nlyte Adds Advanced Analytics To Data Centre Suite

nlyte Software announced on 6 December that it is including more extensive analytics in the newest version of its data centre performance monitoring and management package.

California-based nlyte launched version 6.0 of its Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) platform that incorporates nlyte Analytics, a set of integrated business intelligence capabilities.

These tools enable data centre managers to obtain better visibility into performance indicators involving use of electricity, cooling requirements and carbon emissions.

Reports now available from the new software suite are aimed to help administrators in capacity planning that can result in better use of power and space, which can lead to reduced data centre operating expenses.

Integrated analytics modules

nlyte Analytics contains three fully integrated modules for intelligent capacity planning that are based on a new and highly optimised business intelligence architecture. The packages also utilise the latest best practices in data warehousing, analytics and dimensional modeling.

The modules include: nlyte Dashboard, which provides management with the operational metrics required to manage sophisticated data centre facilities; nlyte Report, which provides a reporting infrastructure to create, schedule, analyse, manage and distribute reports for a variety of IT and executive audiences; and nlyte Predict, which provides the ability to forecast and model the future state of a data centre’s capacities based on historical data.

For example, an IT manager can view a high-level roll-up of capacity data for power, cooling, space and network connections across an entire data centre, incorporating full drill-down and time-series analysis, and then run a series of reports as needed.

Users also retain full flexibility to create, deploy and maintain their own dashboards using the nlyte Dashboard Manager, which enables using a wizard-driven, drag-and-drop interface and an wide choice of data visualisation conventions such as gauges, charts and maps.

nlyte said the new package is available now.
