Data Center Infrastructure Management
Data Center Relocation Challenge: Finding the appropriate physical location for a group of servers being relocated to a data center in another state. These servers needed to be installed and fully operational on the day of arrival.
Solution: Increased cost savings and reduced downtime in the data center due to quick identification of available infrastructure and a formalized change control process.
iTRACS Products: iTRACS Physical Layer Manager and iTRACS iDiscover
Details: iTRACS worked with a Data Center Manager whose challenge was to plan for and meet all of the data center's physical and network infrastructure requirements, including:
- Identification of all cabinet locations
- Rack space utilization
- Redundant power supply
- Redundant network connections
- Logically locate the connectivity of the event
- Sufficient cooling in the rack
Since the Data Center Manager had detailed infrastructure documentation, he was able to import all parameters into the iTRACS database. iTRACS Physical Layer Manager with iDiscover was then able to quickly identify which cabinets could support the server requirements and use the provisioning tools to create all of the necessary work orders for project implementation.
