1. Export from CloudSino. Export the asset list, the cabinet list, the power and cooling equipment lists and a monitoring-history report (CSV or Excel), each with the fields in the table above.
2. Map the columns. Download the DC Sim Excel template: assets → Devices, cabinets → Racks, UPS / panels / PDUs → Power, air conditioners → Cooling, links → Cables, history → Readings. Headers match case-insensitively with English and Chinese synonyms, so rename only what the importer cannot guess.
3. Import. Import → preview → report → apply. Up to 10 MB per file, 50,000 rows per sheet, values only; bad rows are listed and never block the import.
4. Read the check list — U overlaps, overweight cabinets, breakers above 80 %, unknown models, warranties ending within 12 months — each with its 3D location; a re-upload shows what changed.
5. Ask to be told when the live, read-only CloudSino connector is ready: da@mustardseedmt.com.

Nothing inbound

Today nothing connects to CloudSino: you upload a file. The roadmap connector will run in the outbound-only DC Sim agent: one WebSocket out, no listening port, batches spooled to disk and replayed in order after an outage, and a read-only CloudSino account whose credentials never leave your network.
