How Dcim Provides A Solution For The Problem Of High Availability Without Compromising On Asset Util
The challenge of meeting High Availability targets can prove to be a nightmare for those who do not have the proper tools to manage their data centers. Data Center operators do everything in their power to ensure that their systems are up most of the time only to find themselves facing a new set of problems some of which are listed below.
•Higher power consumption
•Asset Under-Utilization
•Multiple points of failures
•Growing heat loads, carbon emissions and e-waste
In short, High Availability is inversely proportional to Asset Utilization and Energy Efficiency.
Given the rising cost of power and the rapid rate at which data is growing, companies are increasingly being forced to think about how to manage their data centers more efficiently. Data centers are becoming so complex every year they can no longer by managed by spreadsheets or 2D-object drawing applications such as Visio.
Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) is a converged IT and Facilities Management system giving data center managers a dashboard view of the data center’s physical and logical assets and ...
... also the ability to use historical data and create “what-if” scenarios to predict future requirements of power, cooling and space. Through a combination of specialized software, hardware and sensors, DCIM provides a real-time monitoring and management platform for all interdependent systems across IT and facility infrastructures.
Implementing a DCIM solution has the following advantages:
•It can measure power consumption across all devices and make recommendations for lower power usage
•It can calculate key metrics such as Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE), Data Center Infrastructure Efficiency (DCiE) and also measure Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) such as Watts per Rack
•It can auto-discover, track and map all assets both computing & non-computing
•It allows for visualization and simulation of an entire data center or even multiple data centers in one place
As a result of installing DCIM, data center operators are able to cut down the amount spent on power and cooling while making optimal use of space in their data centers. The right DCIM software can give IT Managers the information they need to prevent under-utilization of assets and over-spending on power and cooling while ensuring that their systems are in the High Availability Range. According to Gartner Research, DCIM can reduce a data center’s total operating expenses by up to 20%.
I will conclude by saying that DCIM gives data center operators the ability to meet High Availability demands without compromising on either asset utilization or energy efficiency. For more information please visit - http://www.greenfieldsoft.com/ & http://www.greenfieldsoft.com/dcim-solutions.html
