Product Profile of Infrastructure Explorer with HVAC Utilization
Avocent supplies Infrastructure Explorer with HVAC Utilization. Avocent also provides open, secure, modular solutions that enable the customers to manage IT complexity. The Infrastructure Explorer with HVAC Utilization provides data centre managers a solution to quickly assess current assets, including power and HVAC utilization, and visualize changes in real-time to accommodate new technology [e.G. Virtualization] and changes in infrastructure configuration.
Key Features of Infrastructure Explorer with HVAC Utilization
- Dynamically Monitor - using application integration, Infrastructure Explorer displays dynamic monitoring of environmental characteristics such as heating, cooling and power.
- Visual Modelling - View graphically the data centre[s], racks and individual IT elements within a rack, including detailed visual information to aid in the day-to-day operations of the physical data centre [i.e. email server is in row 3, rack b, U 20-24]. Significantly reduces the time to respond to issues and plan changes.
- Planning and Design - Create multiple what-if scenarios to understand the impact of a change or addition to the data centre. Enables data centre optimization for space, power, and weight, heat/cooling and network. Ensures optimal configurations are readily available.
- Asset Identification and Location - Search for assets by type, domain name, IP address, etc. by providing the physical location in addition to other general asset information. Also provides specific information for locating a device [i.e. recalled power supply type-x - visual indications of which racks and servers need to be worked]. Increases response time and reduces labour costs.
- Capacity Visualization - See at a glance available capacity and potential issues for space, power, and weight, heat/cooling and network. Provides accurate information for planning and reduces time needed to implement additions and changes to the data centre. Improves change management quality and lowers cost of planning and documentation.
- Equipment Library - Draw from a master library of more than 250,000 distinct devices. Delivered solution can precisely describe YOUR specific environment, including high fidelity front and rear images, size, weight, power usage, BTU output, etc. Feeds data centre capacity metrics and showing details of assets for hands-on operations and maintenance support. Dramatically reduces the effort and time for defining infrastructure models and assessing impact of changes.
- Data Import - Import existing data centre information [csv files] to speed and simplify implementation. Leverage the value of current information
