Dołączył: 05 Mar 2024 Posty: 1

Imagine that you are at the beginning of a very long aisle in a grocery store. You fill your shopping cart up with items you want, then give it a strong push down the long aisle so it is now rolling by itself. Along its journey, people are adding and subtracting items from the cart. You then retrieve the shopping cart at the other end of the aisle and proceed to the checkout counter. The cashier begins to ring each item up and upon completion you are shocked at how much it costs! Not only the price is shocking, but you don’t want some of the items and others are long past their expiration date. But you have to pay for the entire load anyway.

This is what data center administrators are facing when grappling with po Israel Telegram Number Data wer usage and identifying the consumption culprits connected to the network or within the facility. Gathering data from all the connected assets and reconciling it is the goal, but many administrators and data center managers lack a mechanism or a true data source that can present them with a list and locations of all devices drawing power. They need visibility and they need a service to achieve it.

One means of attaining visibility and helping to achieve the goal of knowing what is drawing power on the network is to deploy a technology asset management (TAM) solution. A TAM solution provides a perpetual flow of asset intelligence that keeps the data fresh and enables admins and managers to locate all devices and inventory their current state as well as any changing status that may occur over time.

Location is key. Some of the older legacy asset management systems don’t have the ability to geo-locate devices like the more recent solutions can. Now admins can identify device locations, and power hardware down if necessary. In addition, people adding devices to the network is a constant issue to contend with. On average, there is approximately 4% of technology connected to a network that nobody knows about. It would be nice to press a button and get a report of where all the devices reside. After all, it is the admin/manager’s job to ensure that each part of the facility is operating as expected – despite continuing power changes.
