Supervising and managing the infrastructure NTR DCIM™
The answer to the ever-increasing complexity of data center management and the constant increase in the number of IT and service devices.
Every data center owner and operator wants complete control over what is happening. The value of the equipment and the running costs are simply too great not to be constantly monitored. The data processed and stored by the IT equipment is simply too important to leave anything to chance.
The providers of the individual equipment that make up the data center do provide control and management applications for their devices, but for a good night's sleep it is necessary to have the whole picture.
The data center infrastructure management system NTR DCIM (data center infrastructure management) displays, measures, manages and monitors the operation of all devices of the data center's service infrastructure. Talk to us about your data center management challenges!
Today, without a central system for managing the supply infrastructure, you simply cannot ensure a satisfactory control of the activities in your data center. This can be seen in work processes, costs and, ultimately, in the quality of IT services, which are your primary purpose.
What you get with the NTR DCIM system
Monitoring and optimization of electricity consumption
Managing the energy balance of the data center by measuring the consumption of all devices, from IT equipment (servers, storage systems and network switches) to service equipment (energy distribution units, technical cooling system, lighting, ventilation...). This is the basis for optimizing your maximum running cost!
Data center event management
Simple and fast detection, location, visualization and management of all important events in the IT center's service infrastructure and monitoring of operating conditions. You can reduce your data center maintenance costs by up to 20 percent!
Data for higher management levels
The integration of IT service management systems with data from the supply infrastructure management system enables the improvement of the quality, availability and economy of data center services for end users.
Compliance with legal requirements
Upcoming legislation will require data center operators to accurately report electricity consumption. Data center energy efficiency measurement and monitoring is already built into the system!
Supervising and managing the infrastructure NTR DCIM™
When monitoring infrastructure we are faced with the specific problematics of various control systems. Most organizations already have an implemented central control system, while it is not entirely clear what role it plays or what it provides.
The control system is virtually always based on a distributed data acquisition system, where data from individual technological assemblies is captured on distributed pickup systems. They capture digital and analogue signals, allowing us to control analogue and digital actuators via digital and analogue outputs and collect and manage operation of the devices via bus communication. Individual control units are connected in a single network via a communication network that transmits to other systems. The system also provides a synoptic panel, which facilitates the local transmission to other systems.
At NTR we have developed a solution for the most demanding users and systems, called Data Center Infrastructure Management Software NTR DCIM™, which fully covers the control of the entire infrastructure in complex data centres.
