You have 10 days to go live.
Your vision of the ideal data center undoubtedly includes speed, agility, cost efficiency, and generating continuous business value for the enterprise.
But you’ll never get from here to there if you’re managing your assets in a vacuum – without a centralized control system that lets you intuitively manage the ever-changing interconnectivity between assets, people, and processes. Before you can optimize your data center, you need to get control over your physical assets. And if you think simply listing your assets in a spreadsheet provides you with the control you need, our advice is simple: think again.
iTRACS gives you the control you need.
Our Converged Physical Infrastructure Management™ (CPIM™) platform offers intuitive, holistic control over the intersection of technology, people, and process that lies at the heart of your data center’s ability to return value to the business – an intersection that changes fluidly on a daily, hourly, sometimes minute-by-minute basis. At the core of CPIM is a real-time repository of IT physical infrastructure information, encompassing equipment (including components), connectivity (power and network), location, and operational data. Because CPIM software can see all assets and their interrelationships using this master database, it can:
- Free you to manage and optimize the data center with point-and-click ease
- Provide automated workflows for many tasks that other systems make you handle manually
Why do it when iTRACS can do it for you?
With conventional data center infrastructure management tools, attempting to execute data center initiatives like virtualization or power management requires complex manual planning and time-consuming attention to detail. You literally have to walk the floor to see what you have, what changes should be made, what changes can be made, and then put handwritten notes on racks and yellow stickies on servers.
Not anymore. iTRACS provides highly automated workflows in which the software literally does the planning work for you.
Need to add servers to support a new business application? With a few clicks of a mouse, iTRACS can scan the entire data center, confirm how many servers you’ll need, and locate the best available rack space. It can then tell you the specific power and network connectivity requirements for each server and create work orders right down to each port on each device.
This is a far cry from the frustrating delays, human errors, and static knowledge associated with manual workflows and 2D spreadsheets. This is unleashing the data center as “the automated workspace of the Internet age.”
How fast can iTRACS’ automated workflows help you become best-of-breed in intelligent provisioning, capacity planning, green data center, and many other challenges? See for yourself.
