Report Summary - EMA Radar for Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM): Q4 2012
Abstract: This a summary of the EMA Radar for Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM): Q4 2012. Although only fully defined in the past few years, Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) has been broadly accepted as the primary method for achieving effective and efficient IT implementations, operations, and management processes. The ability to leverage analytics and detailed modeling capabilities to provide real time visibility across complex IT ecosystems enables organization to optimize a variety of critical infrastructure support elements, including energy efficiency, heat distribution, space management, network connectivity and system performance. Of the hundreds of solutions on the market claiming these capabilities, only a handful have been identified by EMA to deliver full DCIM support. In this EMA Radar Report, seven of these leading DCIM solution sets have been reviewed and empirically compared across a broad range of measurements that identify product strengths and overall cost efficiency. Participating vendors include Cormant, Emerson Network Power, FieldView Solutions, iTRACS, Modius, Nlyte Software, and Raritan. |
