- 3. Why Asset Tracking Hard to find asset when position info is wrong 02 03 04 05 0601 Asset audit cost much time, but never accurate Hard to make RU resource plan Mistakes without knowing Error-prone Operational procedures are too complex ? According to the Gartner, only less than 25% companies around the world have appropriate IT assets management plans. Most of them are still using the complex manual tracking and monitoring method, or they even don’t know how many hardware assets they have. As they don't know clearly their IT assets well, there are a lot of loss in time, money and system performance.
- 4. Value of Accurate Asset Tracking Decision Maker Know correct asset and rack space utilization data, save unnecessary escalation and increase ROI Finance Insure 100% accurate asset integrity, and control over investment Know the correspondence between physical asset and business application, avoid downtime caused by wrong infrastructure changes. IT Operation Automate asset tracking and audit, simplify working procedures, increase working efficiency, and reduce operational errors.
- 5. 1 3 2 Why The Future is Automation Lack of operational staff Data center industry is growing too fast, but training operational staff takes too long, and salary is increasing very fast. Human Nature Man error is inevitable Asset data and change is the foundation of data center management, but manual entering is never accurate Human naturally hate tedious and repetitive works, especially the younger generation. Asset tracking work is hardly an attentioned contribution, but often brings trouble. Why Automated Asset Tracking
