NE-M01 Mesh Nebulizer. ECG1212G Electrocardiograph. E6 Electrocardiograph. Apr 25, 2019 Business Drivers for DCIM Organisations adopt DCIM for a range of reasons, either as part of a major datacentre build or expansion project or in response to other business drivers. DCIM’s ability to deliver tangible improvements in availability, operating efficiency and management accountability are crucial to determining a compelling.
DCIM stands for Data Centre InfrastructureManagement and describes a software-based platform that enables visibility andcontrol over all aspects of datacentre infrastructure from fundamental physicalfacilities such as power and cooling to IT equipment (e.g. servers, switches,storage arrays etc.).
DCIM has been a mainstay of advanceddatacentres for nearly 10 years and become increasingly mainstream in responseto changing market drivers and other factors. But what is DCIM and why is itrelevant? What benefits does it bring and how?
DCIM provides managers with the intelligent,automated means of operating their unique datacentre environment for greatestadvantage. It is an essential part of the datacentre operator’s toolkit.Top-line benefits include:
- Increased datacentre availabilityas risks to uptime are anticipated and alerted.
- Increased datacentre energyefficiency, translating directly into reduced running costs and environmentalimpact.
- A centralised point of control formanaging datacentre assets and undertaking necessary equipment changes,alleviating admin wastage and freeing up time for data centre professionals tospend on more strategic activities.
- Informing optimum businessdecision making through up-to-date, visual information about the historic andpresent status of the datacentre environment and its projected demands.
Organisations adopt DCIM for a range ofreasons, either as part of a major datacentre build or expansion project or inresponse to other business drivers. DCIM’s ability to deliver tangibleimprovements in availability, operating efficiency and managementaccountability are crucial to determining a compelling business case for DCIMinvestment.
Change events include:
Cost reduction exercises
A common motivating factor for DCIM is a widercost reduction effort targeting the IT and/or facilities departments of anorganisation. Electricity costs represent a conspicuously significant budgetitem for datacentre users, so it is not unusual for CFOs and FDs to targetmarginal efficiency improvements that could result in tens or even hundreds ofthousands of pounds over a typical investment period.
Best practice isto undertake a regular PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness) assessment to benchmarkand identify future improvement paths.
Organisations are also rightly concerned thatenergy costs are prone to increase over the long term. This could expose thebalance sheet to a disproportionate extent if not properly controlled andoptimised through a DCIM solution, sooner rather than later.
Strategic risk assessments
A datacentre represents mission-criticalinfrastructure that, if compromised, could seriously damage its organisation.As organisations become more attuned to the potential risks and consequences –perhaps as a result of recent business growth – DCIM becomes an attractive wayof understanding and mitigating them.
DCIM’s value in managing risk centres aroundits ability to monitor key environmental metrics such as temperature andmoisture, as well as managing the fire suppression and physical door entrysystems. Organisations without DCIM find it more challenging to manage theserisks efficiently and effectively.
Corporate social responsibility objectives
Concerns about climate change and theenvironmental impact of unnecessary energy consumption have drivenorganisations to instill corporate social responsibility (CSR) within theirbusiness missions. These cross-cutting initiatives empower business leaders to,amongst other things, remove pollutants and reduce carbon emissions.
DCIM is critical to achieving this, both atthe outset (through an initial ‘wave’ of efficiencies) and for the long-termlife of the datacentre, enabling managers to test and measure increasinglyinnovative approaches to extract marginal gains.
Digital transformation
As more organisations pursue digital agendas,they evolve their underlying datacentre environments to become more denselyarchitected, virtualised and software driven. The result is a substantiallymore dynamic, ‘organic’ datacentre environment that is capable of achievingbusiness goals. However, managing it all and planning for additional capacitycan be a significant challenge, which is where DCIM comes in.
Enhanced governance and compliance coverage
All organisations, particularly those inhighly regulated sectors that attract specific compliance requirements arounddata management, operate under some form of governance structure. The better the governance, the better theorganisation’s ability to not only manage its resources and processeseffectively, but also to be seen to manage them effectively.
A lack ofdatacentre governance can mean severe financial and legal non-compliancepenalties, as well as a lost opportunity to optimise business andinfrastructure management.
The impact of DCIM is invariably animprovement in visibility; illuminating those critical datacentre assets andprocesses that were formerly in complete darkness.
Increased business performanceand agility
For organisations that wish to harness thepotential of their datacentres, the holy grail is a combination of uptime andagility. Reducing unplanned downtime to zero has a direct benefit to thebusiness bottom line, inspiring customer loyalty and enabling growth. Themaximisation of business agility – being able to respond immediately andappropriately to new opportunities and threats – is central to achievingcompetitive advantage. DCIM has a massive part to play in achieving thesegoals.
DCIM is a very hot area at the moment becauseso many factors are converging to create a ‘perfect storm’ for its adoption:
IT departments are becoming‘service providers’
The advent of cloud computing and newconsumption models for IT has not only changed the face of datacentres, butalso the mindset for those who manage them.
IT departmentsare increasingly positioned as ‘service providers to the business’ rather thana cost centre that eats money.
This change creates the imperative to generatevalue. DCIM is a great tool for identifying opportunities for increasedbusiness value, and for reflecting this to business stakeholders who don’t havean advanced knowledge of datacentre environments.
The growth in big data analytics
Business intelligence (BI) and managementinformation (MI) are tried and trusted concepts that rely upon accurate, timelyinformation to inform the right actionable business decisions. The trend toward‘big data’ has underlined the importance of BI/MI and this is harnessed by DCIMplatforms that are capable of interpreting very large quantities of real-timeand historic data.
Data visualisation and mobility
It’s fair to say there has been a bit of abreakthrough in how data is represented visually, enabling managers to act uponlarge, very complex datasets without reading through reams of dry reportsformed of words and numbers on a page. What’s more, DCIM platforms are bringingthis to your mobile device in a myriad of engaging and interactive ways, sothat you can just press an icon on your tablet to perform an action fromwherever you are.
Reduced barriers to access
Whereas DCIM once had a reputation for beingthe sole preserve of mega-corporations with large datacentre assets, today’sreality is for a far larger addressable market. Even small organisations withcomparatively modest comms room deployments can find compelling ROI from a DCIMinvestment suited to their unique needs.
IT and facilities are one
DCIM’s ability to manage a datacentre’sphysical infrastructure and IT infrastructure through a single system mirrorsthe sea-change organisations have experienced in who manages these assetsinternally. In the past, IT and facilities/estates professionals wouldfrequently clash over who was in charge of what in the datacentre environment,leading to duplication of effort or gaps in management oversight. DCIMsimplifies management processes so those risks and confrontations are averted.
Cost pressures
With the exponential growth in data impactingthe scale requirements of datacentres, IT departments are under increasingpressure to accommodate more for less or same budget as before. This compoundsthe pressure to find savings from the operational budget, and to collateauthoritative, complete evidence to demonstrate that available efficiencies arebeing maximised.
Software defined datacentres
Driver Contact Number
The rapid transformation of the datacentrefrom a static repository of interconnected IT components to a dynamic,software-defined hybrid cloud environment is arguably the biggest driver forDCIM adoption today. DCIM also supports the increased automation ofdatacentre-related functions and allows planners to test out any number ofwhat-if scenarios before implementing further change.
