DCIM and Network Documentation Challenges

No true single source of data for multiple sources of information

– Visio, CA netViz, AutoCAD, spreadsheets, vendor dependent monitoring tools, databases

– High costs for manual documentation

Managing capacity is inefficient– Budget allocation suffers due to lack of data on measurable

growth rates

The need to deliver predictable high quality service to support business demands

Extending the life of existing data centers Troubleshooting and resource allocation suffer when

information is fragmented, out of date, or inaccessible.
