Federal data centers are at a pivotal moment in their efforts to modernize and align with evolving governmental mandates.
The introduction of the Data Center Optimization Initiative (DCOI) in 2016 spurred significant consolidation and cost savings. However, gaps identified by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) underscore the need for further improvement.
Proposed legislation aims to bolster optimization efforts with stringent requirements for sustainability, availability, resiliency, and cybersecurity. Despite challenges, data center modernization remains imperative to mitigate risks associated with outdated systems and capitalize on the benefits of modern infrastructure.
Sunbird’s Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) software emerges as an important tool in this endeavor, offering asset management, monitoring, efficient resource utilization, and robust reporting capabilities to support federal data center initiatives.
This eBook explores how Sunbird DCIM supports the modernization and optimization goals for federal agencies.
