DATA CENTERS TAKEN FOR GRANTED? Despite investing eight-to-nine figures for the infrastructure and assets of your data center, you risk taking the management of it for granted by not using state-of-the-art software. Your company wouldnt run its sales force nor its network monitoring with a static spreadsheet yet thats precisely whats going on in most data centers today. To compound the issue, many data centers experience asset turnover on the order of 15-20% per year. Without a central, well-managed, single version of the truth for your data center infrastructure installation, moves, adds, changes and planning, you are inviting inefficiency, risk, and worst of all, prematurely requesting a new data center.

GO FROM CHAOS TO CONTROL The beauty of Nlytes solution is it provides tangible benefits in areas you definitely need to help you run your data center like a business: Expect Hard ROI IT Asset Management needs a system like Nlyte to track your servers given constant technology refreshes and IT initiatives.

NLYTE IS THE ERP FOR YOUR DATA CENTER You need to manage what goes on in your data center it takes planning, execution and orchestration. Not unlike what ERP does for a corporation in extending into all departments making their information interconnected, Nlytes DCIM solution does the same but between all departments that touch the data center. So while it especially affects IT and facilities and anyone else directly responsible for the data center, you will need Nlyte to also communicate with procurement (e.g. someone has to order the servers), receiving (where are the servers), staffing (do I have enough people to install and move the servers), compliance (e.g. for a security audit) and so forth. Whereas other DCIM vendors focus on only a couple of the steps necessary to manage an asset or piece of infrastructures lifecycle, Nlyte has a complete solution for total visibility. No surprises. Completely manage a project from one interface. And Nlyte is specific, too, with detailed and visual work orders that reduce the risk of human error. As 75% of unplanned downtime is due to human error, wouldnt you want to mitigate that risk? FINALLY, A TRUE END-TO-END INSTALL-MOVE-ADDCHANGE PROCESS Nlytes Infrastructure Lifecycle Management orchestrates the end-to-end process for deploying new assets in the data center. It handles prototyping the deployment, verifying the capacity, assessing the impact, reserving the space, generating the work orders and tracking the project to a successful on-time completion.

100s of servers can be allocated in minutes while also confirming availability of power, cooling, space and physical and logical networks.
From planning, assessing, committing, generating work orders to tracking the project to completion, Nlyte is second-to-none.
