The Power of DCIM is Power State Normalization – Part 1
Power Management is the root of DCIM and the foundation of managing a data center infrastructure. Other management tasks are irrelevant if the primary and backup power is offline. Power management can be a complex process of monitoring and managing not just a set of devices but an array of states and paths that collectively define the state of power in your data center. This data ultimately provides the information needed to ensure resilience against power outages that affect the core of your operations and help you lower your PUE. Dependability is the cornerstone of DCIM – but beyond that, what defines an exemplary power management approach for a data […]
Power Normalization – Part 2
A powerful DCIM solution uses normalization to present a unified view of the power state of your assets, removing the need to process or interpret state and enabling you to focus on your job – managing your power distribution.
Fill the DCIM Power Gaps
Data Gaps – The hidden pitfall of Data Center monitoring. When your DCIM solution is deployed, and when every device that can be monitored IS monitored – there is a perception that monitoring has been maximized and that everything that can be done has been done – to avoid unexpected failures and downtime. That assumption is wrong. Despite great strides in the industry, not all gear supports monitoring. Using legacy gear is a significant part of the issue, but also a choice. Rack PDUs are a good example. The cost difference between an in-rack PDU with monitoring and a glorified power strip can be significant. This is particularly true if […]
