New release of Datacenter Clarity LC makes data centers even more efficient
Alarm visualization and processing in a 3D model
Collaboration with Intel supports real-time monitoring
Addition to Integrated Data Center Management Suite (IDCMS)
The new release of Datacenter Clarity LC* Version 3.0, the DCIM (Data Center Infrastructure Management) software from the Siemens Building Technologies Division, seamlessly integrates the Desigo CC building management platform, further improving the management of data center infrastructures. The critical alarms managed in Desigo CC can now be administered directly in Clarity LC via a web service. The system visualizes and processes critical alarms in a 3D model which shows the affected asset in real time. Once the appropriate solution for the alarm has been created in the 3D model, a workflow is set up that tasks the IT and facility management team with the physical implementation of possible changes in the data center. This optimizes the troubleshooting process across disciplines and departments.

"With Datacenter Clarity LC Version 3.0, we offer our customers real added value through full transparency, holistic visualization and advanced management capabilities for efficient asset management in data centers," says Philippe Heim, Portfolio Manager for Data Center Infrastructure Management at Siemens. "This allows us to create yet another perfect place."
As a result of BT's collaboration with Intel, an interface to Intel platforms is now available, allowing specific data such as temperature and energy consumption to be read from each individual server. The integration of Intel DCM (Data Center Manager) facilitates targeted analysis, planning and control of capacities in the data center by transmitting precise real-time data. This makes it possible to achieve optimized energy-efficient operation in data centers by visualizing and managing additional relevant information.
"Through this relationship, we are able to combine Siemens' strong assets in building technology with Intel's knowledge in information technology hardware to make Internet of Things a reality in the data center and provide a comprehensive Data Center Infrastructure Management solution to data center customers, "says Jeff Klaus, General Manager, Data Center Management Solutions, Intel Corporation.
Datacenter Clarity LC 3.0 is part of the Integrated Data Center Management Suite (IDCMS) from Siemens. IDCMS is a transparent and holistic infrastructure management system which uses intelligent software to assist with the control and automation of interdisciplinary processes when optimizing system and IT processes. At the same time, the Datacenter Clarity LC 3.0 update benefits the entire suite and helps it grow.
