This helps to get the right metrics useful for future analysis and growth.The sheer volume of alarm data can overwhelm data center operators, especially if thresholds and notification policies are too broad. As a result, the data gets ignored, including potentially important alarms. How should the DCIM data be handled to overcome this issue?Technology tools along with artificial intelligence and machine learning concepts generate large amount of data, and it can also analyze between the fake alerts versus the genuine alerts. These tools provide data which can predict the failure symptoms and provide proactive information that can be handled with proactive health hygiene process and thus reduce the failure alerts. Using those technologies, the human dependency or errors can be significantly reduced for regular monitoring operations. Proper configuration is a crucial process that needs to be performed if the DCIM system is to live up to expectations. This includes setting-up alarm thresholds, notification policies, user access rights, UPS & cooling unit operator parameters and lots more. What are the key checkpoints that need to be considered for a proper implementation of DCIM systems?The key points for proper implementation of DCIM Systems include a proper planning and sizing, which are required to predict the kind of growth that could be forecasted and planned, including having some buffer sizing to provide flexibility for the dynamic growth as well. Power scheduling and cooling concepts are also important. Another important factor is security ­ how secure are we in safeguarding the data as well as the infrastructure, so that we don't have any breach incidents.How do you see the future of DCIM market in India?The DCM market is definitely growing, which can be witnessed from many of the new data centers coming now in the next one or two years. Already, many of the existing players are in the expansion zone, and there are many more in the pipeline to enter this space. It is a big potential for the data centers' growth in India. And considering the volume of data growth that gets pushed into the datacenter or private/public cloud, it is definitely a big boon to the data center world. We have to do a fair analysis of our requirements and then plan accordingly for the deployment so that we get the best out of the deployment, both in terms of benefits as well as cost optimization.
