2 The Complete Data Center Asset Tracking Solution Data Center assets have multiplied considerably as daily information processing has grown from kilobytes to terabytes. Asset accuracy is now critical to data center performance. Tape tracking and storage. Track IT assets such as servers, routers, switches etc. Know where your assets are located from your desktop. Existing solutions are not providing the comprehensive capability required. A survey taken by the International Association of IT Asset Managers (IAITAM) found members tracking with pen, clipboard and spreadsheets. The survey noted that Organizations can typically expect a 10% error rate in manual data entry due to typing and transcribing errors. In addition, respondents said that 85% accuracy rate for tracking IT assets was above average and that a 90-95% rate was exceptional. If a data center has 1,000 servers that translates to 100 to 150 assets that go missing. The cost of tracking missing or misplaced assets is a drain on tight budgets where more is always expected with fewer resources. A fully populated rack could cost more than $500 to collect data. Some data centers spend upward toward a million dollars a year just to track their assets. 2 Enasys asset tracking delivers the comprehensive solution, that is intuitive to use, provides complete tracking, comes with a team of installers and trainers and typically provides a payback of just over a year. Data centers now can see 100% of their assets 100% of the time reducing expenses along the way.
