Effectiveness (PUE) and cooling

system energy efficiency.

THE BENEFITS OF

USING DCIM ARE

REPLICATING

THROUGH THE

MARKET:

• 451 Research estimates total

supplier revenue for the DCIM

market will hit $1.8 billion by 2015.

• According to Gartner estimates,

DCIM tools can reduce operating

expenses by as much as 20

percent and extend the life of a

data center by as much as five

years.

• Other analysts note – for every

degree Celsius infrastructure

temperature is raised – DCIM

creates a 4 percent savings on

average for the typical energy bill.

Perhaps the biggest impact of a

DCIM system is its ability to create

a highly resilient infrastructure that

helps mitigate the risks of

downtime, without the CAPEX of

creating two infrastructures. It

removes the standard practice of

having one backup piece of

equipment for every primary

component — a costly and highly

inefficient strategy because it

requires duplicate circuits, PDUs,

UPS elements and generators.

A STRONG DCIM

TOOL HELPS:

• Ensure a resilient environment by

empowering managers to make

real-time inquiries about capacity,

and view the impact of “what-if”

scenarios to strengthen

vulnerable areas.

• Managers become proactive

through alarm and alert functions

to prevent potential failures

through real-time network

modifications.

• Create strategies for sustaining

greater workloads, while offering

trend analysis to stimulate

proactivity.

• Pinpoint peak demand and

identify when computing power

might be less expensive.

SIMPLY PUT:

DCIM is a solution with robust

analytics, easy-to-read reports and

dashboards that empower facility

managers to make critical business

decisions in real-time. The more

data points they have at their

fingertips, the faster managers can

make time and money-saving

decisions.

Once the understanding of how the

cloud works becomes clearer, it’s

easier to see that its operational

infrastructure is the same as many

large enterprise data centers.

However, unlike traditional

enterprise data centers, the cloud

has countless organizations who are

stakeholders within its processing

output. Therefore, it becomes even

more critical for these cloud

providers to ensure the integrity of

their services through IT innovation

and DCIM-enabled resiliency.
