Our client's challenge
This international financial services corporation has more than 60 data centre sites and decided to manage all deployment, documentation and monitoring from one single system. Up until this point the customer did not have any form of DCIM solution at any of their primary sites.
"The XpedITe team work hard to tailor their system to our requirements!"
As part of this migration project it was concluded that a suitable DCIM system was required to address the specific needs of the relocation.
These are detailed as follows:
- The ability to manage the remote site in terms of both building infrastructure & IT elements, without the need for a constant presence on site.
- The ability to optimize, plan and monitor all activities within the data center, including building infrastructure components, cabinet power supplies, all deployed IT equipment, power and IT connectivity as well as any other equipment present.
- The ability to ensure all information security and prevent any potential data leakage.
- The ability to integrate to a CMDB as well as power and security.
- The ability to co-manage other secondary sites using the same system (e.g. DR sites).
