Data Centre Audit
Are you:
Running out of power in your data centre?
Or
Choosing to upgrade, relocate or outsource to a hosted environment?
Would it be useful to:
- Identify the real capacity of your data centre rather then estimating it using plate values
- Calculate the efficiency of your data centre
- Calculate the real cost of energy use by each server
- Monitor the real current draw of each server
- Manage alerts and events by integrating your power and environmental data into existing management tools. (Tivoli, HP Open View, Aperture etc)
AIT Partnership Group delivers a range of tools and services that resolve these issues. This includes four data centre audit options:
Power Audit
By monitoring specific racks of equipment we can build up a very "granular" picture of data centre consumption to provide real time power consumption figures. We will provide accurate (Class 1 meters + or -1%) reporting of server consumption.
This report can be used to identify:
- Data centre capacity
- Data centre efficiency
…and prove your business case for investing in virtualisation, intelligent power or a new data centre.
Data Centre Overview and Audit
Three audit options tailored to your requirements that each provide a comprehensive report. The 'overview' option will identify quick wins and areas requiring further investigation while the 'detailed' audit will give you full documentation of your entire facility, including a complete inventory of all IT assets in all data centres and other technical rooms.
Audits:
