"With dcTrack we have an up-to-minute picture of capacities in all our data centers in terms of power, space, networking and cooling. As a result, we are able to track our data center capacity more accurately and assess our infrastructure needs for the future. Before we deployed dcTrack, it would mean a trip out onto the data center floor to confirm or deny that a server is in a certain location. Now, we can just pull up the asset information on the dcTrack screen and see that server X is located in this rack, in this U; or see that it is no longer a physical server, but is now a virtual server. Accurate asset records have given us a 50 percent gain in efficiency in terms of locating an asset's physical location within the data centers. dcTrack leads us through each step of the process to fulfill a new server request. Once the IT equipment gets delivered to us, we then go do the physical racking, connecting, labeling -- and then come back and close out the request in dcTrack, which notifies LANDesk that the equipment is ready to go. This process makes it easier to make adds and changes, and improves the accuracy of our asset inventory."

"There is a need to increase efficiency through technology...data center infrastructure management tools like dcTrack help you with power management, capacity planning and change management. System monitoring tools help you track the health of the network."

“Deploying devices is so much easier to perform with 100% accuracy. The many visualizations such as device, cabinet, and floor plan (including 3D) are quite valuable to me.”

“Sunbird Software DCIM… is our eyes into our remote colocation facilities. It replaces all of our spreadsheets for tracking assets. The new dashboard provides an accurate bird’s-eye view of capacity and health and lets us easily drill down to details. The DCIM-generated reports on capacity and assets have been invaluable for managing assets and resources and save us hours of effort each week.”

"The largest improvement that I see is being able to monitor power usage in our lab and making sure that our PDUs don’t get overloaded. We’ve gone through a few retirement phases and we can track that with the graphs in PIQ — we see the power usage going down. Being able to see the temperature throughout our lab is also pivotal."

"The support from Sunbird is beyond excellent. They're very quick to respond to inquiries and are always willing to provide whatever help we need."
