According to 451 Research, “A data center infrastructure management (DCIM) system collects and manages information about a data center’s assets, resource use, and operational status.”
 

DCIM tools that provide this information in a meaningful manner increase Data Center, IT, and Facilities Management situational awareness, allow data center operators to make informed strategic operational decisions, and provide critical data for future investments and planning.

In this eBook, we review the most critical problems faced by data center managers today, and how DCIM solutions provide real-time views of the data center environment, infrastructure assets and their associated power, space, and energy capacity to resolve them.
