Traditional Data Center Operations
Multiplicity of non-integrated tools
No Analysis of Data Collected in Different Systems : Higher Capital Costs, Higher Operating Costs, Higher number of failures

How DCIM Helps
Since DCIM Software dynamically captures information related to asset utilization, power consumption, environmental conditions , it: • Helps Data Center Manager avoid unnecessary over-provisioning • Helps plan investments and new capacity • Helps reduce the capital costs • Helps reduce power use and other operating costs • Helps reduce risk of failures through critical alerts • Helps adapting to technical and business change more easily • Helps improvement plans through real-time metrics & dashboard

Financial Savings from DCIM
• Sweating out existing investments through asset life cycle management and capacity planning
• Avoiding over provisioning • Savings on capital investments through better utilization • Deferring investments to later date
• Reducing operating expenditure
• Reduced power and cooling costs • Improved productivity through automation of manual tasks
• Higher availability of business IT Services
• Increased availability lowers cost of downtime
• Predictive failures: faster diagnosis for shorter downtimes.
