Overview: All parts of the organization—from the board and executives through the IT Director and data center manager to data center operators—have a part to play in regaining full control of the power and real estate costs that are beginning to run out of control. With power costs rising sharply and increased public and corporate focus on environmental issues, such as carbon footprint, the techniques exist to tackle power inefficiencies in the data center—it is more a question of if the will exists. The underpinning for all this is asset management tools that maintain good visibility and control of the data center and all its assets.

This white paper examines the areas of data center operation that are creating the greatest concern for today’s organizations and how data center management solutions can provide serious relief for these issues. Data center power consumption and space utilization issues can be managed and resolved using a combination of best practices and the right tools to visualize, monitor, model and optimize all of these assets. This paper provides the roadmap for reducing power, conserving space and building a better data center for the future.
