Even before the COVID-19 pandemic struck, data center managers were increasingly turning to data center software to manage their data centers remotely and drive smarter, more data-driven management. Now, COVID-19’s impact on data centers has included data center professionals being under orders to shelter-in-place and to keep the number of staff on-site to a minimum. As a result, more and more data center managers are leveraging Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) software to remotely manage their data centers.
In our recent webinar titled “How to Remotely Manage Your Data Center,” data center experts Fred Bathje, Data Center Engineer, Argonne National Laboratory, Neil Cotmore, Data...

Modern data centers are complex, high-density systems with hundreds or thousands of interconnected devices. Today, effective data center management is reliant on your ability to easily document and understand these devices and how they are connected to one another.
What is Data Center Network Documentation?
Data center network documentation is the practice of maintaining records of computer networks to provide data center managers the information they need about the devices in the data center and how they are arranged. This information allows you to accurately plan capacity, perform failover analysis, manage virtual and physical connections, and quickly respond to outages. Good network doc...

Data center operations is the role of individuals (data center operators) tasked within a data center to oversee technical and IT issues. This includes management of computer and server operations, services and applications, massive quantities of data, and the protection and security of that data.
While some of these tasks require direct management, many can be automated to decrease the number of on-site staff, eliminate unnecessary manual tasks, and reduce associated business expenses.
What are the typical tasks in data center operations?
Upgrading data center hardware and software
Distribution and storage of data
Backup processes
Emergency planning
Technical support
