A DATA CENTER INFRASTRUCTURE MANAGEMENT (DCIM) SYSTEM COMPRISING PREDICTIVE ANALYTICS

摘要

A Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) system comprising predictive analytics and methods for collecting data, analyzing data, optimizing infrastructure efficiency and automating management of data center infrastructure systems and components is disclosed. The DCIM system comprising predictive analytics may generally comprise a DCIM appliance or server, data collection hardware, database hardware, software for collecting data from a plurality of infrastructure systems, infrastructure components and wireless sensors, presentation client software, reporting software and an intelligent predictive analytics engine. The intelligent predictive analytics engine may be employed to identify infrastructure optimization actions enabling the DCIM system software or DCIM element controller to enact changes to the operational state of data center infrastructure systems or components to sustain optimal data center infrastructure efficiency. The DCIM system comprising predictive analytics may continuously collect and analyze infrastructure system, infrastructure components and environmental data.
