The breadth of information provided by DCIM enables Data Center Managers to impart intelligence cross-departmentally and directly to the desk of executives. Learn how a DCIM solution can be leveraged for optimal understanding of the data centers current state and projected needs in terms of cost. This webinar will provide a high-level view of DCIM's value and is intended for any person involved in making decisions in the data center.
18. ROI savings calculations Retiring a server = 300 watts at $.11/kWh Use PUE to estimate cooling savings Network cost savings = $50/port If every server uses 1 man hour per month in support, then removing 100 servers is worth 10,000 man hours (5 man years) OS and application costs between $3-5K/yr
In the end, the importance is ensuring business availability at the best cost.
Here’s why…When reducing IT load, PUE calculation changes and looks worse. Adjustments to infrastructure must be made.How many of you receive bonuses based on PUE?
Understand how IT and Infrastructure intersect because it is the only way to tie the costs to the business. >1% of organizations using DCIM today, 60% within 5 years according to Gartner
Achieved through the implementation of specialized software, or hardware and sensors, DCIM will enable a common, real-time monitoring and management platform for all interdependent systems across IT and facility infrastructures.
Each department is focused on their responsibility, without congruence.Facilities-- Energy Delivery, CIO-- Business Intelligence, IT-- Power ConsumptionAll three speak different languages.

Brief example. A real world scenario--- we have worked with a fortune 500 company, a 10x ROI was incurred of our software. $1,000,000/yr. was saved.
