2.19.1 Data centers

In the appliance, a data center represents a physically contiguous area in which racks containing
IT equipment—such as servers, enclosures, and devices—are located. You create a data center to
describe a portion of a computer room that provides a useful grouping to summarize your
environment and its power and thermal requirements. A data center resource is often a subset of
your entire data center and can include equipment that is not managed by the appliance. By
representing the physical layout of your data center equipment, including unmanaged devices,
you can use detailed monitoring information provided by the appliance for space planning and
determining power and cooling requirements.

In the appliance, you can:

View a 3D model of the data center layout that includes a color-coding scheme to help you
identify areas that are too hot or too cold.

View temperature history data.

More easily locate specific devices for hands-on servicing.

2.19.2 Racks

A rack is a physical structure that contains IT equipment such as enclosures, servers, power delivery
devices, and unmanaged devices in a data center. By describing the physical location, size, and
thermal limit of equipment in the racks, you enable space and power planning and power analysis
features for your data center.
