Overall Satisfaction with Sunbird DCIM

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.
  • 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.
  • Connectivity simplified.
  • Flexibility in port and connection definition.
  • Asset documentation of owners, project and responsible teams.
  • Comprehensive asset inventory.
  • Capacity understanding.
  • Power usage within a location.
  • Balancing the loads of a given environment.
  • 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.

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.
