IMteract - Data Centre Infrastructure Management (DCIM) and Data Centre Predictive Modelling (DCPM) Software Tool Feasibility Study

这项开放式数据中心基础设施管理(DCIM)和数据中心预测建模(DCPM)研究旨在确定设计和构建异类工具的可行性，以帮助数据中心管理人员洞察数据中心内部的复杂性，并选择一种提供更节能计算设施的工作模式。来自热监控设备的数据将与硬件热量和耗电量统计相结合，生成数据中心的实时预测模型。除了检查服务器、存储和网络设备正在使用的电力外，该工具还旨在显示数据中心内运行最热的那些应用程序。该软件将显示硬件和应用程序中的当前电力和热热点，并将模拟允许公司移动应用程序和/或设备以管理数据中心的碳足迹的潜在变化。

This open Data Centre Infrastructure Management (DCIM) & Data Centre Predictive Modelling (DCPM) study aims to establish the feasibility of designing & building an heterogeneous tool to help Data Centre Managers see through the complexity within the Data Centre & to select a mode of working which offers more energy efficient compute facilities.Data from thermal monitoring devices will be combined with hardware heat and power-draw statistics to produce real-time & predictive models of the data centre. Alongside checking the power that is being used by servers, storage and networking devices, the tool aims to show those applications which run hot within the datacentre. The software will show current power and heat hotspots in the hardware & applications, & will model potential changes allowing companies to move applications and/or equipment in order to manage the carbon footprint of the Data Centre.
