Dynamix DCIM SUITE

Companies conventionally have varied systems to monitor and control different aspects of the data center infrastructure which includes IT equipment and facilities. For instance:

• System for monitoring electric plan
• System for monitoring critical mechanical control
• Business management systems
• Environment temperature monitoring suite
• Battery monitoring system, etc.

Each system has a diverse mechanism for monitoring specific components, with separate consoles which seldom task to each other; thus making centralized monitoring and control and myth. 

Dynamix SUITE is the solution to bridge the gap between facilities and IT equipment management. It intends to provide an integrated single-console infrastructure management platform. Its software and services are designed to manage the data center infrastructure holistically from a central control dashboard, hence help data center managers make smarter decisions regarding efficiency, availability and capacity utilizations.

Dynamix SUITE extends the more traditional systems and network management approaches to include the physical and asset-level components. It aims to provide information that is complete, accurate, understandable and has audit level capability. Individuals from IT, facility and C-level executives shall all use the same dashboard which would provide information that understandable and which is accessible from anywhere in the world.

Dynamix SUITE's Features

• Real-Time Monitoring

Dynamix SUITE’s core feature is to provide Real-Time monitoring. Real-time monitoring has a lot of advantages, for instance with rack-level temperature monitoring the data center manager can operate the data center at a higher temperature thus saving money on energy usage.

•   Trend Analysis

Dynamix SUITE’s Trend Analysis can be used for predictive maintenance, thus help the data center manager identify critical system failures before they happen.

• Universal Dashboard

 All monitoring systems offer particular equipment/domain to monitor. For instance SolarWinds only offers to monitor network equipment, bandwidth and logs. CA Unicenter, Cisco CiscoWorks are tools for network management. For BMS Honeywell Excel and Siemens Apogee are widely used. In addition there are number of hardware manufacturers that provide monitoring tools that focus on one and only one platform, hence may not integrate with the overall platform management solution.

Dynamix SUITE gets all these different type of equipment monitoring under one umbrella, thus making it very easy for a NOC team to monitor everything in a glance.

• To-the-point Information

Over information will lead to confusion. To monitor a data-center efficiently NOC team should have necessary information in glance. Our system gets necessary information first and if required enable user to access advance information

• Daily and Monthly checklist

This feature allow user to define a checklist for every device in datacenter. The report generation can be scheduled so that the data center manager can directly see the output and checklist can be done without login into any device or any human intervention.
