In an environment of constant change

Increasing availability expectations

Regulatory requirements

Uncertain planning for capacity or density

Cloud computing

Energy efficiency

Virtualization

Metrics and reporting Server consolidation

Increase density

Data center managers need accurate and timely information to

make better decisions in real time

Energy and service cost control

Dynamic power variation


Data center management challenges

Balance the demands of availability and efficiency through out the data

center lifecycle


Require effective data center management

Physical

Lifecycle

Data Center Infrastructure

Management (DCIM) systems collect

and manage data about a data center’s

assets, resource use and operational

status throughout the data center

lifecycle.

This information is then distributed,

integrated, analyzed and applied in ways

that help managers meet business and

service-oriented goals and optimize

the data center’s performance
