This blog was posted on behalf of Jeff Brickley, Director, Data Center Services at DCIM Solutions LLC, and is part-1 of a series of blog posts about predictive simulation for the data center. …

Data centers are critical operations. The business impact of changes to the data center – like any other business critical operation – needs to be known before making the change. The Virtual Facility is a simulator that predicts the business impact of changes to the data center. This greatly reduces risk and improves IT and capacity planning.

A proactive approach for a reactive system: Predictive modeling for DCIM

During the fifth edition of Open Compute Summit, Jon Koomey (Research Fellow, Stanford University) moderated a Keynote Panel titled “…

Can you manage what you can’t measure? Is monitoring your data center really the same as modeling it? Do you make IT changes, then cross your fingers that they’ll work?

There’s an old adage that you can’t manage what you can’t measure. As data center operators flock to DCIM to gather more and more information about their facilities, there’s a danger…

Many data center facilities focus on improving the infrastructure efficiency, measured by PUE (Power Utilization Effectiveness), but a single minded focus on that metric will often yield perverse results,…

Power, IT assets, PUE and temperatures are the focus of data center monitoring today. But, Capacity (the ability of the facility to support IT equipment) is being overlooked. At any point in time, 30%…

The typical data center will lose at minimum 30% of its total compute capacity in the absence of careful coordination of the space, power, cooling and IT equipment distributions. Many have turned to DCIM tools to protect capacity that is lost as a result of data center operations.

But, DCIM tools can only monitor/track power, IT assets, temperature and space only, NOT…

At its simplest definition, Predictive DCIM is the combination of full data center simulation with DCIM. Enabling managers and operators to measure, model and evaluate every individual deployment within their data center prior and following deployment. Only Predictive DCIM ensures optimum performance of each piece of new equipment deployed whilst also balancing Availability,…

The task of a data center operator is to continuously deliver service availability, compute capacity and energy efficiency. As data centers have become more complex and more mission critical, operators have sought greater quantity and detail in their…
