Abstract
RagingWire, a leading colocation provider, will share their innovative approach to converged capacity management and explain how it is helping its customers get a holistic view into available capacity. In this session, you'll also learn how RagingWire is extending CA Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) technology to help better understand both the physical capacity inside the data center as well as the logical capacity of its existing environment. With a more holistic view into its data center infrastructure, RagingWire can respond more quickly to its internal customers as well as deliver more reliable services to its customers. (See related session: Meet The Experts: Q&A for “Case Study: RagingWire - Improving Service Delivery by Extending DCIM to Manage Data Center and IT Capacity”.)
