As more enterprises run multiple data centres for load sharing and redundancy, admins find it difficult to gain clear overall visibility into their data centres. Conventional data centre documentation tools such as Excel and Visio do not provide a dynamic, realistic view of the data centre. In turn, admins have to sift through multiple pages of documents to trace a particular device that has to be removed from the rack for maintenance. Meanwhile, the visual modeling tools available in the market fail to offer the 3D views that data centre admins require.
“A life-like, realistic view of the data centre is necessary for gaining more visibility and managing it better,” said Dev Anand, director of product management at ManageEngine. “With RackBuilder Plus, data centre admins can create an exact replica of the data centre floor with all the racks and devices populated — in 3D. This makes it easy for them to quickly locate a device or a rack.”
RackBuilder Plus offers an easy-to-use rack and floor builder that lets data centre admins create 3D views of racks and data centre floors. Admins just drag and drop devices onto the racks and then drag and drop the racks onto the floors. RackBuilder Plus combines 3D visual modelling with device monitoring to help admins identify the health status of the devices in real time.
RackBuilder Plus also improves facilities management by making it easier for admins to identify the free slots available in each rack as well as the rack space available on each floor. This helps data centre admins find out their rack and floor utilisation and plan accordingly for future expansion. RackBuilder Plus also supports data migration from other data centre documentation tools such as Device42 and RackTables.
RackBuilder Plus is built on OpManager, ManageEngine’s highly scalable, data centre infrastructure management software that can monitor 50,000 devices or 1 million interfaces from a single server. Data centre admins seeking more visibility and management into their data centre can convert RackBuilder Plus into OpManager for network management, physical and virtual server monitoring, fault management, workflow automation, asset management and more.
