DCIM Project Lifecycle Management

There are a lot of moving parts to any install, move, add or change (IMAC) process in a data center. Unfortunately, most data centers manage the IMAC process using spreadsheets and diagrams.

Planning and executing an IMAC process without a DCIM solution is like running a sales organization without a CRM system or manufacturing without an ERP solution. This is because DCIM software has evolved to the point where it provides capabilities for managing the end-to-end IMAC lifecycle process. DCIM Project Lifecycle Management orchestrates the end-to-end process for deploying new assets in the data center.

"The DCIM Project Lifecycle Management functionality allows us to easily orchestrate the end-to-end process for deploying new assets in the data center. It handles prototyping the deployment, verifying the capacity, projecting the impact, reserving the space, generating the work orders and tracking the project to a successful completion. With nlyte 6.2, Nomura gains extended control of our data center projects and decreases the time and cost to deploy hundreds of assets in our data center," explained Mark Andrews, Data Centre Manager, Nomura.

The nlyte DCIM solution simplifies the end-to-end IMAC process by:

• planning your project and prototyping asset allocation
• assessing the impact of the change
• committing the project and reserving the space needed
• generating work orders that describe exactly how a new asset should be racked
• tracking the project to an on time completion
