Description
Integrating market-leading systems for HPE Asset Management and Data Center Infrastructure Management provides substantial, wide-ranging benefits at a low premium to the base cost of the two systems. Integration between Data Center Infrastructure Management and Asset Manager provides a common ground for data center managers and procurement managers to:
-
Use powerful tools to monitor and report on data center operations
-
Proactively manage capacity, based on business and IT forecasts:
-
Accurately predict new data center requirements
-
Manage consolidation projects
-
Right-size infrastructure resources
-
Stretch lifespan of existing data centers
-
Maximize ROI (Return on Investment)
-
Make operational improvements
-
-
Enforce industry Best Practices via integrated and standardized processes:
-
Perform compliance tracking and reporting
-
Access enhanced inventory and floor plan information
-
Improve energy efficiency (green initiatives)
-
Offset rising energy costs
-
As a result of this integration, Asset Manager's powerful procurement capabilities are complemented by the fine-tuned Data Center management and provisioning facilities of Data Center Infrastructure Management. The two workflows, for procurement and provisioning, can progress in parallel - synchronized and controlled at key status points. Consider the key scenario where a new device needs to be installed in a Data Center. A user requests the new device in Asset Manager through a classical request. The device he wants to be installed is added to a request. A corresponding request is created in Data Center Infrastructure Management, to which more detailed installation details can be added. Two workflows are then managed:
-
In Asset Manager: The procurement workflow starts. The request is validated. New equipment is ordered, if necessary, and eventually reserved from stock for the installation.
-
In Data Center Infrastructure Management: The provisioning workflow starts. The power, network, space and storage are provisioned for the new devices to be installed.
