The COVID-19 pandemic quickly forced companies to rethink how they work. Across almost every industry, and nearly overnight, organizations began to implement remote work policies and retool their IT infrastructure to support distributed teams. This change highlights the continued importance of today’s data centers in keeping businesses running and their employees connected.
With the massive increase in demand for data exchange — the backbone for business continuity — data centers must be equipped with the tools needed to keep operations running efficiently and reliably for their customers. Data center infrastructure management (DCIM), is a tool ideal for this scenario. DCIM solutions offer important benefits to data center managers — namely, access to a depth and breadth of data collection to inform decision-making across performance optimization, troubleshooting, security, and even future infrastructure investments.
