The Benefits of Using DCIM Software for Data Center Cable Management

One of the primary benefits of DCIM software is the enhanced visibility it provides into the physical infrastructure of a data center. This software creates detailed, accurate, and up-to-date maps of all the cabling and connections within the facility. Such documentation is invaluable for troubleshooting, as it enables IT staff to quickly identify and resolve issues related to cable connections.

Enhancing Data Center Efficiency and Sustainability with Power Capacity Effectiveness

PCE is a performance metric that evaluates the effective utilization of power in data centers. It measures the ratio of IT equipment power to the total power consumed, encompassing all aspects of the facility’s operations, including cooling and lighting. Unlike traditional metrics, PCE provides a comprehensive assessment of how power is used within data centers, aiming to optimize the actual power capacity available.

EP2: The Unsustainable Truth: Data Centers' Dirty Little Secret w/ Dean Nelson

In this episode of Hyper Views, we're delighted to have Dean Nelson, the founder and chairman of the Infrastructure Masons, joining us. We dive into the world of data centers, specifically focusing on power capacity effectiveness (PCE) as a key metric. We highlight the significance of measuring PCE and its impact on sustainability reporting, while aligning sustainability goals with economic performance objectives. And of course, we provide some valuable insights and advice for executives and operators on optimizing PCE and power usage effectiveness (PUE) in data centers.
