 Data Center Performance Management is the ability to gain insight and drive performance throughout the data center including data center assets and physical infrastructure. nlyte’s Data Center Performance Management solution enables organizations to translate strategies into plans, monitor execution, and provide insight to improve financial and operational performance.
nlyte’s DCPM suite creates a complete data center management environment for improved business agility – From the point you set your goals through the discovery of what you have, visualizing where your assets are, modeling and controlling changes, reporting on the results and finally predicting your future -- nlyte’s DCPM solution gives you the insights and tools you need to connect these processes, keep a steady pulse on your data center, optimize resources and improve business performance.
We designed nlyte from the ground-up to address real-world data center problems and we enable data center managers to continuously improve the performance of their facilities by using nlyte to envoke a series of processes we call the Data Center Performance Management (DCPM) Process Cycle. The DCPM Process Cycle uses six steps to help data center personnel get control of their data centers and make informed decisions for the planning and effective management of their IT assets and infrastructure.
The six DCPM Process Cycle Steps are described below:
Discover
You can't manage what you can't find. nlyte provides the ability to automatically search for IT assets, collecting important data to speed implementation and keeping your records up to date.
Visualize
Once you assets are accounted for, nlyte maps the logical data collected during the discovery process and creates a virtual model of your entire data center estate.
Model
To effectively manage your assets, nlyte provides the ability to manipulate your virtual model of the data center, creating sophisticated "what if" scenarios to plan those Move, Add and Change (MAC) initiatives, before committing your team to implement the changes.
Control
After you have modeled your virtual changes, it's time to get them implemented. nlyte provides a robust, data center-centric workflow process to insure that your people are working together and using best practices to manage your data center estate.
Report
Your changes have been implemented, now it's time to measure the results. nlyte supports the real-time collection of data specific to power and environmental metrics and provides the business intelligence tools to deliver this information to management for review.
Predict
When it comes to data center capacity, predicting the future can be the difference between "open for business" or "out of business". nlyte uses the historical data stored in the DCPM Repository to track trends and forecast future requirements for space, cooling and power.
