- 1. DATA SHEET agility made possible™ CA Nimsoft ecoMeter At a Glance Today’s data centers are virtualized, dynamic and more integral to business success than ever. In these environments, power demands are growing increasingly volatile and vital to infrastructure and business performance. CA Nimsoft ecoMeter gives IT and facilities staff a unified view of IT, power and cooling systems. This solution gives customers the comprehensive, practical capabilities they need to achieve greater availability, agility and efficiency in their data center and IT operations. Key benefits/results Business challenges Traditional data center infrastructure management (DCIM) approaches have relied on • Improve service availability and quality multiple systems from a variety of suppliers to maintain the integrity of the data center. through enhanced service uptime and faster response to changing capacity demands While this approach may have met basic requirements, it hasn’t been efficient, whether from the standpoint of resource usage or administration. Further, given IT’s need to support • Respond faster by more rapidly diagnosing increased demand for business services, this approach is increasingly unsustainable. power-related issues and changing capacity demands Organizations need better integration of IT and infrastructure management, so they can • Reduce risk by minimizing service more effectively govern these assets. IT and facility teams need to be able to seamlessly interruption and SLA compliance integrate critical data from multiple measurement systems into one system of record. • Control cost by reducing energy consumption How do IT teams gain a single view into the demand and capacity requirements across all and optimizing resource utilization their data centers? • Generate additional revenue streams, improve departmental accountability for How do they more effectively understand usage, predict trends and ensure they effectively usage, and better demonstrate usage and prepare for future energy and cooling requirements? value through integrated billing reports Solution overview Key features CA Nimsoft ecoMeter captures real-time data from IT and building infrastructure elements Get in-depth coverage of power, energy, to provide you and your customers with a clear and comprehensive picture of power, cooling temperature, humidity, airflow and more and energy usage.
