dcTrack Overview

dcTrack is a powerful and intelligent data center management and automation
®
application.
It has been designed by data center and IT professionals to provide broad and
deep visibility into the data center. It empowers data center managers to plan
for growth and change by optimizing their current operations, assets, and
infrastructure.
With dcTrack, you can view everything in the data center from servers, blades,
virtual servers and applications to data networks, IP addressing space and
cabling. dcTrack also allows you to track real-time power consumption and
manage raised floor space and rack elevations.
Use dcTrack to build your floor map data center map directly in the application,
or import an existing floor map into the dcTrack. Further, dcTrack allows you to
import AutoCAD 2012 (and earlier) objects to build a data center map.
®
If you currently maintain data center information in spreadsheet format, that
data can be imported into dcTrack using the Import wizard.
Isolate potential problems with end-to-end power and data circuits by visually
tracing them. This allows you to identify all intermediate circuit points and
locate problems.
By using dcTrack's workflow and change management feature, data center
managers are better able to enforce best practices across the enterprise and
meet ITIL framework guidelines. You can also opt to skip the Change Control
workflow process and work in Request Bypass so requests are processed
immediately.
dcTrack can be used as a standalone product or integrated with Power IQ
®
power and environmental monitoring.
