Business-Critical Continuity™
Specifically, monitoring and management across
domains can be merged to create new capabilities
such as holistic services at a targeted service level and
actionable reporting on availability and performance.
TwoareaswhereOliverseesLiebertSiteScan
andApertureVISTAworkingtogethertoenhance
operation of his data center are maintenance and
capacity planning.
Forexample,Olivercanreconfigurethedata
center to accommodate maintenance activities;
thereby maintaining the critical infrastructure
withoutdisruptingservice.ApertureVISTAcan
map maintenance activity onto affected racks
whileLiebertSiteScancansuppressalarmsfor
the equipment under maintenance.
LiebertSiteScanandApertureVISTAcanalsowork
together to ensure Apollo Group deploys hardware
without exceeding power, space or cooling capacity.
LiebertSiteScanprovidesreal-timedataonpower
andcoolingcapacity,andApertureVISTAshows
available capacity for a proposed change.
The Results
The Apollo Group’s new data center has the capacity
to power the company’s existing business as well as
the flexibility to scale to the demands of the future.
The Data Center Operations team is confident that
it has the adaptive power and cooling infrastructure
needed to provide continuous support to the
company’s several hundred thousand students,
faculty and staff.
“The adaptive power and cooling infrastructure
gave us the availability and flexibility we needed to
continue to grow our business,” says Oliver. “Aperture
VISTAelevatedustoanotherlevelintermsoffully
understanding our data center environment.”
Specifically, the data center infrastructure
resource management system is providing a
top-down visualization of the data center with a
more detailed and sophisticated tracking of assets.
The team can easily obtain accurate, current views
of data configuration and capacities, and a controlled
procedure for equipment moves, additions
and changes.
“This new in-depth view of our data center is going
to provide numerous benefits across the board.
