Data Center Infrastructure Management (D.C.I.M.)
Enterprise-class Data Center Software Manage & monitor critical infrastructure by integrating facilities and IT operations with centralized data collection providing accurate, real-time information in a useful and meaningful way.
Optimized performance, capacity and availability by 1. Enabling rapid deployment and phased expansion; 2. Inform & plan to make business decision; 3. Impact on the organization and personnel is minimized.
Integration of Facilities & IT Operations Handles All Equipment Facilities : Underneath the floor Along the walls Outside the data center All the way to the power plant. (Utility Meter, Diesel Tanks, Back-up Generators) IT : Servers, routers, etc (BMS/BAS, EPMS, SCADA, Asset Management )
Comprehensive IT & Facilities Monitoring

• Integrates data from Building Management System and Power Monitoring Systems.
• Monitors every critical point in a data center: IT equipment, environment, mechanical devices, electrical components and plumbing systems.
DCIM Solution
DCIM solution integrates and monitors: 1. power usage 2. circuit balancing 3. over current conditions 4. phase imbalance 5. over and under temperature conditions 6. alarms on any device or system which is outside predefined, user
configurable thresholds.
D.C.I.M.
DCIM provides all the information you need to manage your data center efficiently
1. Real-time, single panel view of all your critical systems
2. One data center or many data centers around the world.
3. With no guesswork out of uptime and capacity planning in deploying new assets
4. Delay or put off an expensive build-out or new construction
5. Real-time view of power & cooling systems
D.C.I.M. Deployment
o Enterprise & Internet Data Centers
o Multi-Tenant Data Centers, Co-Location (COLO) or Third-party Managed Data Centers
Data Center Issues
1. Increasing complexity and
skyrocketing energy demand & costs.
2. Tight budgets & capital expenditure limitations.
3. Running out of capacity 4. Lack of space & energy to
run the facilities.
What D.C.I.M. does?
• Provides real-time data and reports to Facilities, IT, IT Ops and C-suites
• Produces meaningful, actionable reports, alerts, business intelligence and capacity planning
• Optimize energy, space, cooling and IT Operations
Out-of-the-box Functionality
Gather all the data required The data are normalized, organized, easy-to-read, useful and actionable
Turning data into actionable information
All this data is aggregated and presented in real-time, over an easy-to-read web-based dashboard.
o - DCIM present data in graphic form, create trend logs of critical points, calculate efficiency and unused capacity, make recommendations regarding changes in system architecture which help improve performance and increase efficiency. We can utilize to make informed decisions and improve energy efficiency, maximize usage of available space, power and cooling capacity, and increase uptime.
D.C.I.M.
DCIM Is 100% browser-based 1. There is no additional software or thin client 2. It is non-proprietary and vendor-neutral 3. It complies with security standard User Access Login 1. Multiple User Access Login 2. Partition User Access Login It’s accessible by approved personnel from anywhere, at anytime.

Benefits
Plus: 1. CapEx deferrals 2. Delaying or eliminating new data center build-out or expansions 3. Capacity planning – optimize use of: Space, Power & Cooling
Benefits
Direct Value
Direct Value – actual cost reductions that can be measured and quantified
Energy cost reductions Cooling cost reductions Operation cost reduction
Indirect Value
Indirect Value –improvements that directly affect business profitability but that are difficult to attribute to DCIM processes
Improved reliability Simplified management processes Compliance achievement
Effective Thermal Management
Real-time temperature information enables both quick correction, and the ability to raise ambient temperatures.
Effective Thermal Management
PUE – Power Usage Effectiveness
PUE= Total Facility Power/IT Equipment Power
o Standard measurement of the effectiveness of the environment
o Thermal conditions are the single largest factor affecting PUE
o The average data center PUE is 2.5 o The ideal PUE is 1.0, common target is 1.6 o Accuracy as a performance indicator is
dependent on mechanical load being static
Achieving Energy Efficiency
How to reduce energy consumption
• Consolidation
• Hardware Upgrades
• Virtualization
• Power State Management
• CPU Power Throttling (Holistic monitoring needed for any of these to be effective and safe.)
Achieving Energy Efficiency
These are the following server energy reduction initiatives your company can implement.

Replaced Hardware…Consolidated servers
Ways To Reduce Power Consumption…
…based on analysis of DCIM data:
• Identifying server consolidation opportunities
• Identifying under-utilized PDUs, UPSs – and loading them so they operate in their most efficient manner
• Identifying surplus PDUs, UPSs which can be decommissioned
• Identifying unused “orphan servers” and turning them off or disposing of them
Ways To Reduce Power Consumption…
…based on analysis of DCIM data:
• Identifying the major contributors to high PUEs (often, legacy PDUs, UPSs, etc.) in the power chain for potential replacement or tune-up
• Consolidation of multiple data centers into fewer
• DCIM identifies which data centers are best done away with, and which ones are best-positioned to receive consolidation.
