Globally as well as in India, Data Center Infrastructure Management or DCIM represents an whole new and innovative way of managing data centers in an efficient manner that is beneficial for the growth of the organisation.

It is all about providing the cutting edge visibility, insight, and integrated processes to drive optimal performance throughout the data centers for an enterprise. DCIM solutions being provided by different set of vendors are enabling the enterprise customers in terms of collecting and understanding big volumes of data so that CIOs or the IT decision makers can make informed decisions on a day-to-day basis, as well as stretch the space, power, cooling resources, server, and other resources in a safe, controlled manner. All in all, DCIM is fast emerging as a process by virtue of which enterprise data centers can achieve bigger results in shorter span of time frames.

On account of the impressive growth of data centers in recent years—and the growing emphasis on efficiency, cost effectiveness, and mission-critical reliability today—DCIM is turning out to be the  one stop solution to a number of conflicting pressures that today’s data center managers face on a regular basis.

Characteristics of a DCIM Environment

• Streamline data center operations processes and implement best practices

• Forecast future data center capacities and capabilities, including space, power, cooling, and   network connections

• Intelligently managing the power consumption and resources on a regular basis

• Drive energy efficient initiatives and shrink your carbon footprint for a “Green Data Center”
• Optimize critical data center infrastructure
• Use virtualization effectively to improve overall data center performance

• Reduce total cost of ownership
• Drive down costs through effective utilization of the entire infrastructure
Overall practice of the above actions eventually helps in terms of increasing the capacity, efficiency and life span of a typical data center environment. Moving forward, DCIM is surely going to find foothold within the burgeoning enterprise community of India.
