How DCMs Can Improve Productivity by 200% or More
Thought you might be interested in the article How DCMs Can Improve Productivity by 200% or More and thought I’d share a few points with you here. I’ve found some relevant information here so if I find more, I’ll be sure to pass it on.
In order to vastly improve the productivity of data centres, DCMs are using application-based solutions as well as physical tools. On the application side, data centre infrastructure management (DCIM) systems provide a unified, real-time picture of data centre operations, enabling IT teams to match resources with demand. With hardware changes and servers a regular occurrence that can eat away at productivity, server lifts and server handling standards are crucial to enabling increased productivity.
Today’s data centres are IT environments made up virtual machines, storage-area networks and cloud-based applications. While these approaches can streamline compute and monitoring operations, they still require a system that can enable overall management of all virtual and physical assets. That means having a technology that enables going beyond compute system management to include environmental and power consideration needs. DCIM systems are often integrated with management tools, allowing administrators to monitor dynamic IT environments at the infrastructure level to give them visibility into power utilisation and cooling needs.
In addition, a DCIM solution allows tracking of the various steps in relocations so that different groups are able to report status of their individual tasks in order to verify that all required steps have been completed. In this case, workflow functionality will coordinate the server installation steps so that all preparatory work has been completed before the technician installs the server in the rack, thereby streamlining the entire process.
