Study on Data Center Optimal Management by utilizing Data Center Infrastructure Management

Abstract

Data Centers (DCs) are becoming increasingly important in recent years and require efficient operation and management. Thus, a topic of focus has been DC Infrastructure Management (DCIM) that can manage ICT equipment, power equipment, HVAC systems, etc. In this study, we developed a method to design the ICT equipment layout in the server room by using DCIM and Computer Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The method's effectiveness was evaluated and its ability to achieve efficient data center operation and management was validated.
