ABcom Now Offering Data Center DCIM Software
October 14, 2011
Phoenix, Arizona – Applied Business Communications (ABcom) an industry-leading provider of data center design, structured cabling installation, and infrastructure build outs is now offering a full suite of data center DCIM software helping its clients track and manage assets down to hardware level. To provide efficient and effective services and problem resolution, IT administrators need in-band and out-of-band access, power control and a variety of costly point solutions for different technologies, vendors and product generations. This means deploying convenient, fast and secure ways to locate, view, access and control all the devices in your server rooms and data centers. ABcom is fully authorized solution provider of DCtrak DCIM.
Using ABcom/Raritan’s dcTrack Data Center Infrastructure Manager you will have an up-to-date view of all data center assets, a controlled change/workflow process and rules based tools to automate and accelerate the provisioning process.
The dcTrack Data Center Infrastructure Manager gives you the tools to do intelligent capacity management. dcTrack’s powerful floor plan visualization tools and color-coded capacity views highlight the available space, power, networking and cooling resources. But it doesn’t stop there – with dcTrack you can also drill down to the most granular level to view individual power and data connections. Plus, dcTrack enables complete power chain management, so that you can properly manage power distribution – even balance 3-phase power loads.
Data Center Builds, Moves and Consolidations
Like it or not, major data center changes – whether new builds, moves or consolidations – are a continuous headache for data center managers. They are further complicated by the data center’s multiple, inter-dependent organizations --IT, networking and facilities--needed to plan and construct the modern data center. Coordination of these “silos” is a major obstacle, especially with the multiple (often out-of-date) spreadsheets, databases, CAD drawings and systems that “document” the average data center.
Managers of data centers equipped with dcTrack have up-to-date inventory records of facilities, devices and their interconnection. This data can be used to generate accurate, timely reports which can help you to respond to internal and external requests for information – quickly and without trips to the data center.
