Monitoring and managing data center infrastructure
Monitoring and managing data center infrastructure requires constant monitoring. Every year there are more and more new products that are used in the data center machine rooms. In this regard, data center operators need tools for monitoring and management that can reduce the load and automate routine work, thereby simplifying the lives of staff and allowing them to engage in more unique, non-standard work. Also increases the reliability and efficiency of the data center. I bring to your attention the developers: LogicMonitor , Cisco Systems and Vigilent, which will be discussed below.
LogicMonitor company develops and monitors the network, manages the system and manages the computer network to manage the data center. She is able to attract about $ 130 million in the form of private equity. This sum is 10 times higher than the funds collected from previous rounds of financing. The main office of the company is located in Santa Barbara, California (USA). The company was founded in 2007, it develops software for monitoring the network infrastructure of the data center and managing many systems within the data center itself, provides customers with access to these services through the cloud. Customers in the company accrue more than 1 yew. We managed to quickly expand our client base at the expense of such companies as: JetBlue Airways , Zendesk , Trulia, National Geographic , Citrix .

Data center operators can monitor the operation of servers, network switches, data storage systems and equipment for power distribution within the data center. The functionality of the product also extends to the management of computing capacity within the corporate data center or through the cloud. LogicMonitor's competition in this direction is made by such companies as: IBM , Hewlett Packard Enterprise . I also use software agents called “collectors” (collectors), they collect information and send it to the cloud platform for further analytical processing.
Having collected a significant amount, LogicMonitor will use these funds to meet the growing needs in the rapidly developing IT industry and will strengthen its position in the global market. These funds will help develop your own engineering and technical department, intensify sales, expand marketing projects and strengthen your position in the global market.
One of the main directions of the company is to find out more about what is happening on server farms and send all their efforts to develop solutions for monitoring the data center, analytical processing of the collected information and data from the entire data center infrastructure. Previously, the company has already announced this technology for monitoring data movement between servers in corporate and commercial data centers. This technology will help you find the right hardware optimization solution that will enable you to more effectively maintain workloads. It also helps data center engineers quickly search for and fix technical failures and fix security holes.
Cisco plans to use special software that will be installed on the server hardware inside the computer halls of the data center itself, embedded in the sensor chips. Such software and hardware systems will resemble a kind of virtual sensors. With their help, it will be possible to track different problems - each sensor is able to track up to 1 million digital events per second. This report goes to other Cisco software, where it is processed using an artificial intelligence algorithm and provides a detailed report and recommendations regarding data center optimization at all its levels, it is called Tetration Analytics.
The company introduced its new software package, which aims to optimize the thermal regime. This is a strategically important data center infrastructure using artificial intelligence. Called - Vigilent Prescriptive Analytics. It includes 3 modules at once: Reliability Assurance, Capacity Optimization and Energy Efficiency.
The software informs about possible future problems in controlling the thermal regime of the data center using an analytical algorithm, and provides a report with detailed recommendations in order to avoid such problems. It allows you to minimize the risks, such as: the occurrence of equipment malfunction from untimely maintenance; insufficient redundancy of the cooling system (which is a very important factor for the infrastructure of the DC), which can cause “cold spots” (when certain areas in the workshop are supercooling) and “hot spots” (insufficient cooling in certain locations in the assembly hall), which subsequently to the inefficient use of data center resources.
Reliability Assurance module - it determines the actual load on the cooling system of the DC and helps to optimally select the desired mode for certain places, in order to avoid unnecessary redundancy.
Capacity Optimization module - helps to optimize the cooling capacity, taking into account the predicted weather and avoid downtime due to extreme weather conditions.
Energy Efficiency Module - provides a report and recommendations on energy efficiency and savings, when possible.
