Product Details

What is Sunbird DCIM?

Sunbird's DCIM focuses exclusively on what the vendor describes as two of the biggest and costliest challenges data center operators face: monitoring and operations. Sunbird's DCIM aims to be easy to deploy and use, and its goal is to provide users the ability to better manage assets, change and capacity; it also enables power monitoring, environmental monitoring and energy management.

The Power IQ® (PIQ) edition provides the information and controls to utilize existing infrastructure resources while alerting the user to trouble before it causes downtime. PIQ software can be deployed as a standalone DCIM monitoring solution or with Sunbird’s dcTrack® DCIM Operations to provide full asset and change management.

PIQ functionality scales to meet enterprise needs, allowing you to securely monitor all your data centers and labs, including your CRACs, UPS, PDUs, RPPs, Meters, Branch Circuits, Racks, Rack PDUs, Environment Sensors, IT Devices, and Electronic Door Locks—all from a single web browser. PIQ is vendor neutral and automatically supports a number of devices and manufacturers.

dcTrack DCIM Operations provides access to real-time information about critical facilities, networks, and IT assets by removing the complexity and dependency on emails and spreadsheets, dcTrack DCIM Operations solution transforms the delivery of data center services. Featuring detailed information and visual mappings, dcTrack’s solution helps data center operators handle their most common tasks and processes faster and more efficiently than ever before, while saving costs and improving availability.

Detailed data center business intelligence and analytics about your infrastructure and visual mappings helps manage placement of IT equipment, make informed capacity management decisions, and keep track of data center assets.

When integrated with a CMDB or change management system for workflow functionality, dcTrack aims to provide additional ROI, especially during any data center relocation, consolidation, or new build project. dcTrack can be deployed as a standalone DCIM operations solution or with Sunbird’s Power IQ® DCIM Monitoring Software for power, energy, environment, and cabinet security monitoring.

Sunbird's DCIM - dcTrack moves you away from the not knowing what is in your Data Center environment

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Sunbird dcTrack will move to address all add, moves, and changes with our enterprise data centers and over time our local data centers/server rooms. The process will move inventory and allocation away from an Excel spreadsheet to process allocation while monitoring and supporting capacity needs. We have plans to make the inventory our product of truth.
Pros and Cons
  • Inventory tracking.
  • Capacity planning.
  • Integration with PowerIQ - manages power, cooling and humidity status.
  • Provide power and network/SAN connect paths.
  • Statistics on the infrastructure within a given data center.
Likelihood to Recommend
There are a few things that need work from flexibility within the asset process documentation. The interfacing with CMDB will be easier if the asset documentation had more flexibility in the standard fields. The product will support our need for a central depository of all assets, connections, and usage within our data centers, which at this time is managed by a spreadsheet with limited access. The ability to review and set goals of environmental and capacity has not been easy, with dcTrack this has become much easier than dealing with Excel tabs.
Most Important Features
  • Comprehensive asset inventory.
  • Capacity understanding.
  • Power usage within a location.
  • Balancing the loads of a given environment.
Return on Investment
  • Hard to say at this time what I will gain or the company will gain for the user but to understand all assets in a Data Center in a single location is a great tool for support and maintenance cost analysis.
  • To be able to see or understand the power needs of a given location provides the need of understanding cost impact under the different location cost models.
