International. The need to monitor and manage data center infrastructure 24 hours a day, seven days a week, is largely justified by the advantages that can be gained from it.
In this regard, the company Vertiv has highlighted that, regardless of whether you work on-site or remotely, it is necessary to have the ability to monitor data center equipment in real time and identify problems that could affect the system and business performance.
Here's how data center monitoring systems can help achieve critical business objectives.
Work and collaborate from anywhere
Logging in securely from a preferred location to monitor data center equipment, individually or as a team, provides a comprehensive view of all operations and the ability to manage them from a single screen.
Connect all your computer, regardless of manufacturer
No matter the manufacturer chosen or the amount of equipment purchased, it is possible to integrate and monitor everything for automated real-time reports that can be used to share updates on all aspects of performance, such as power, cooling, environmental conditions, racks and assets.
Understand space capacity and power
Through the dimension of the space that is available for new equipment or where they are located. This information is used to plan facilities or make the case for new facility investments.
Manage growing data center operations
They allow you to develop new sites, add devices, generate views, and design dashboards that meet needs. Network closets, server rooms, micro data centers or containerized data centers, edge data centers, or standalone facilities can also be scaled.
Access real-time information
Monitoring systems offer interactive views to access alert summaries or view device, room and site statuses from a single screen. This simplifies decision-making and eliminates the chances of human error due to insufficient or misinterpreted data.
Receive immediate alerts
Alerts are generated when equipment exceeds predefined thresholds, preventing performance issues and power outages. It is also possible to define automated routes to ensure timely resolution.
Improve operations
Analytics serve to identify how much energy is consumed and identify areas where to optimize and reduce costs over time, as well as hot spots that need to be addressed quickly to prevent equipment damage or degradation.
Customize dashboards and generate reports
Reports can be customized to prioritize the most important data. Whether you need to disclose the status of uninterruptible power supply (UPS) units at all sites or provide a comprehensive analysis of the performance of a particular site, reporting is easier and enables trend analysis and evidence of efficiency gains.
Meet service-level agreements
Latency and interruptions are undesirable when reporting on data by identifying trends and issues. With a monitoring system, equipment management can be performed proactively, based on key criteria such as age, lagging capacities or performance issues in your data center.
Easily train new staff
The graphical interface is intuitive and allows you to train others easily. New employees can use interactive views and cross-site navigation for monitoring and management of all data center operations.
