Understanding IT Space Infrastructure

Effective and timely data centre infrastructure monitoring and management has never been a straightforward proposition. Technologies age rapidly, workloads grow exponentially, and an organisation’s business needs change unpredictably. Every data centre manager is totally focused on optimising data centre performance and constantly planning for the next challenge. That could be a mix of hardware and software from multiple vendors, a lack of co-ordination between Facilities and IT management, or the tendency for data centres to evolve in silos.

Such challenges and the risks they bring are becoming more pressing in the era of software-defined and cloud-oriented operations. So too are the changes and challenges inherent within data workloads themselves, which require corresponding responses from the power infrastructure if tasks are to be completed successfully. IT managers are looking for new tools that will carry their management capabilities up the technology stack and beyond the data center walls so that they have complete intelligence and control of how the data centre is serving the needs of the business.
