StruxureWare for Data e Data Center OperationStruxureWare Data CenterOperationA new level of business intelligence foryour data centerA DCIM applicationData Center Operation enables vendor-agnosticinventory management within your data centerphysical layout, as well as recommendations onhow to resolve issues.With its capability of communicatingwith building, enterprise and networkmanagement systems, Data CenterOperation optimizes energy and costefficiencies and aids in short - and longterm planning and provisioning of datacenter equipment and resourcesData Center Operation forms the base layerof software, available either as an enterpriseor a colocation base module, which othermodules and enhancement options can beadded onto.StruxureWare Data Center OperationAT A GLANCE A inventory management device which showsdata within the physical layout for instant access todevice details and asset attributes, and overview ofdata center operations. A location-based drill-down view provides astructured overview of data center locations, froma global to local view down to single assets. A network management tool offering support forcomplete routes and patch panel to patch panelmapping.Base applicationsProduct modules &enhancement optionsData Center Operation is a scalable DataCenter Infrastructure Management (DCIM)framework that can run on any physical orvirtual server. The Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) calculatorsupplies information on daily utilization of energy. Track all cage and facility equipment changesover the data center lifecycle, ensuringtransparency and easy identification ofmaintenance requirements. Allows the user visibility into the data centerassets, power usage and power capacity using anHTML5 compatible browser. Delivers key data center capacity parametersstraight to a wireless device such as Apple iPhone,iPad, Blackberry, or Android-based smart phonedevices.
StruxureWare for Data e Data Center OperationStruxureWare Data CenterOperation for ColocationAsset and cage space management for anoptimized multi-tenant data center.Data Center Operation for Colocation enablesvendor-agnostic inventory management withinyour data center physical layout, as well asrecommendations on how to resolve issues.VisualizationVisualize new cages during the pre-sales phasefor planning potential new customer cages andsupporting the sales processOptimizing the multi-tenant data centerData Center Operation for Colocation transforms theway that multi-tenant providers are doing businessby optimizing data center capacities and businessprocesses, which in turn frees up valuable time tofocus on developing the business.AT A GLANCE The application provides multi-tenant providerswith a real-time status of their current data centercapacities, in terms of data center power, cooling& space, and the ability to drill down further andidentify any constraints for expansion. With cage space management the data centeroperator can import CAD drawings, apply gridbased naming for floor mount equipment, utilizecage drawing tools and cage power modeling andvisualize the solution in 3D. Facility maintenance is made easy through acomplete audit trail on all facility equipment andcages, the ability to create and track maintenanceschedules by equipment and use impact analysisto ensure redundancy is maintained duringmaintenance.Data Center Operation for Colocation extendsthe usage of DCIM tools to the multi-tenant salesprocess, where it provides instant visualization ofspace available for selling on to tenants, brokendown by used, reserved and available capacity, andidentifies how much is required going forward.This expands the user group of DCIM into thefront office of the business - making it a driver forbusiness development. The open system integrates tenant billinginformation into the DCIM system for mappingtenant assets, providing detailed power draw, totalenergy footprint and access to an instant impactanalysis at the tenant level. Allows the provider to provide tenants withvisibility into their own assets, power usage andpower capacity usage without having direct accessto the provider’s local network. Allows the user visibility into the data centerassets, power usage and power capacity using anymodern web browser.
