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


• 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

GFS Crane with Intel DCM: The Integrated Solution

• GFS Crane DCIM

– Full suite DCIM. Capabilities include:

• Facilities Power Management • Environment Management

• Asset Management • Capacity Planning

• IT Management with Intel DCM • Alarm Management

IT Management with Intel Data Center Manager• Adds monitoring capability through IPMI, in addition to SNMP• Tracks power usage directly from servers eliminating need for power meters• Monitors real time inlet and outlet temperature of servers without temp probes• Generates temperature profiles of server racks, identifying hot spots• Allows policy-based power capping of servers: IT survival kit during emergencies• Accelerates GFS Crane DCIM implementation and reduces total cost of ownership

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


• 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
