Operations and Maintenance are an integral part of data center operations and are growing increasingly complex. As the intelligent era unfolds, the diversity and complexity of application loads in datacenters are increasing, New Technologies such as Artificial Intelligence and Containers are being implemented, and computing resources are becoming heterogeneous and pooled. In addition to traditional CPUs, accelerator computing units such as GPUs and FPGAs are now playing an increasingly important role in server systems.
To improve the reliability and availability of Datacenter, administrations are looking to automate deployment and inspection, conduct in-depth fault diagnosis, and receive intelligent alarms.
Meanwhile, growing CPU and GPU capacity is driving up server energy consumption.
Cooling and Power supply energy consumption accounts for a considerable part of datacenter operational costs, putting enormous cost pressures on companies. Green and energy-efficient design is essential for boosting datacenter competitiveness and striking a balance between environmental and economic benefits. But due to the difficulty of monitoring the performance and power consumption of servers and networks in real-time and at a fine granularity, traditional data center operations have failed to achieve the desired energy efficiency.
InfraKnit DCIM enables much better and easier monitoring of Power consumption & Cooling efficiency. Aggregated power consumption of all the equipment can be reported in real-time, along with aggregated performance metrics. This data is necessary to accurately measure critical energy consumption and determine efficient computing resources. Coupled with Heatmap of the Datacenter, now operators can visualize the hotspots and tweak things accordingly. Preventive maintenance & Forecasting allows much greater and better operations of the Datacenter, which was never realized and visualized.
With the accurate telemetry and power control function of InfraKnit DCIM, power utilization and rack density could be improved by 20 to 35 percent. To achieve this, the design and delivery of a flexible and #modular rack solution for data centers holds the key.
With InfraKnit DCIM, based on secure and stable open-source technologies, which can be scaled up to help both large and small and medium-sized data centers integrate heterogeneous equipment, realizing automated and fine-grained operations. Datacenters can reduce their IT operations costs, simplify management, and improve efficiency. Facility teams can keep track of the systems supporting the Datacenter and keep the operations & Maintenance under control.
