Of late, I have been looking at Datacenter automations and impact of DCA on costing for the datacenter.
Various solutions exist, to name a few Emerson Aperture, NLyte and Rackwise – All of which bring important things to the table. But what are the big 4 doing in this space? Do they have any solid solutions out there? Or they are just living with the situation?
Lack of investments in RFID, rack monitoring software has really taken the cost of manually managing datacenter’s higher. The bottom line is datacenter is a piece you cannot just outsource because it is the fundamental part of unique value chain for every company.
The only proposed solutions are:
- Virtulization mgmt
- Workflow management – Cable mgmt, Physical and logical asset management
- Spare management
- Space, Power, Cooling mgmt
- On-boarding, offloading management
- For cloud – customer centric solution management
Unfortunately the quest for finding the right solution continues, but I am not giving up.
