Data Center Management
Data Center Management
Device42’s powerful data center infrastructure management (DCIM) capabilities have revolutionized the way IT departments manage their data centers.
With powerful data center visualization tools, IT staff now have access to intelligent data center diagrams that accurately reflect their IT environment.
Data Center Room Layouts
Powerful DCIM features make it easy to model data center layouts. Map buildings, rooms, and individual racks visually with powerful drag and drop editors.
- Drag & drop objects
- Easily change rack orientation
- Hover over for a quick view of object details
- Select an object to jump to its page
- Heat maps offer at-a-glance availability
Auto-generate Rack Diagrams
Device42’s rack diagrams make manual drawings and spreadsheet records a thing of the past. Creating accurate rack diagrams is now fast and easy!
- Support for ½-U and ½-depth devices
- Model filler panels alongside populated patch panels
- See available rack units and auto-locate the next available slot
- Mount PDUs both in and around the rack
- Drag and drop objects between racks

Power Management
With Device42 DCIM, you can reduce data center operational risk and improve capacity planning with total visibility of your power chain, including real-time power monitoring from supported Power Distribution Units (PDUs), Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPSs), Computer Room Air Conditioners (CRACs), branch circuits, and more using Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
With historical power data, Device42 can help you take the complexity out of data center energy management while adding efficiency to your capacity planning.
- Control power more efficiently with a centralized view.
- Manage data center health with color heat maps at the room- and rack-level, providing infeed and temperature data.
- View reports and charts showing historical power data for predictive modeling.
- Set fully configurable alerts to warn you about anomalous conditions.
- Gain visibility of the power source to the hardware that is dependent on it.
Thermal Management
High-powered density racks place greater demands on data center managers to anticipate and avoid thermal-related problems.
Device42’s Data Center Thermal Management capabilities gives you real-time and historical data and visualization to help increase server performance and reliability, while reducing risk.
- Collect real-time temperature and humidity readings from sensors within a data center and visualize thermal temperature readings within a data center floor.
- Configure any number of temperature and humidity alert email destinations for both alert and clear conditions, and configure alerts to trigger automated actions via webhooks.
- Visually identify the capacity of the rack with a heat map using a red/yellow/green scheme or customize rack colors for specific applications.
- Report on historical data to identify trends and proactively manage environmental sensors.
- Get power details associated with each rack as a total summary (in watts) and viewable at the room level.
- Have the flexibility to configure the data that appears below the rack details in the rack view.
Automated Data Center Management
Automate data center management with a variety of auto-discovery tools for network, physical, or virtual infrastructures. Use powerful REST APIs to integrate with other tools and keep accurate data center documentation.
