Royal Bank of Scotland
• £42m fine by UK’s regulatory body, Financial Control Authority
• Bank set aside £175m to reimburse customers who lost money as a result of
being unable to access their accounts in the June 2012 IT failure

Causes of Data Center Outages
Human Errors Working in Silos Bad Capacity Planning
Visit us: www.greenfieldsoft.com
• Absence of Standard Operating
Procedures
• Ad hoc actions (poor Change
Management)
• Not applying common sense
Absence of :
• visibility of Power Chain by
Facilities & IT teams
• collaboration between two teams
• “single pane of glass” view
• Single point of failures
• No allowance provided for
weakest link in the chain
• No what-if analysis on
resource usage: overloading

DCIM Policies for Risk Management
• Defines threshold levels for alerts
• Lists conditions. If device fails
 what actions to be taken
 by whom
 back-up procedures
Visit us: www.greenfieldsoft.com
• Predictive Alerts enables migration of Business Critical Services during outages
 provides predictive alerts on potential failure of any critical infrastructure
component and
 enables timely migration of the mission critical applications from primary to DR
• With Intel Data Center Manager
 Policy-based power capping of servers: an emergency survival kit
 Alerts on CPU, memory utilization, power, temperature & air flow
