reporting and business analysis.
CPIM®
3.1 with myAnalytics offers data center owners and operators greater
command-and-control over their physical infrastructure, putting vital knowledge
at the fingertips of today’s decision-makers.
“This is the next step
in the evolution of the iTRACS DCIM offering for businesses that are seeking to
optimize infrastructure performance and efficiency,” said George Brooks, senior
vice president of Enterprise Product and Market Management, CommScope. “With
the myAnalytics engine, you can gain important insights about power, space,
network, and other vital data center resources. This is a personalized
analytics tool to help you uncover new opportunities to improve data center
operations, planning, and cost efficiency.”
The myAnalytics engine is a core capability inside the iTRACS CPIM
platform. It extends and enhances iTRACS’ industry-leading capabilities in
bringing together information from disparate data sources and tools into a
single, holistic management environment. It comes with a series of standard
reports on power, space, and other metrics that users can start using
immediately.
In addition, iTRACS partners and other members of the growing ourDCIM™ Developer Community are invited to
explore the myAnalytics environment. ourDCIM is a global developer community
designed to help accelerate DCIM innovation by enabling rapid self-enabled
integrations with the iTRACS CPIM software suite.
Other new capabilities
of CPIM 3.1 include:
Better
change management for faster time-to-value.To accelerate
time-to-service for servers and other IT assets, CPIM 3.1 has enhanced the CPIM
Workflow Manager. The end-to-end IT service management-based workflow offers
expanded coverage from change request through review, approval, plan,
execution, and confirmation. It is easily integrated with ticketing systems
like ServiceNow and Siebel. All CPIM database updates are done automatically,
thus eliminating the delays or human errors that are often associated with
conventional change management.
Better
energy management for higher energy efficiency. CPIM 3.1 includes a new power capping
capability with Intel®
Data Center Manager that lets data center managers proactively manage when,
where, and how energy is consumed without impacting service levels affecting
users.
“You can analyze server power consumption
against workloads to identify idle, low-demand, or non-peak periods,” said
Brooks. “You can then develop policies that restrict power consumption during
those periods, reducing overall energy costs while letting you allocate more
power to critical revenue-generating servers in peak periods. iTRACS can even
help you divert surplus power capacity to support growth within your existing
infrastructure and extend the life of your data center.”
