With FNT Command, managers can carry out DCIM and
network, cabling and IP management.
Because FNT provides monitoring and asset management
capabilities as part of FNT Command, we consider this to be
a complete DCIM suite, as well as a DCSM tool, as opposed
to a point product.

Introduction to Data Centre Infrastructure Management (DCIM)
10. Mai 2016

DCIM
© 2014 FNT GmbH
DCIM Definition
A data center infrastructure management (DCIM) system collects and manages information about a
datacenter’s assets, resource use and operational status.
This information is then distributed, integrated, analyzed and applied in ways that help managers meet
business and service-oriented goals and optimize their datacenter’s performance.
In practice, DCIM systems may vary widely in focus, and complete solutions are likely to consist of a
framework or suite of products, from one or many suppliers, that are designed to interoperate or
complement each other.
The close interworking of IT and mechanical/electrical systems will increasingly lead to the
deployment of solutions that span data-center facility infrastructure, physical IT assets, and virtual IT
assets.

Problem statements (examples)
We can’t immediately see solutions to problems in spite of wealth of data. We’re often uncertain about best option…
We over-provision for power and cooling…
Hotspots and other problems are often detected late…
We’re often unsure where to place the next server…
We have no clear indication of how well we’re are doing, since our KPIs are inaccurate or difficult to collect…
Available power, space and cooling are unused, despite shortage where it’s needed (‘Stranded capacity’)…
I have no easy way of delivering data for power, carbon and efficiency to executives and legal…
I don’t always know what all the power-hungry devices are doing – if anything!!!
We try to avoid risks like raising of temperature set points, use of free air and other energy-saving innovations…

Main benifits of DCIM (1)Problem How DCIM can help
Managers over-provision for power and cooling.Accurate modeling or monitoring reduces waste.
Managers aren’t always sure where to place servers.Software identifies optimal placing of servers.
Managers can’t account for energy use, or map energy or carbon use against servers, services and workload.
Measures and links utilization and power use.
Managers don’t know how well they are doing; performance metrics are inaccurate or difficult.
Can create instant metrics.
Managers don’t always know what all power-drawing devices are doing – if anything.
Identifies all power-drawing devices and monitors behavior.
Hotspots and other problems detected late, or by staff in aisles.
Potential problems identified before they occur.

Main benifits of DCIM (2)Problem How DCIM can help
Managers can’t see solutions to problems in spite of wealth of data. Often uncertain about best option.
Key data available in one integrated application.
Available power, space and cooling are unused, despite shortage where it’s needed. (‘Stranded capacity’)
Mismatches in availability and demand of power, space and cooling are identified.
Raising of temperature set points, use of free air and other energy-saving innovations deemed risky.
Changing environmental and energy use quickly picked up and acted on.
Managers don’t know how well they are doing; performance metrics are inaccurate or difficult.
Detailed reports of power use/carbon and cost available to executives.
Executive and legal requests for power, carbon and efficiency data cannot be met easily.
Software can map power-consumption patterns against ideal or normal patterns and spot anomalies.
