CAPACITY PLANNING

ASSET LIFECYCLE MANAGEMENT (“Dock to Decomm”)

Conduct what-if planning based on capacity indicators before/after

Key Benefits

• Improved capacity planning and project lifecycle management

•Proactive versus reactive data center management

•Accurate data center lifespan prediction- assess when you need additional capacity (and when you don’t)

Key Benefits•Real-time reporting on assets, per data center per customer mapping to each lifecycle stage, facilitating warranty renewals and

maintenance contracts•Real-time, accurate asset inventory audits for compliance and yearly maintenance reconciliation•Ability to report using a charge-back model• Immediate recognition upon asset arrival at your facility, thus avoiding spending on uninstalled assets

Plan capacity with trendlines/predictions based on actual usage

Manage capacity project dependencies and status changes

Detailed allocation criteria for precision in what-if scenarios (industry patented)

Cabinet views provide rich information: 1. visually, 2. detail lists, and by 3. Navigation

Virtual Machines – Nlyte Host Records

Nlyte treats Virtual Machines much in the same way as Physical machines with operating parameters and asset details:

•Host record created / updated by the hypervisor

•Host record linked to organizational units

•Host record mapped to server and power

Virtual Machines updated to a server asset

Visibility between the physical Host and all Guest operating instances in real-time:

•Nlyte host records created for each VM

•Multiple VM hosts on a physical server asset

•Updated automatically by the hypervisor

•Identify VM to physical location

Key Benefits

•Reduced complexity and cost of managing a virtualized data center. Track changes automatically and continuously as VM’s migrate.

• Increased control and optimization of both physical and virtual resources, avoiding multiple management systems, manual and time-consuming processes to coordinate the views

•Clear identification of Guests &Hostsduringoutagesandsupport to assure that affected applications have contingency plans

Nlyte punches above its weight and has delivered solid ROI for large enterprise clients

Nlyte’s core capabilities provide unmatched insight and visibility in near real-time

Nlyte’s 20 plus integration connectors to key partners such as BMC, ServiceNow and HPE, etc. further cement its DCIM leadership

“With Nlyte, we not only freed up half a megawatt of power, but also extended the life of our data center from 5 to 15 years. As a result, our CIO has been able to reallocate budget from about 70% for operations and 30% for development to 40% for operations and 60% for building tools for the business.”

VPandGeneralManager,DataCenterOperations,PNCFinancialServices

“It never ceases to surprise me that there are major data centers in operation today that don’t have a DCIM tool like Nlyte. With Nlyte and its advanced analytic capabilities, we have been able to gain control over our data centers. The ability to view, model and predict our data center power, cooling and space requirements in near real-time enables us to make the most effective use of our distributed estate.”

Simon Brickett, Head of Data Center Services, Computacenter

“A selling point of Nlyte was the off-the-shelf integration with some products that we already have, and with some that we don’t currently have, but are beginning to realize that we need as a large enterprise organization. What Nlyte has done is provide us with the push of ‘we need to stop doing it the old way and start doing it a better way’.”

Sean Hendershot, Manager, Data Center Ops, IT Infrastructure Division, Canon USA Inc.
