This white paper explores how a comprehensive asset management solution for high-value, high-utilization IT assets can deliver significant benefits to the enterprise, co-location facility, or cloud provider data center. It also demonstrates how the Panduit® Physical Infrastructure Manager™ (PIM™) Software Platform can help unify asset tracking in a reliable, integrated manner to capture all physical infrastructure assets from deployment to decommission, providing an essential basis for data center infrastructure management processes.

Find out how to increase productivity, reduce costs, improve visibility and take control with data center infrastructure management (DCIM) tools in Panduit’s Integrated Asset Tracking Solutions white paper.

Excerpt:

With the rapid adoption of Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) solutions into data center operations worldwide, there is a growing significance of a thorough and precise approach to data center management. Specifically, information technology (IT) systems are often implemented under the assumption that the information supplied to data center managers regarding the physical infrastructure is accurate. Unfortunately, this is not always the case.

In the area of physical infrastructure asset management, few mature asset tracking tools currently exist − and those that do exist often lack visibility or are seriously compromised by a lack of integration with current-day asset management tools and techniques. This lack of visibility into the physical layer exposes data centers to significant risk, and increased operational expense.

In addition, many organizations have no specialized asset-related data center management systems in place. Stakeholders are encouraged to make use of separate operational process systems already functioning in an organization; unfortunately, these systems are not specialized to…>>Read More
