Manage Assets and Connections Visually
• Know exactly what’s inside your data center so you can better
manage and optimize assets
• Search and locate the full data center inventory without leaving
your desk; use of symbolic library representation is like being
physically present inside the data center
• Select an asset and view all its properties, capacities, contained
devices and connections to other devices
• Create realistic floor plan models by importing AutoCAD plans
and plotting the racks on the blueprint
• View spaces and zones in an XY-tiled format to get a higher level
of precision in pinpointing devices; rack elevation view shows the
exact placement of all devices in your racks
• Divide the data center floor plan based on functions by defining
spaces, as well as zones within those spaces, so all users can
quickly differentiate which areas are for production, staging and
safety
• Search devices using the software interface instead of roaming
physically, reducing time spent by personnel inside the data
center
• Visualize the total capacity consumption via top-down view to
show where you have capacity remaining and where you are
nearing the limit
• Show the power connections between any device port and its
upstream or downstream devices; verify the status of all assets in
the same power chain
• Ensure a server’s power redundancy through power dependency
monitoring—you’ll see if two different rack PDUs are connected
to the selected device
Implement Data Center Changes with Confidence
• Avoid “on-the-fly” decisions and reduce time for implementing
data center projects
• Conduct detailed impact analysis to determine effect of planned
change, lessen risks associated with it and avoid time-consuming
rework
• Plan out a complex set of steps involved in a project (such as
server and rack moves, data connection changes, etc.) and then
implement the change against a record of progress
• Manage resource asset reservation(s) including rack space,
power capacity and outlets
• See the state of the same rack in different periods of time
through the rack timeline view
• Create standard data center processes and enforce policies with
assignment and tracking of tasks
• Reduce risks of unplanned downtime and other issues brought
by lack of coordination by providing IT and facilities teams a
unified view of projects
• Fully comply with auditing requirements using a detailed record
of changes made and the personnel accountable for specific
tasks
• Run customizable reports and export via CSV file
• Build confidence among decision makers that planned changes
are well-designed, well-documented, easy-to-follow and
executed in a controlled manner
