Magic Quadrant for Data Center Infrastructure Management Tools (DCIM)

Your data center has become a critical component of your business. So much so that many business initiatives are actually planned around the capabilities of IT.

The emergence of cloud, IT consumerization, and a lot more data has forced the data center to evolve and support new demands.

Through it all, data center management and control sit at the top of an administrator’s task list. This is because power, energy consumption, and efficiency are all critical pieces of keeping a business running and a data center healthy.

IT and business executives have realized that hundreds of thousands of dollars in energy and operational costs can be saved by improved physical infrastructure planning, by minor system reconfiguration, and by small process changes.

The systems which allow management to leverage these savings consist of modern data center physical infrastructure (i.e., power and cooling) management software tools. Legacy reporting systems, designed to support traditional data centers, are no longer adequate for new agile data centers that need to manage constant capacity changes and dynamic loads.

This new Gartner report reviews 17 vendors of Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) solutions. Based on its own expert analysis and backed up by in-depth interviews with users in the space, Gartner has published the Magic Quadrant for Data Center Infrastructure Management Tools for the first time. The report brings insight and clarity to the fast-moving field of DCIM.
