RACKWISE Data Center Manager (DCM) is an enterprise class software solution. It enables Visualization of your entire data center infrastructure from the data center through the rack to devices and components within those devices. Full Documentation is built into the system for managing today’s complex environments. Modeling, and unlimited “what if” scenarios are core parts of the software. Data Center Manager (DCM) provides the ability to analyze data in tabular and graphical formats. Make informed decisions, enable day to day efficiencies, and operations necessary for proactive Management of the data center with DCM.

Visualization provides a dashboard display for a high level view of the data center. Selectable layers can be added to display power consumption, heat generation, current, and either power or signal port availability. Additional layers can be added to display door swings, hot cold aisles, location and density of perforated tiles, etc., to create truly customized displays. Users can drill through to greater detail, from the data center, to the rack, to the device, and components, including: blades, power supplies, drives, etc.

Documentation provides clear and descriptive reporting on the IT infrastructure. Customizable reports detail what resources are used and summarized per row and data center. Custom properties can be used to show how devices relate to applications. Standard reports range from an assembly report that provides step by step instructions to assemble and cable a solution, to connectivity reports, power consumption, environmental reports, and asset management reports. All reports can be customized to data center, row, rack, or custom grouping.

Modeling allows the user to perform unlimited “What if” scenarios. RACKWISE DCM quickly determines the impact of data center consolidations, or the resource consumption associated with new data centers. The user can make detailed comparisons of proposed equipment upgrades versus the current environment. Optional trend and historical reporting provides crystal clear visibility into where resources are being consumed over time, and when they’re likely to be exhausted.

Analysis provides instant access to critical information and enables decision making capability on key data center issues. Direct access to information such as availability of space, power, heat and cooling, port availability, and remaining weight capacity in racks, allows the user to make critical decisions with confidence. Advanced Power Management, provides the ability to peer into the power system, understand the redundancy levels of critical servers, and other equipment. The advanced power and reporting package also provides full understanding of the impact of power source, UPS, or PDU shutdowns. Further the system determines if the remaining power infrastructure will be over taxed in the event of an outage, resulting in a cascading failure situation.

Management capabilities allow the user to deploy and decommission devices quickly and easily. Track equipment through receiving, staging, commissioning, decommissioning, and storage. In addition, RACKWISE DCM tracks changes to the data center infrastructure at the data center, rack, and device levels. Custom properties can be used to map applications or other information to devices, providing a clear understanding of what impact the shutdown or failure of the device will have. Planning for new equipment is greatly simplified with RACKWISE DCM’s ability to locate and reserve space, power, cooling, ports, and weight load availability. Additionally, sophisticated searches can be made to locate physical infrastructure components based on your search criteria.
