Implementation Planning Guide

As demands on the data center increase, IT and facilities departments need to be able to increase and sustain high availability, maximize efficiency, and minimize costs. Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) provides an integrated platform for monitoring and measuring consumption, capacity, and performance of both IT and facilities resources in the data center.

 

As you implement NetZoom, this document will serve as a practical guide to ensure that you are able to quickly and successfully get NetZoom up and running, as well as act as a guide and a resource for best practices. This guide does not answer every question you may have but it will give you the tools you need to get the answers to those questions, as well as generate questions you may not have considered about how best to lay out a solution for your enterprise.
