Leveraging information to manage your racks smarter.
The iTRACS CPIM™ platform offers robust insight into the available space and current utilization of your assets within every rack and row under management – whether you’re managing one data center or multiple data centers around the world. All rack utilization information is managed within CPIM’s central repository so you get a “single pane” view into all of your racks, with complete documentation that you can use to optimize current and future operations at a strategic level.
There is a difference between understanding utilization within a single rack – capacity, power, and connectivity – and utilization of all racks across the data center as a whole. Savvy organizations realize that focusing on individual racks alone is no longer enough – they need a deeper understanding of the complex interrelationships between all racks and cabinets to truly serve the needs of the business. These organizations are turning to iTRACS to gain complete visibility into the entire data center infrastructure as an interconnected whole.
The bottom line with iTRACS? Unparalleled interactive 3D visualization and dynamic management of your interconnected assets so you can optimize utilization of your existing cabinets and racks before you spend time and money buying additional enclosures or conducting complicated, error-prone migrations that you don’t really need.
A variety of space utilization reports are standard in CPIM, including detailed insight into:
- Utilization by enclosure
- Layout summaries
- Future layout summaries
- Contiguous space
- Power
- Weight
This detailed information can be shared with the business units in a range of report formats, so they can understand the impact their needs have on other areas of the operation. This way, everyone can work together – IT and the business teams – to create a clear plan of attack. A plan that can be executed with complete confidence that all cabinets, racks, and rows are utilized with optimum efficiency.
Commissioning assets and managing the supply chain more efficiently.
Detailed rack utilization information can be leveraged with CPIM’s powerful intelligent commissioning capabilities to quickly determine the appropriate locations where assets can be placed and speed the entire supply chain and commissioning process.
Whether you’re installing new pre-built, plug-and-play racks – or consolidating your existing racks to save space, reduce energy consumption, and lower maintenance – iTRACS software provides an automated commissioning process that speeds time-to-value.
With iTRACS, you can “commission once and deploy many” – automatically. Provisioning new assets and managing the data center supply chain has never been easier.
