Where the Cloud Touches Down: Simplifying Data Center Infrastructure Management

Thursday, July 25, 2013
10:00 AM PT/1:00 PM ET

In most data centers, DCIM rests on a shaky foundation of manual record keeping and scattered documentation. OpManager replaces data center documentation with a single repository for data, QRCodes for asset tracking, accurate 3D mapping of asset locations, and a configuration management database (CMDB). In this webcast, sponsored by ManageEngine, you will see how a real-world datacenter mapping stored in racktables gets imported into OpManager, which then provides a 3D visualization of where assets actually are. You'll also see how the QR Code generator helps you make the link between real assets and the monitoring world, and how the layered CMDB provides a single point of view for all your configuration data.

Over twenty plus years, Greg has worked Sales, Technical and IT Management but mostly he does Network Engineering and Design. Today he works as a freelance consultant for F100 companies in the UK focusing on Data Centers, Security and Operational Automation. He does actual networking during the day and has clouds in his pockets. He believes that cloud computing is just a new focus on technical operations, that software quality is vital and networking is the unrealized future of everything because it's all about bandwidth. At night he finds it cathartic to write about networking at Network Compting and also at his blog . Because someone asked, he also talks about networking at http://packetpushers.net. He is known for practical opinions, technical viewpoints and being graceful when getting it wrong. Mostly.
