Modules for DCIM
OpenData® Assets Module
OpenData® Assets Module
Beyond spreadsheets or cumbersome CMDB implementations for managing data center infrastructure, the OpenData Assets Module was designed specifically to address the documentation and management requirements of data center facilities and the IT equipment they support.
OpenData’s virtualized assets model real-world equipment and can fill in gaps where monitoring is incomplete. This enables what-if scenarios and device-failure simulations, as well as advanced planning and comparison.
Module Highlights
