BlueWhale Stack's Telco & Datacenter Edition — now in preview, GA Q4 2026 — extends the platform to the physical facility: rack, row and cage inventory at U-position level, power and cooling telemetry, space and capacity planning, metered colo tenant billing and a white-label portal under your own brand — so a colocation operator sells governed cloud services on the floor it already owns.

What Datacenter & Colocation teams get

  • Bill colo tenants on metered usage through the Partner Portal
  • White-label the portal with your logo, colours and domain

Use cases

Physical + cloud inventory in one plane

DCIM inventory at U-position level — sites, racks, servers — sits in the same control plane as your public-cloud estate, so 'where does this workload run' has one answer. Modules: Inventory & Discovery, Cloud Connectors.

Power, cooling & capacity telemetry

PDU, kW and A/B feed data plus CRAC/CRAH environmental telemetry flow into Observe, with capacity planning across space, power and cooling. Modules: Observe, Inventory & Discovery.

Metered colo billing, white-labeled

Meter tenant usage and bill it through the Partner Portal under your own brand — logo, colours and domain — with Tenancy & Monetization behind the numbers. Modules: Tenancy & Monetization, Whalenomics, Identity & Access.

Operator-grade change & incident management

Access control and badging events, cross-connect changes and facility incidents run through ITSM with P0–P4 SLAs and a full audit trail. Modules: Whale ITSM, Identity & Access.

Delivered engagement — Telco & DC operators — Qatar, KSA, South Africa

Three operators that sold only space, power and links deployed the platform as their own white-label cloud service — multi-tenant, metered into their existing BSS — and reached first cloud-services revenue on capacity they already owned within months.

“We had cloud-services revenue on capacity we already owned within months. Building the platform ourselves had been scoped as a three-year programme we could not staff.”

Procurement, hosting and integration questions

01

How does DCIM data get into the platform?

Through the Edge Agent in the facility, which collects from PDUs, environmental sensors and BMCs over Redfish, IPMI and SNMP and reports over outbound HTTPS — nothing inbound (preview).

02

Can we keep our existing DCIM tool?

Yes during the transition; the platform's value is that rack, power and tenant data sit beside the cloud estate and the billing feed, which a standalone DCIM tool cannot do.

03

When is this generally available?

The Telco & Datacenter Edition is in preview with design partners now; general availability is targeted for Q4 2026. White-label resale and metered billing through the Partner Portal run today on the Enterprise platform.
