DCIM helps keep health care provider in tip-top shape
The reliability of critical IT equipment is paramount.
UC Health brings together the region’s top clinicians and researchers to provide world-class health care to the Cincinnati community and beyond. From their flagship University of Cincinnati Medical Center to the state-of-the-art West Chester Hospital, UC Health delivers the absolute best in treatment and care. Continually recognized for excellence and backed by the academic strength of the University of Cincinnati, one of the nation’s top 25 public research universities, UC Health is revolutionizing the way in which discovery driven care is delivered. Because their physicians are teachers and researchers at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, they are able to provide patients with high quality and innovative medical treatment and care.
Working in a health care environment, the reliability of critical IT equipment is paramount and the ability of the IT department to identify, isolate and correct any equipment failures is vital. This is what led Matt Kilgus, data center manager, to start researching DCIM solutions that would work for the organization. After researching different DCIM vendors, Kilgus created a shortlist of key criteria when evaluating different solutions which included: overall price, number of devices that can be monitored and notification capability. “When I met with the representative from Geist I felt their solution met our needs. Their prices were fair and they offered personalized service. I didn’t feel like a number.”
