DCIM PROVIDES ADDED VALUE
TO COLO DATACENTRES The popularity of colo datacentres is on the rise. At the same time, the industry demands greater levels of operational efficiency backed by service level agreements, transparency and reporting. Data Centre Infrastructure Management (DCIM) offers the required transparency and performance measurement of activities in colo datacentres.
Typically, a colo datacentre provides the building, cooling, power, bandwidth and physical security while the customer provides servers and storage. Space in the facility is often leased to customers by the rack, cabinet, cage or room.
Many colo datacentres have extended their offerings by customer demand to include DCIM. DCIM tools offer Asset Management, central datacentre management – a “single pane of glass” –, improved forecasting and an extended lifecycle. For the colo datacentre customers, DCIM provides complete visibility in order to track and monitor the performance of their assets.
For colo datacentres DCIM forms a bridge between facilities management and IT operations by providing a single, comprehensive view of both areas. It monitors the use and energy consumption of IT-related equipment and facility infrastructure components. The decision by colo datacentres to adopt DCIM tools marks a significant shift in attitudes.
Today, DCIM represents a win-win for both colo datacentres and customers alike. For customers, operating with a colo datacentre provider, will allow them to customise their datacentre processes to meet specific workflow needs. This ensures that DCIM solutions will provide maximum benefits and reduce the risk of roadblocks in data access and use. DCIM tools will provide companies flexibility to adjust operations quickly.
While costs for DCIM systems will vary depending upon the capabilities required to address particular challenges by the colo datacentre, perhaps it is more relevant to examine the added value that DCIM can provide. The ideal scenario is when a colo datacentre agrees with their customer the level of access and clarity given to them into the datacentre to monitor power consumption or real-time data gathering.

It’s also important for colo datacentres to understand that they need a process for DCIM. Without that, DCIM as a tool will not create a process for the business. This is key, as colo datacentres expect to achieve full return on investment (ROI) on their DCIM system investment in two- to-three years or even less.
