Sunbird dcTrack DCIM Operations
ready for large-scale Edge and
5G deployments
Sunbird Software, a global innovator
in data centre management
software, has announced the
general availability of its latest dcTrack
Data Center Infrastructure Management
(DCIM) Operations software.
Full support for direct
current power chain objects
and calculations
With Release 7.1, dcTrack now fully
supports all direct current –48 Volt power
chain objects and calculations. When the
load of compute devices is connected
to a direct current power chain, dcTrack
will serve as an electrical engineer and
accurately perform all the necessary
calculations to ensure that the load can
be handled by the power chain, reducing
unexpected downtime. New supported
objects include fuse alarm panels, battery
distribution bays, power plant rectifiers
and battery strings. dcTrack performs
battery runtime calculations based on
detailed battery specifications and the
present plant load.
The user can further simulate future
expected load and model the effect on
battery runtime.
Release 7.1 solidifies Sunbird’s position as
an industry standard in second-generation
DCIM with brand-new dashboard widgets
that provide zero-configuration analytics
and business intelligence.
WITH DCTRACK,
IT HAS NEVER
BEEN EASIER
TO SEE AND
ANALYSE ALL
THE DATA BEING
COLLECTED
IN OUR DATA
CENTRE.
“The new dashboard widgets continue our
vision of transforming data into actionable
insights,” said Herman Chan, President,
Sunbird Software. “Data centre devices
and soon Edge and 5G sites will generate
a massive volume and variety of data, but
many data centre managers don’t have
the time or training to be able to collect
that data, analyse it, gain insights from
it and ultimately, derive value from it.
We listened to our customers for what
Key Performance Indicators matter most
to them, and with Release 7.1, Sunbird
provides those metrics out of the box in
zero-configuration dashboard widgets
that make it fast and easy for data centre
managers to access the most important
information on their data centre resources
and capacities.”
New dashboard KPIs simplify
data centre business intelligence
and analytics
dcTrack Release 7.1 introduces new
dashboard widgets to deliver data centre
managers at-a-glance views of their
most important data centre KPIs. The
Power Chain Breaker Utilization widget
allows greater insight into the power
chain, providing data centre managers
the ability to get the most out of their
existing resources and avoid bottlenecks
and costly downtime. The Historical
Item Counts widget gives data centre
managers a simple view of the rate of
growth of their asset counts over time and
can be filtered by function. dcTrack now
has over 100 dashboard widgets, each
of which can be drilled down to provide
thousands of detailed reports to help data
centre managers make the most-informed,
data-driven decisions.
“With dcTrack, it has never been easier
to see and analyse all the data being
collected in our data centre,” said Tim
Healy, Comcast. “The solution provides
dashboard widgets for everything I need
to monitor, right out of the box.” ◊
