A Data-centric Approach to managing Data Centres.

 "Looking forward to @datacentresire this year. Great speakers and content are looking good, and we’re looking forward to being there."

Data Centre operators are facing increasing challenges as the sector matures and new deployment methodologies are being adopted. The result is a range of business issues which need to be addressed by data centre owners and operators with tools that address the following areas:

• Complex hybrid digital environments
• Edge adoption and remote ‘dark’ sites
• Increasing number of data sources
• Requirements for true integration
• Uptime, availability and time to service
• Operational efficiency and cost reduction (Genuine ROI)
• A need for improved capacity / resource planning and management
• Ambitions for automation, analytics, ML and ultimately AI

These challenges are resulting to changes in approach to data centre management. This is especially true for the operational tools needed to properly manage their day to day activities in distributed data centres. A key change is the requirement for a tool that provides a single source of truth. This is not simply a single pane of glass or dashboard summary. It should include full integration with business systems and processes with the sharing of data across multiple separate systems. All assets in the business being accurately tracked, reported upon and viewed in the same consistent way by all departments sharing a single federated database.
