Explore the challenges of navigating DCIM 3.0 with this blog post from Schneider Electric. Get insight on significant market shifts, emerging cybersecurity threats, and the growing focus on security, resiliency and sustainability in data center management.
DCIM 3.0 refers to the latest evolution in Data Center Infrastructure Management software, which has emerged in response to the growing complexities of hybrid IT environments. It builds on earlier versions, DCIM 1.0 and 2.0, by addressing new challenges such as the need for better visibility across geographically dispersed sites and the increasing importance of cybersecurity and sustainability in IT management.
Why is cybersecurity a priority for DCIM 3.0?
Cybersecurity is a critical focus for DCIM 3.0 because it has become the top concern for business interruptions, with 45% of companies fearing cyber incidents according to the Allianz Risk Barometer. As IT infrastructures expand and become more complex, the need for better management tools to secure these environments is essential to mitigate risks associated with a larger attack surface.
How is sustainability integrated into DCIM 3.0?
Sustainability is increasingly recognized as a priority for IT organizations within the DCIM 3.0 framework. While initially considered speculative, recent discussions in media outlets indicate that CIOs are beginning to confront sustainability mandates. This shift suggests that organizations are looking for solutions that not only enhance operational efficiency but also align with environmental goals, making sustainability a key consideration in IT infrastructure management.
