Brochures and Data Sheets

The Trellis
TM
Inventory Manager allows data center
stakeholders to know exactly what assets, connections
and capacity exist in their facility and easily make changes
for optimal performance. It provides a set of graphical
visualization tools to allow the infrastructure team to map
out its floor space and understand where assets are, who
they belong to and how they are connected.
Users can collect a detailed catalog of all the inventory items that are placed in the
data center as well as understand how much capacity (power, cooling, weight and
space) is available and consumed at any point in the data center based on faceplate
or de-rated values. View capacities in any floor/space, inside any elevation (e.g., rack)
or inside the actual assets (e.g., blade chassis) with ease.
The Trellis™ Inventory Manager goes beyond inventory management and allows
teams to intelligently plan projects and track changes made. It gives both IT and
facilities teams a unified view of a project and the tasks assigned to each personnel
to avoid errors due to lack of coordination. Project managers can visualize the state
of the same rack in different periods of time through the rack timeline view. It is
the perfect tool for implementing changes in the data center, from planning and
execution down to auditing and reporting. Move inventory with ease and confidence,
knowing capacity exists where assets are placed.
With Trellis™ Inventory Manager, there is no need for spreadsheets, Visio diagrams,
physically searching the data center and endless meetings. Use it for better asset and
project management.

Benefits
• Minimize errors due to outdated or
conflicting lists of assets; maintain
only one comprehensive source of
documentation for all devices in
the data center
• Find equipment and relevant
asset data quicker through the
search-and-locate feature as well
as determine what connections
exist for a chosen asset (no more
tracing cables behind racks)
• Understand exactly what
capacities exist within the data
center, what has already been used
and what is remaining, comparing
consumption levels against
thresholds
• Plan, implement and track a
complex set of steps involved in
a project and even visualize the
change via the rack timeline view
• Build confidence among decision
makers by knowing the impact
of proposed changes (space,
power and connections) before
committing the resources to the
project
• Ensure IT and facilities teams are
on the same page, reducing risks
of unplanned downtime and other
issues brought about by lack of
coordination and multiple sources
of information
• Provide insight into what, when
and where devices are going to be
placed in all graphical views
• Utilize floor space more efficiently
when planning changes
