TOP 40 DATA CENTER KPIS
PRESENTED BY i
Introduction
Modern data center managers are under constant pressure to do more with less while simultaneously being tasked with maximizing uptime and optimizing for efficiency and capacity utilization . In today ’ s ever-changing data center environment , insights from data provide a critical competitive advantage to help tackle these challenges . To gauge success and ensure business objectives are met , data center managers are increasingly turning to big data analytics to provide the necessary information , but with the massive volume and variety of data generated by data center devices , they don ’ t always have the time or training to be able to collect that data , analyze it , and ultimately derive value from it . Plus , when using legacy tools like
Excel and Visio , it ’ s simply not possible to holistically see and analyze this data . So how do you know where to begin , what to track , and what your goals should be ? Based on our conversations with hundreds of customers in our global user groups for our Data Center Infrastructure Management ( DCIM ) solution , we ’ ve consolidated feedback on what data matters the most and compiled a list of the top 40 Key Performance Indicators ( KPIs ) that all data center managers should monitor to improve the overall health and efficiency of their data centers . If the list seems overwhelming , know that measuring these KPIs is easy with DCIM software . In fact , with a modern DCIM solution , many of the KPIs come right out of the box in dashboard widgets and reports requiring zero configuration . u
