DCIM for Data Center Design Time

Today’s Data Center environment is evolving rapidly, forcing owners and operators to focus their investments in a few key areas.  Five of the most important areas of investment that data centers should consider today are:
> Integrated Data Center Management
> Analytics
> Security
> Sustainability
> Metrics and Benchmarks

Integrated Data Center Management in a New World

In recent years, the demand for data centers has skyrocketed as more and more businesses and individuals rely on digital technologies to store, process, and access data. However, the energy consumption of data centers has also increased, making them a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions and climate change. Many data center operators are turning to innovative technologies and practices to improve energy efficiency and reduce their carbon footprint to address this. One such approach is integrating a Building Automation System (BAS) with a Data Center Infrastructure Management System (DCIM).

A BAS is a centralized control system that manages and controls a building's environmental conditions, including heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC), lighting, and security. By monitoring and adjusting the building's systems in real-time, the BAS can improve energy efficiency, reduce waste, and improve occupant comfort and safety. Conversely, a DCIM provides centralized management and monitoring of a data center's IT and physical infrastructure, including power and cooling systems, server utilization, capacity planning, and environmental conditions.

By integrating a BAS with a DCIM, data center operators can monitor and control the energy usage of the IT equipment and the building infrastructure. This allows for more efficient resource use, reduced energy waste, and lower operating costs.

Accelerating Sustainability Through Integrated Data Center Management

Join Nlyte Software and RF Code for an enlightening webinar on "Data Center Asset Accuracy Matters." In today's data centers, precise asset management is crucial, yet many operators struggle with or are unaware of inadequate inventory systems, leading to a significant accuracy gap. Less than a third can accurately match critical asset inventory within specific facilities, complicating audit efficiency, risk and compliance, and sustainability reporting.

Learn about the transformative power of Sensor-Enabled DCIM (Data Center Infrastructure Management), which offers a continuously updated view of your enterprise data center's state and enhances IT asset management efficiency. We'll explore the definition, elements, and benefits of Sensor-Enabled DCIM, supplemented with asset definition insights from Nlyte Software and inspiring customer success stories.
