With an exhaustible energy resource like power, users often need to make sure that their power and cooling infrastructure is operated at its highest energy efficiency. For this, they need to constantly identify where enhancements can be made. Real-time data makes up-to-the-minute PUE and DCiE calculations and understanding the carbon footprint makes understanding the energy consumption easier.
To assist users in this matter, Fred Dirla, CEO of FieldView Solutions will be presenting at 7x24 xChange Lone Star Chapter Spring Conference, May 24, 2012, at the Irving Convention Center at Las Colinas, in Irving, TX. Titled, DCIM: Doubt, Confusion, Intrigue, Mystery, Dirla's presentation will focus on DCIM's (Data Center Infrastructure Management) integral role as a "must have" energy efficiency solution for today's data centers, while underscoring its value via real-world deployment examples.
DCIM’s purpose is to assist Data Center Managers, IT and Facilities people administer their facilities at peak efficiency. So there are no uptime interruptions, and they get the most out of their assets, physical space, cooling and especially their energy dollar, the company stated in a press release.
“Increasing the efficiencies of IT systems, complying with state/government energy requirements and decreasing power expenses are all benefits of DCIM utilization," said Fred Dirla. "However, this message often gets convoluted as more companies enter the market with bloated software offerings that have limited scalability and provide only a fraction of visibility needed to monitor global data centers effectively. Venues such as the 7x24 Spring Conference provide a real-world check for facility managers, IT personnel and engineers.”
Recently, Gartner (News - Alert) named FieldView Solutions for its 2012 Cool Vendors in DCIM and Related Tools Report. FieldView's heat map page has been redesigned to facilitate quick, effective data interpretation across various status dimensions, vis-à-vis a single view. Also, a new snapshot feature has been added for point-in-time visualizations along with a new slideshow feature to create automated displays of data center temperature.
