Beyond the Basics: A Guide to Procuring DCIM Software

Analyst report by 451 Research, published on 12/19/2012

Datacenter infrastructure management (DCIM) is an important class of software that we believe will become essential for running modern, flexible and efficient datacenters. In recent years, DCIM has been widely promoted. Many datacenter operators now understand the basics of the technology and the main issues involved in procurement. However, in addition to the standard DCIM procurement issues, there are many less obvious considerations and questions to ask vendors when choosing systems.

This report covers special considerations for assessing and procuring DCIM software. Its primary goal is to arm organizations with crucial insights for selecting a DCIM product that will meet the needs of their particular datacenter(s). The report also provides specific questions to ask DCIM vendors. These can be used as a guide to help ensure that important, but less obvious, DCIM procurement issues are not overlooked. 451 Research has drawn these issues from its own analysis of the DCIM market, and from its discussions with datacenter managers who have deployed DCIM software.
