Data Center Computing Progression
Multiple computing models will persist for foreseeable future
On-Premise Public hybrid
Data centers demand... more visibility and operational control than ever
The 6 Pillars for a successful datacenter manager
Real-time Historical TRENDs and
Power, Thermal, Health Predictions
Monitoring & analytics Improves uptime and helps identify
Identify systems with older firmware under-utilized devices
Cross-platform support
Easy to install, integrate and scale
aggregated data
To physical groups
(e.g. room/row/rack) & logical groups
Broad Device Coverage
Better inventory and capacity planning
(PDUs, UPSs, SANs, NASs, etc.)
Accurate Power Capping
Helps increase rack density,
Decreases costs and improves efficiency
Intel® DCM Overview Web-based SDK
Intel DCM is a solution for monitoring Management Console
and managing the health, power, and
thermals of servers and a variety of Intel® Data Center Manager (Web Services APIs)
other types of devices. Monitor Control Optimize Analyze Predict

Predict Fan Failures & Estimate SSD Lifespan
Integrate into other management solutions
System Manageability
Monitor server and sub-component Remote connect to servers via the
health in real time and get alerts integrated BMC KVM
Warning
!
Check the FW version of servers and
identify outliers
Perform FW updates on Intel Server
Systems in batches remotely
Identifying Underutilized Servers
Identifying underutilized or “ghost” servers
can be tricky, but can save significant costs
DCM uses historical utilization and power
data to determine if servers have not been
utilized for a long time
That way you can decide to decide to shut
down remotely
Power off low-utilized Server Saving $25,200 per year
Note: 0.1kw x 0.08/kwh x 1.8 x 24 x 365 x 1000 x 20%= 25,200
