“Enable Data Center Infrastructure Management Via Critical Monitoring: Ten Proactive Strategies to Deploy Today to be Ready for DCIM Tomorrow.” I’m Thom Gall, and I’ll be your host. Once again, our webcast is certified by the International Association for Continuing Education and Training. To earn one-tenth of a CEU training credit, simply tune in for all 60 minutes of our program today, and your certificate will be e-mailed to you at the address you used to register for the program. Today, we’ll discover the leading infrastructure monitoring strategies that can improve management of capacity, energy and resources in your data center, and how these strategies can better-enable comprehensive Data Center Infrastructure Management in your facilities. I’ll first give you a brief introduction of Emerson Network Power and its Liebert products and services, then we’ll dive into our presentation.

Data Center Infrastructure Management -optimized performance
A car’s performance is optimized through– Sensors– Monitoring dashboard– Real time diagnosis and
data
You know how much fuel you have left
Alerted if you’re overheating You know if you’re running
efficiently or not
Presenter

…so we can react to that.
Data Center Infrastructure Management -optimized performance

… control, and centralized management.
If You Can’t Measure It, You Can’t Control It
Measurement
Presenter
Presentation Notes
…measurement’s really key, and
Data collection throughout the data center ecosystem
Opportunities throughout the data center to collect data to enhance management of the entire ecosystem
Presenter
Presentation Notes
…how to tweak the performance.
What do I measure?
Sensing temperatures– Precision cooling return air– Rack inlets– Rack exhaust
More precise control of cooling capacity
10 degree increase in server inlet temperature equals 21 percent reduction in cooling energy costs
Presenter
Presentation Notes
..and measurement helps us do that.
What do I measure?
Rack conditions– Access visibility Minimize human errors
– Where do I have space? Connectivity
Best practice: Segment racks by density and business critical needs
Presenter
Presentation Notes
…access to it. So, understanding rack conditions.
What do I measure?
Fluid leaks– Top cause of unplanned
downtime*
– Water pipes– Condensation– Adjacent spaces (i.e.
restrooms)
Best practice: Around all cooling systems and under rack rows

…overlooked by a lot of data center managers.
What do I measure?
Power usage– Data center input– UPS output– Floor PDU– Rack PDU
Required for capacity management and efficiency– PUE
Best practice: Intelligent Rack PDU’s

…is going to be beneficial to us.
Efficiently manage temperature set points, humidity levels and airflow
Coordinate operation of multiple units as a “team”– Mitigate over- / under-cooling
Best practice: Intelligent controls in room, row and rack cooling systems
Intelligent control
Optimize UPS system performance– Mitigate conversion “losses”
“Intelligent paralleling” can enable more efficient operation and energy optimization
Best practice: Integrate intelligent controls into all UPS systems

…best utilization out of my capacity.
Centralized alarm management system can help prevent problems before they happen
Allows for faster, more effective response to system problems
Enables analysis of equipment operating trends and development of more effective preventive maintenance programs
Managing alerts and alarms
Presenter
Presentation Notes
…are going to be critical.
Reduce energy consumption while increasing IT productivity
Track total data center consumption and automatically calculate and analyze PUE
Best practice: Rack-level monitoring provides most accurate picture of IT equipment power consumption
Monitoring energy efficiency
Presenter
Presentation Notes
…the better we can operate and perform.
Weakest link in UPS system #1 cause of unplanned downtime Preventive Maintenance visits are an
important first step Dedicated battery monitoring provides early
notifications and ensures cell deterioration is identified early enough to schedule a PM visit
Emerson survey found that customers using battery monitoring experienced half as many battery failures
Best practice: Implement monitoring system that connects to and tracks health of each battery within a string
Monitoring batteries
Presenter
