Data center infrastructure management (DCIM) has become an integral part of the fabric of facility operations. This session will examine how DCIM tools now have an even greater role in enabling operators to manage and optimize infrastructure.

Along with monitoring and measurement of critical resources, such as power of the utility, backup and renewable varieties, the panel will also discuss how DCIM has an increasingly strong role to play in sustainability/ESG tracking imperatives, as data centers hurtle headlong toward decarbonized and net zero operations.

The session will also consider how new DCIM tools are hitting the fiber “sweet spot” in traditional areas of network interconnection, and how the scalable rise of AI and modular edge implementations is also thickening the plot in the continuing story of the evolution of DCIM for hyperscale and colocation data centers.
