DataCenter Operations Insights Data center operations InsightsWhy can someone else's asset inventory be automated? Why is capacity management relevant to operator performance? From asset management to capacity management with just one set of equipment? Operator, are you also facing such a dilemma? As data centers grow in size, data center operations present increasingly complex problems that cannot be solved by outdated perceptions and technologies. The operation team is growing, the labor cost is rising, and the management efficiency is stagnant. You feel like you're being pushed around by trivial things, overworked, boring, and covered in feathers. In fact, the pain of operation and maintenance people is not only this. It is related to the interests of the data center as the cornerstone of enterprise production center and profit center, with the expansion of management scale, the requirements for operation and maintenance personnel to master local fine management new skills are also increasing. If you cannot comply with this requirement, you will be marginalized. Automated operations focused on in-cabinet asset and capacity management are a new skill for refined data center operations. It provides a new monitoring method for insight into the changes of assets and space resources, which is different from using the naked eye, hands and feet to judge and operate. Now, as the head of the data center, you only need a new set of asset management equipment for each cabinet, you can improve your "monster" skills, practice the most powerful operational insights of the data center. 5 Operational Insights Skill 1 Automation of asset inventory Through the asset module and electronic tag accurate data reading, solve the manual operation of asset inventory time-consuming, labor-intensive, error-prone and other problems, improve the efficiency of asset management. Skill 2 Asset status security management Innovative RFID technology to achieve the digital management of assets, monitoring assets in the asset management platform, online, offline, illegal movement, authorized transfer, scrap and other life cycle security management. Stunt 3 Spatial resource visualization Combined with 2D/3D visualization technology, the asset management platform calculates and presents the U-bit occupancy rate in real time to improve cabinet utilization, save equipment costs, and provide early warning services for cabinet load and bearing. Trick 4 Quickly locate the device Using accurate positioning technology of sound and light, the fault device location is not clear and the operation and maintenance response is slow, improving the efficiency of equipment fault operation and maintenance, location planning, and operation and maintenance collaboration. Trick 5 Cabinet microenvironment Monitoring A high-precision temperature and humidity sensor is used to accurately monitor the local temperature and humidity in the upper, middle, and lower parts of the cabinet to prevent server restart or downtime due to excessive temperature and improve system availability. The greatest value of datacenter operation insight is to solve the problems of low efficiency, high inventory error rate, inaccurate data and high labor cost for users through the Internet of Things technology equipment. Here's how disruptive it is: 1) Time to find a server Traditional way: Average time 15 minutes, indefinite time (some servers never found) Operational Insight: Average time 3-5 seconds, 100% accurate 2) Take inventory of the time needed for 10,000 servers Traditional inventory: 20 people per day Operational Insight inventory: within 5 seconds 3) U-level capacity resource monitoring The traditional way: the estimation time of human monitoring is uncertain, and the accuracy is 70%-80% Operational insight: real-time monitoring, real-time statistics, within 5 seconds, 100% accuracy 4) Take stock of the cost of 10,000 servers Traditional: Under $8,000 Operational Insight: $0.1 5) U-level capacity resource utilization Traditional method: utilization rate 70%-80% Operational Insight: Improved U-level utilization by 4%-15%, and improved utilization by 8% on average 6) Computer room management around the world Traditional way: sending personnel to different places, high cost, difficult management Operational Insight: real-time remote digital management, low cost Technology upgrade, concept first. As the core unit of the data center, in Shanghai, New York, Los Angeles and other high-end forums, the global operations experts are studying how to achieve the fine management of the data center. Keeping up with the trend means that the front-end business capability lags behind, which is a problem that the majority of data center operators should pay attention to. There is also the unspoken fact that any outage event from the data center will make the organization question the competence of the operations team. Now, in the face of new technologies and concepts of cabinet asset management and capacity management, operation and maintenance executives: Are You Ready?
