In the traditional sense, RAMP DCIM manages and monitors the facilities side of the data center: power, cooling and space. A data center’s space and environment metrics are tracked and managed, and any alarms or alerts are quickly communicated to many of the management software that RAMP DCIM integrates with. As RAMP DCIM is vendor agnostic, it can communicate with almost any data center technology vendor device, and already has a deep understanding of over 10,000 devices in its database.
Conversely, RAMP DCIM connects the business side of operating a data center to the facilities side. A data center manager can for example, quickly get a report on which of the older servers are consuming most power and seek to replace them with more energy efficient ones. RAMP DCIM’s “Custom Properties” and “Logical Groups” allow the data center manager an unprecedented and completely customizable insight into both the capital and running costs of the data center. By using “Logical Groups” a data center manager can calculate the cost of networking services, storage services and the like. RAMP DCIM also enables the data center manager to quickly evaluate what if scenario’s such as maintenance on a UPS and what devices will be impacted during this maintenance period. Similarly, RAMP DCIM can present impact tables on network devices.
Benefits:
Connect the business side to the facilities side of operating a data center
Create custom “Logical Groups” to quickly calculate the cost of networking services, storage services and compute services
Quickly evaluate “what-if” scenario’s such as maintenance on a UPS and what devices will be impacted during this maintenance period.
FULLY AUTOMATED IT ASSET MANAGEMENT ELIMINATES PAINFUL MANUAL WORK.
RAMP DCIM eliminates the manual data entry of IT assets by retrieving the detailed configuration data directly from the asset itself. RAMP DCIM utilizes multiple communication protocols – including SNMP, IPMI, WMI, WBEM, iLO, DRAC, ALOM, RSA, SSH and others – to gather and correlate the data. Rather than just collecting “readily visible” data (typically name, manufacturer, model, location and serial number), RAMP DCIM collects detailed configuration information. For a server, for example, RAMP DCIM collects hardware information (processor, memory, physical and logical drives), services, network interfaces, operating system, installed software, hosts and more. You can add your own user fields, attach documents such as user manuals or purchase orders, and search and report against one asset or a group of assets.
RAMP DCIM doesn’t stop there, however. It utilizes a sophisticated analytics engine to determine the relationships between devices. It can automatically determine network and power paths and which virtual machines and services are running on which systems. When used with an intelligent cabinet, RAMP DCIM can automatically tell you where the asset is located down to the rack U level and even tell you what outlet the asset is plugged into.
Benefits:
Greatly decreases the cost of initial collection and manual recording of the asset data
Provides much more detailed configuration data for the assets
Decreases the time for initial data collection from weeks or months to mere hours
Increases data accuracy rates from as low as 85% to rates approaching 100%

Thank you for your interest in RaMP, the complete DCIM solution for your data center.
We will be contacting you shortly to coordinate setting up your RaMP demo.
While many data center managers can benefit from RaMP’s full feature set – including server discovery and monitoring, tasks and workflow, asset management, automated network end to end connectivity, and monitoring via Modbus and BACnet – others simply want to manage power in the data center. RaMP Power gives you the features you need at a price you can afford.
RaMP Power discovers and manages all SNMP power equipment including rack PDUs, PDUs, and UPSs, as well as monitoring environmental conditions. RaMP Power allows users to lay out their data center with the easy to use editor and track power and temperature by rack.
