2 Visualization, Management & Optimization Keys for an efficient Data Center Sergio Uribe - CommScope May 14,

3 Before to start Lopsided data center budget growth Allocating the cost of IT inefficiency Data center efficiency gains have hit a plateau Killing comatose servers, deleting outdated applications Green certifications and carbon reporting Data center capacity trends Cloud computing adoption and hurdles DCIM adoption through the roof? Prefab modular data centers

4 Agenda How to operate it intelligently? How to keep it efficient?

5 Agenda How to operate it intelligently?

6 Challenge to Manage the DC Server Deployment is a complex task???????????? Where to deploy the Server?

7 Challenge to Manage the DC What is a suitable Cabinet? Available Height Space (Rack Units) Available Deep Space Enough Weight Support Free Electrical Outlets Copper/Fiber Cabled Ports:

8 Challenge to Manage the DC Server Deployment is a complex task Where to pick up the services?

9 Challenge to Manage the DC Which Services? Primary LAN Secondary LAN LAN Core 1 LAN Core 2 LAN OoB

10 Challenge to Manage the DC Company spends money on unnecessary Telecom infrastructure in the rush to provisioning connectivity quickly for new or relocated devices, switch ports that are no longer in use are often left plugged in and money is often spent on new switches that are not actually needed.

11 What cause these problems??? Infrastructure Documentation is not unified: Infrastructure Documentation is not updated: Infrastructure Management is not automated:

12 How to solve it? Adding Real-Time Management: Vision Knowledge Control + = With the Help of 3 Components: + + intelligent Controller intelligent Panel intelligent Software

13 Components: intelligent Panel Infrared Sensor on every Port: Detects the presence or absence of a standard cord LED on every Port: Trace Button on every Port: Shows where a end of a cord is, or the position for a pendent job Allows the technician to select a given port

14 Components: intelligent Controller Receives events from IPatch Panels and forward them to imvision Software Shows the complete End to End Trace for a given port. Gives text instructions to the technician assisting him on MAC labors. (Spanish & Portuguese) Produces sounds to alert the technician when Cords are been added or removed. Large Touch Screen Display of 4.3 for easy to understand graphic representation of Infrastructure components

15 Components: intelligent Software Unified & Updated Database: Geographical* Floor Plan* In-Rack Cabling In-Floor Cabling Circuit Trace Switch Port Status Services* Employees* Devices

16 Deploy server Technicians guided to complete Electronic work orders Automatic confirmation Correct service activation detected, service tickets closed Automated Server Deployment Select server template Template includes size, power, weight, ports, required services Select Rack/Cabinet Selection based on available rack units, power, maximum load Schedule deployment Connectivity paths determined electronic work orders issued

17 Agenda How to keep it efficient?

18 1. Interconnectivity The Data Management of assets, resources, and their interdependencies with analytics and predictive modeling (what-if scenarios) 2. Visualization Living, breathing 3D model linked to the data featuring mydcim role-based user experience 3. Open Systems No vendor or proprietary constraints 4. Proven Deployment Methodology Fast, risk-free deployment with rigorous cost containment 5. Value-Based Pricing High cost efficiency and rapid time-to-value

19 Open Systems - Proven Open the natural evolution of DCIM Eliminates vendor constraints Rapid integrations via DCIM Open Exchange Framework Intel DCM RF Code VMware Hewlett-Packard APC Schneider OSIsoft BMC Geist Liebert Power Assure Etc.

20 Interrelationships Network Connectivity Granular view of connectivity from Device Network Port to Destination Switch Port Our granular approach to asset documentation including specification of all plug-ins, components, ports of connectivity and cables allows DCIM to provide full end-to-end connectivity of all assets.

21 Interrelationships Power Chain End to end power connectivity from the power supply out to the transformer End to end power connectivity tears down the silos between IT, Facilities, OPS, Maintenance, BMS, and the Business to drive a new level of visibility into interdependency and operational efficiency. DCIM can fully document the path of power including generators, ATS, UPS, transformers, switching stations, etc.

22 Decisions in Context Impact analysis of downing a PDU for maintenance Simulated impact failure analysis reduces mitigated risk and the allocation of resources. Provide a clear understanding of the relationships and the impacts assets have on each other.

23 Decisions in Context Interrelationships of Assets An interactive holistic view of the data center lets you point-and-click through the entire IT infrastructure. Giving you a rich understanding of the complex web of interrelationships that exist between assets and unleashing new opportunities to create efficiency.

24 Planning Capacity planning by power rating manufacturer s, benchmark and real time Accelerate the justification for commissioning new equipment to lower OPEX cost. Increase rack density using the actual CPU power and temperature readings thus maximizing capacity and delaying infrastructure expansion.

25 Tech Refresh Tech Refresh by Utilization, End of Lease, Asset Type, or Line of Business Proactively reduce energy consumption by eliminating ghost servers, under performing devices and end of life hardware. Compare power usage at an individual device level, creating an opportunity to conduct asset to asset comparisons to determine which asset delivers the greatest business value at the highest efficiency.

26 Intelligent Commissioning Define available space for asset deployment DCIM s intelligent commissioning platform allows intuitive and holistic control over the intersection of people and process that lies at the core of your Data Centers ability to return value to the business.

27 Workflow Efficiency Commission assets by available space, power, connectivity, etc. Reduce time to delivery by automatically calculating the available space, power, cooling and connectivity when determining the placement of an asset.
