WHAT IS DCIM ?
• From Gartner
Data center infrastructure management (DCIM) tools
Visibility
monitor, measure, manage and/or control data center utilization
and energy consumption of all IT-related equipment (such as
servers, storage and network switches) and facility
infrastructure components (such as power distribution units
[PDUs] and computer room air conditioners [CRACs]).
Manageability
• From ANSI-BICSI
Data center infrastructure management (DCIM) is a software
application or a suite of software applications that are configured
to gather, monitor, and aggregate data from multiple sub
systems within a facility.
