Topics
• What’s DCIM & the ERP Analogy
• Why DCIM
• How DCIM Works
• How DCIM Helps
3
DCIM – by Definition
“DCIM is a system that collects and manages information about a
datacenter’s assets, resource use and operational status. This information
is then analyzed and delivered in ways that help managers meet business
objectives, service goals and optimize the datacenter’s performance”.
- Andrew Donoghue (Analyst, Eco-Efficient IT), 451 Research
Simpler Definition from GFS: DCIM is the ERP for a Data Center, helping to
allocate and optimize key Data Center resources

DCIM: Enables Capacity Planning
Capacity planning on power and space
 Capacity planning based on real-time
and historical data
 Capacity planning based on ‘What-if’
analysis
Intelligent Capacity Planning
Identifying best rack for device provisioning
and best row for rack provisioning
 Based on power & space availability, best
racks identified for new device provisioning
 Based on PDU load, best rows identified
for rack provisioning
Auto-provisioning based on available capacity

Why DCIM? The Data Center Challenge
Keeping Up With High AvailabilityKeeping Up With High Availability
Extreme Redundancies for 99.99% Uptime -> Too many assets & complex to manageExtreme Redundancies for 99.99% Uptime -> Too many assets & complex to manage
Huge Population of N+1/N+2 Equipment -> High Capital Costs & Asset Under utilizationHuge Population of N+1/N+2 Equipment -> High Capital Costs & Asset Under utilization
Chain of inter-dependent equipment -> Multiple points of failuresChain of inter-dependent equipment -> Multiple points of failures
Growing Heat Loads, Carbon Emissions & e-waste -> Sustainability IssuesGrowing Heat Loads, Carbon Emissions & e-waste -> Sustainability Issues
KW per Rack increases as more processing capacity is added -> Trade-offs: need to
support more per rack versus extra space & heat loads.

14
Power Systems Monitoring and Management
 Monitors real-time power at different levels of the power chain
 HT/LT Transformer
 Switch Gears
 Diesel GenSets
 UPS
 Row and rack PDUs
 IT Devices
 Cooling & Lighting infrastructure
 Reports power consumption for
 Entire data center
 Facility infrastructure like cooling and lighting
 IT infrastructure
 For individual devices/device groups/device classes/SBUs or customers
 Sends threshold based email and SMS alerts on power consumption
15
Data Center Environment Monitoring
 Monitors critical environmental parameters of the data center such as
 Temperature (Room and rack level)
 Return air and supply air temperature
 Humidity (Room and rack level)
 Hot spots in the data center and temperature profiling of racks
 The captured environmental statistics is analyzed and viewed through dashboards and
different reports and can also be sent as threshold based alerts on email or SMS.
16
Data Center IT Monitoring
 Apart from monitoring power consumption and environmental operating
conditions of servers, DCIM can actively monitor health, performance, resource
utilization and availability of servers.
 Based on utilization pattern, age and application type, DCIM helps to identify
retirement, replacement and virtualization candidates which can be repurposed to
reduce server footprint of the data center.
 Helps in avoiding IT downtime by sending proactive alerts on resource utilization of
IT devices to designated IT staffs.
17
DCIM: Managing & Optimizing
 Base-lining : DCIM, through real-time monitoring of critical parameters, finds out
how data center resources are being utilized and how much capacity is remaining.
Freeing up stranded capacity: DCIM provides visibility of rack space and power use,
thus minimizing stranded capacities to accommodate new IT devices.
Projecting future capacity requirement: DCIM helps to accurately forecast rise in
energy consumption, cooling and space requirements due to computing growth
 Auto-Provisioning: DCIM enables ‘auto-provisioning’ of new customers/new IT
infrastructure based on objectives and operating constraints of the data center.
18
DCIM Provides Data Center Manager KPIs
Reports & Analytics on
- Uptime and availability
- Energy efficiency and health
- Data center costs and
savings
- Capacity/Resource
utilization and availability
- Operational efficiency and
SLA Compliance

How DCIM Helps
Since DCIM Software dynamically captures information related to asset
utilization, power consumption, environmental conditions and other
parameters, it
• Helps Data Center Manager avoid unnecessary over-provisioning
• Helps plan investments and new capacity
• Helps reduce the capital costs
• Helps reduce power use and other operating costs
• Helps reduce risk of failures through critical alerts
• Helps adapting to technical and business change more easily
• Helps improvement plans through real-time metrics & dashboard

  • 15. 15 Data Center Environment Monitoring  Monitors critical environmental parameters of the data center such as  Temperature (Room and rack level)  Return air and supply air temperature  Humidity (Room and rack level)  Hot spots in the data center and temperature profiling of racks  The captured environmental statistics is analyzed and viewed through dashboards and different reports and can also be sent as threshold based alerts on email or SMS.
  • 16. 16 Data Center IT Monitoring  Apart from monitoring power consumption and environmental operating conditions of servers, DCIM can actively monitor health, performance, resource utilization and availability of servers.  Based on utilization pattern, age and application type, DCIM helps to identify retirement, replacement and virtualization candidates which can be repurposed to reduce server footprint of the data center.  Helps in avoiding IT downtime by sending proactive alerts on resource utilization of IT devices to designated IT staffs.
  • 17. 17 DCIM: Managing & Optimizing  Base-lining : DCIM, through real-time monitoring of critical parameters, finds out how data center resources are being utilized and how much capacity is remaining. Freeing up stranded capacity: DCIM provides visibility of rack space and power use, thus minimizing stranded capacities to accommodate new IT devices. Projecting future capacity requirement: DCIM helps to accurately forecast rise in energy consumption, cooling and space requirements due to computing growth  Auto-Provisioning: DCIM enables ‘auto-provisioning’ of new customers/new IT infrastructure based on objectives and operating constraints of the data center.
