Search Data Center, Tuesday, March 4th, 2025
Data center infrastructure management (DCIM) is the convergence of IT infrastructure, operations and building facilities functions within an organization.
A DCIM initiative aims to provide administrators with holistic aspects of a data center's performance so that energy, equipment and physical data center floor space are used as efficiently as possible.
DCIM software measures, monitors and manages the IT equipment and supporting infrastructure of data centers. This enables data center operators to run efficient operations while improving infrastructure design planning. DCIM software can be hosted on-premises or in the cloud as software as a service.
