Harnessing the advantages of DCIM technology

DCIM technology

CIOs consider DCIM technology as the next “IT” thing in edge analytics. The tech is no longer focused only on the building and maintenance of IT services and products but goes beyond.

Data Centre Infrastructure Management is the future of edge analytics. The tech is concerned with innovations in remote provisioning, uninterrupted uptime, and big data platforms.

The latest trending technology is a mixture of building infrastructure and IT inside a single data center. Using the latest features like big data, zero-touch provisioning and automation has enabled the tech to be involved in the core of edge analytics. The place has been enhanced due to the tech’s capability to ensure business continuity within an infrastructure.

CIOs say that data center managers are needed to support the emerging trends in edge computing like smart cities, content delivery, AR and VR, and autonomous vehicles. DCIM tech enables data center managers to manage business continuity and uptime to allow such innovative processes.

Edge analytics discussion, in general, is dependent on the vertical and industry. In the energy and logistics industry, use cases exist for control and management, when the industry leaders consider infrastructure required for deploying real-time optimization or predictive maintenance solutions. More solutions and opportunities are expected by the advancement of inexpensive bandwidth and 5G.

Enterprise leaders say that there are a small number of trends which boost the edge analytics transformation. The main factor is that a vast volume of data is migrated every hour to the cloud.

This has a direct connection to the increasing count of digitization efforts in the IT industry. The transformation has considerably increased due to improved analytics, delivery capabilities, and cloud services processing features. These are equal to the cost savings for the organizations that conventionally depended on data centers.

Increased adoption and cloud utilization have increased the number of use cases with more accurate bandwidth, latency, resiliency, and privacy needs. In such scenarios, edge analytics has ensured to provide better solutions for real-time analysis of data. CIOs believe that edge processed data has reduced bandwidth and latency compared to data processed at the data center.

Data breaches have reduced controllability when the data is transferred to a centralized cloud data store from the edge. When edge analytics is adopted, organizations are allowed better control and visibility over data security. All clients, regardless of wholesale, enterprise, and the ones in between, want the same results from edge service providers: service unification.

Industry leaders are pushing for the consolidation of IoT tools and services with big data tech. By combining big data analytics and edge analytics, the cloud platform enables end-users to process data for reduced latency locally. The service also helps embed the ML model into the cloud and then score them for predictive maintenance in real-time.

Clients need a higher level of agility to easily and rapidly manage business interruptions and simultaneously use the best insights to help in decision making. They are looking for ways to optimize business tasks and maximize existing investments. A consolidated analytics platform allows enterprises to decrease the time needed for project development.
