The Uptime Institute’s 2022 Global Data Center Survey highlights a growing challenge for operators: attracting and retaining qualified staff. With 53% struggling to find skilled employees and 42% losing staff to competitors—a sharp rise from 17% in 2018—there’s a clear need for solutions. DCIM software emerges as a key response, offering a holistic view of data center operations. This includes monitoring power usage, cooling systems, server space, and network operations.

Jad will dig into the current hiccups and the huge potential of DCIM, and share how AI, AR, digital twin, and IoT could completely transform how data centers operate by ramping up efficiency and getting ahead of trends. Find out how your organization can be at the forefront of this shift. This interactive session is designed as a collaborative discussion with stories from the frontline and a Q&A session.

The CSRD marks a paradigm shift from preceding directives, introducing stringent reporting standards aimed at enhancing the quality, comprehensiveness, and consistency of sustainability reporting. Unlike its predecessors, the CSRD mandates specific disclosure formats and standards, emphasizing the concept of “double materiality” – requiring companies to address both their environmental impacts and climate-related risks comprehensively.

The Environmental and Efficiency Benefits of Liquid Cooling Data centers are infamous for their voracious appetite for energy. As the digital universe expands, so does the environmental impact of maintaining these centers. Enter liquid cooling, a technology with the potential to slash energy consumption and reduce the carbon footprint of data centers. Liquid cooling offers superior thermal conductivity compared to air.

Traditionally, data centers have been managed using on-premises software – and for many companies, this solution has been sufficient. However, as the data center environment becomes more intricate and dynamic, a new approach to management is required. Cloud-based Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) software has emerged as the next generation of management tools, offering unmatched flexibility, scalability, and cost-effectiveness.

Version 4.3 is packed with upgrades to enhance data center monitoring. Improvements in Connectivity, Alarm Event Management, and Notifications aim to boost your experience, offering customizable alarm settings, reducing email volume, and integrating seamlessly with MS Teams for alerts.

The capability of DCIM software to provide real-time monitoring is critical for timely issue detection and resolution. Considering that data center outages can cost more than $9,000 per minute, as highlighted in a Ponemon Institute study, the importance of immediate response facilitated by DCIM cannot be overstated.

Product-led DCIM software is synonymous with intuitive design. For users, this means less time grappling with complex interfaces and more time optimizing data center operations. This user-friendly approach reduces the learning curve and enables a broader range of the workforce to contribute meaningfully to data center management.
