DCIM, Efficiency Management and SLA dashboards
DCIM: PUE and EER, the Key Performance Indicators
The most used Key Performance Indicators of a datacenter are the PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness) and EER (Energy Efficiency Ratio).
Know your actual PUE and EER is one thing, but knowing them in detail and be able to modify them if your datacenter changes is the next step towards Datacenter Operational Excellence.
DCIM: User Configurable SLA-dashboards
A modern efficient datacenter can not be operated without the right SLA-dashboarding capabilities. These dashboards should be adjustable to the day to day changes within a datacenter.
DCIM of Perf-IT comes with many different standard, user configurable dashboards.
Combining the EMS data with data coming from other systems, DCIM becomes an important step to operator excellence.
The EMS information is used for:
◦ Asset management
◦ Power consumption invoicing
◦ Calculating your performance
◦ Controlling your capacity and overbooking on both electrical and cooling
