8 Data Center Asset Management Problems You Can't Ignore

Sponsored by DataCenterLeadGen.com

Data center asset management is an area where many enterprises could make significant improvements,

especially in solving the following problems:

1. Inaccurate Asset Location Information

The bigger the data center, the more time it takes to run around checking machines, serial numbers, and locations

2. Unknown Server Capacity Utilization

Even customers using dedicated servers in colocation facilities can benefit from information on capacity usage

to help them make their computing dollars stretch further

3. Connection Conundrum

Whether cabling is neatly tucked out of the way (good) or hanging around like so much spaghetti (not good),

it can be difficult or impossible to know where the server connection ends up by just a visual inspection

4. Warranty/Maintenance Uncertainty

A manual approach is to log all the information in a spreadsheet manually and check it daily

5. Undetermined Power/Heating Thresholds

Too many data centers have no accurate or real-time data on these key aspects

6. Air Conditioning Inefficiencies

Without knowing where these are,

data center managers are doomed to spend more on power and air conditioning where it is not needed, and risk breakdown where it is

7. No Overall View of Assets

Data centers need to be understood as a whole entity, as well as component by component

8. Static (Outdated) Reports in a Dynamic Environment

Upgrades, workload variation, and power and temperature fluctuations all call for a real time reporting solution if decisions are to be taken with accurate data
