Get prepared for the top 10 Data Center surprises at DVL

Emerson released a list of 10 common surprises for data center and IT managers and offered tips on how to be prepared for them. The list, released at AFCOM Data Center World Spring, includes information on a surprising cause of data center downtime, what data center managers might not know about that next server refresh, and the growing trend sneaking up on virtually every IT manager.

“When you are a data center or IT manager, very few things are more unsettling than the unexpected,” said Peter Panfil, vice president of global power, Emerson Network Power. “We hope this list helps IT professionals better anticipate these issues and prepares them with the appropriate technologies, solutions and best practices.”

While many management organizations have already invested in technology resources (people, processes and tools) to manage data center infrastructure, critical gaps still remain in the physical infrastructure, virtual infrastructure and IT workloads. The Trellis platform provides a fundamentally new perspective on managing the entire data center in that it recognizes:

• The importance of real-time data to understand the true capacity of available infrastructure
• The criticality of interdependencies between logical and physical layers
• The need for holistic management capabilities and visibility of IT and physical infrastructures
• The need for more powerful management tools that offer a rich, visual view of the infrastructure and can guide design and change management

DCIM is getting the IT infrastructure layer and the physical infrastructure layer to operate as one.  It's essentially virtualizing the physical infrastructure, just like what has happened to the IT infrastructure layer.  Covering this gap is very broad, so in order for that to happen you still need to draw boudaries.  What is your DCIM strategy?

The DCIM market is moving full steam ahead.  Steve Hassell, president of Emerson's DCIM division, Avocent, and Kevin Brown, VP of Data Center Global Offer at Schneider Electric, put their top DCIM questions to each other in this Data Center Infrastructure Management discussion.

Check out the questions below.

What are you hearing from CIOs as to the critical needs driving them to better manage their physical infrastructure and integrate that with the logical systems infrastructure?

How does a customer get started with a DCIM implementation?

Traditional data center design practices have involved several levels of power margins resulting in stranded capacity and lower efficiency.  How can DCIM help recapture some of that capacity without compromising availability?
