Data center infrastructure management is the process of managing all the components included in the facility’s physical infrastructure. This involves using specialized software that monitors, manages, and optimizes the various equipment and systems, including electrical and HVAC or alternative cooling solutions, environmental sensors, servers, storage, and networking devices.
Data center infrastructure management gives real-time feedback on the status and efficiency of a data center’s physical infrastructure, helping administrators quickly identify and resolve issues when they arise. It can also improve the availability and reliability of critical IT services, decrease energy costs, and increase overall efficiency.
