2. Locating assets
Knowing what is connected to what (managing relationships and dependencies)
Finding available resources (rack space, power, cooling, network, IP addresses, etc.)
Making accurate capacity planning
Managing changing and enforce best practices/processes
Complying with internal/external regulatory audits

3. Different silos often make use of different solutions for their domains. The increasing complexity of data centers result in labor-intensive (manual) processes that are often slow, unreliable and prone to conflict and errors.

4. Limitations of space and power, along with the enormous complexity of managing a large data center, have given rise to a new category of tools with integrated processes – Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM).
Visualization of your Data Center DCIM helps you to visualize the entire data center instantly and drill down to any desired level of granularity with just a few clicks of a mouse.
Easily track all your assets in the Data Center. DCIM will centralize data and will end the endless searches in and for excel spreadsheets for assets and their configurations.
Real-time monitoring of Capacity DCIM also provides you with automated tools and what-if models to simplify any required system moves or new system provisioning, while taking maximum advantage of existing space, power and cooling capacity.
Optimized Communication between Departments DCIM provides an effective bridge to support the operational responsibilities and dependencies between facilities and IT personnel to eliminate the potential silos.
