With a centralized database that includes all connection and capacity information, you no longer need to run back and forth to the data center.

Find the Optimal Cabinet to Deploy IT Equipment in Seconds

With Sunbird’s Intelligent Capacity Search, easily find capacity for new equipment. Simply select your location and criteria, and Sunbird’s DCIM solution finds available capacity for you.

• Search by make and model or RU height, cabinet grouping, type, or function, and data and power connectivity.
• Specify the quantity to add to each cabinet so you can reserve capacity for multiple items at a time.
• Validate results for data and power port compatibility, including quantity of ports, connector, media type, nameplate and budgeted watts, phase, and volts.
• Sort and filter results based on any of the available criteria.
• View cabinet elevations with available and contiguous RUs and RU position so you can see exactly where your devices will be placed.
• See the latest live power readings for each cabinet to help identify stranded capacity.
• Assign project numbers to each item with a single click to quickly organize your devices.
• Instantly reserve cabinet space or place items once you’ve identified the location.

Forecast Capacity with Real-Time Resource Management

Look into the future to plan adds, decommissions, and other changes that impact your data center capacity:

• View available and in-use resources based on a date for just-in-time capacity management, including assets that are planned to be decommissioned
• Plan and reserve capacity that will become available later, even if that capacity is currently used for other projects
• Use what-if analyses to determine the impact of changes to your data center before they happen and without impacting your current equipment
• Leverage real-time data to forecast remaining “days of capacity” left so you’ll know when you need to purchase more—before you run out of capacity

Understand what is drawing energy in your facility and find ways to save – while maintaining a safe environment for your IT equipment.

Save Energy. Save Costs.

As an IT or Facilities Manager how do you measure PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness)? Do you have a need to create energy cost reports for customers? Can you easily identify active power, energy, cost and environmental trends? There are many opportunities to reduce energy consumption in data centers to save on energy costs. Effective management of energy efficiency initiatives requires DCIM software to help you see trends in energy consumption. DCIM can help you understand what is drawing energy in your facility and find ways to save on energy usage – while maintaining a safe environment for your IT equipment.

Real-time PUE is now at your fingertips. It’s automatic
