Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) Solutions
PUE, DCiE, DCO, AUE, VM, uptime, load capacity…
How do you manage and monitor your IT acronyms? Here’s how!
Since, 1997, Premier Solutions Co. has provided Data Center Optimization (DCO) services and solutions to enterprise data centers encompassing 3 million square feet, 10,000 cabinets and 250,000 servers/systems.
“DCIM tools are evolving rapidly and will become a key part of a data center manager’s arsenal during the next few years, providing valuable data needed to report on and improve energy efficiencies, identify potential infrastructure trouble spots and increase the effectiveness of capacity planning. To take advantage of the benefits as they evolve, I&O leaders should begin the DCIM evaluation process in 2010 and 2011.”
- GARTNER
Premier Solutions Co. understands the pain of managing the physical infrastructure and the parts of a data center. Informed decisions are required to enable day-to-day efficiencies and operations necessary for proactive data center management. We have successfully completed over 45 physical infrastructure build-outs, provided optimization services such as cooling the data center, managing power loads and managing server access for over 50 million square feet of space since our inception in 1997.
We are an elite partner for the leading providers of Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) software: Aperature, APC, Avocent and Modius. Our mantra is to assist with the DCIM that best meets your growing IT demand, whether your operation is 1,000 square feet or multiple sites of over 1 million square feet. Premier Solutions Co. and our partners can tailor a program for you.
The data-center group AFCOM predicts that in the next five years, more than 90 percent of companies’ data centers will be interrupted at least once because of power constrictions.
