There is an impending need to ensure that power and cooling are included with virtual machines and equipment to monitor energy efficiency and savings. As availability stands as the number one priority among data center managers, it is crucial to ensure adequate resources from both IT systems and facilities are allocated before migrations and changes. The visibilities into these changes need to be delivered through centralized management consoles.

DCIM enables organizations to possess the critical capability of establishing whether the business needs all the hardware by identifying and measuring data center assets and their inherent value. At the same time, DCIM also provides the organization with clear insight into cooling requirements, power usage, utilization, applications and overall performance. With DCIM, enterprises can set measurable goals, establish business guidelines and investigate into future scenarios for their infrastructure objectives. Moreover, with the recent stress on green and energy utilization compliance, organizations are looking for ways to set realistic goals and achieve them without additional burden on their infrastructure and business resources. DCIM fills this gap perfectly and is here to stay.

At the same time, the majority of data centers are in the consolidation phase where organizations have begun to look at virtualization to see savings through cooling, space and physical server costs. Although these data centers run on virtual IT assets, policy management is weak, thereby increasing management cost. Organizations will see increased virtual machine deployments, creating need for efficient software management solutions that integrate these assets and drive savings.

MarketsandMarkets forecasts the global data center infrastructure management market to grow from $307 million in 2011 to $3.14 billion in 2017. The factors driving the overall market include green IT and sustainability, speed, budget and workload tradeoff, dynamic IT workloads and power and cooling optimization.
