The award-winning product, the M70 Critical Power Monitor (CPM), stands out as a pivotal advancement in power monitoring for mission-critical data centers.

The Data Centre Review Excellence Awards 2025 recognizes outstanding achievements within the data center industry and celebrates companies and individuals who are shaping the sector, displaying forward-thinking design and implementation, and championing the highest environmental, safety, and energy efficiency standards.  

Why the M70 CPM Stood Out

The M70 CPM impressed the judging panel with its ability to deliver unparalleled granularity in power monitoring, whether at the power feed, branch-circuit level, or stand-alone enclosures. It offers revenue-grade precision, real-time data, and seamless integration with BMS and DCIM platforms, empowering data center operators to maximize uptime, balance loads, and enhance energy efficiency.

The M70 CPM's innovative features truly set it apart from the competition:

• Unrivalled Data Granularity: High-resolution insights into power usage at multiple levels (power feed, branch circuit, or stand-alone enclosure).
• Industry-Leading Communication Protocols: Supports simultaneous use of multiple protocols (SNMP, Modbus, BACnet, and optional Wi-Fi), ensuring superior system compatibility.
• Innovative Temperature Monitoring: First-of-its-kind temperature monitoring, enabling real-time sensing of lug terminations and enclosure temperature to identify hot spots early.
• Single Platform for Multiple Monitoring Needs: Integrates power, energy, and temperature data into one streamlined platform.
• High Security & Reliability: Features firmware encryption, advanced troubleshooting tools, and IPv6 support for future-ready security and performance.
• Optimized Design for Speed & Efficiency: Includes a faster processor and expanded memory for real-time processing, faster data retrieval, and future firmware updates.

Speaking on this achievement, Mathew George, European Vice President of Critical Power & Key Accounts at Legrand, stated:

"Winning this award is a testament to our commitment to developing innovative, robust, and flexible solutions that meet the evolving needs of our customers. The M70 CPM represents the cutting edge of power monitoring technology.
