AMAX Launches [SMART] DC Data Center Manager
The Premier Out-Of-Band DCIM Solution for the Modern Day High-Efficiency Data Center
Fremont, CA, August 18, 2016 (Newswire.com) - AMAX, a leading manufacturer of dynamic Data Center and Cloud Computing solutions, today announced the release of [SMART]DC Data Center Manager, the premier out-of-band DCIM solution for the modern day heterogeneous data center. [SMART]DC empowers data centers to achieve cost savings through better efficiency.
As today’s enterprises continue to adopt cloud services and process data at an unprecedented rate, the increasing demand for compute resources requires more effective means of resource management. [SMART] DC was developed to empower companies with the insight and control to achieve three major objectives— achieve significant cost savings through more efficient use of IT, data center space, and facilities resources; better and more easily monitor, manage, and operate large-scale resources within their data centers; and scale with the highest energy and operational efficiency utilizing advanced data analytics and software-defined policies.
"Working with companies running large, global data centers, we started seeing similar pain points. They needed to be able to operate and scale without the cost and complexity of their operations getting out of hand, and they needed a way to streamline management for better control," said Dr. Rene Meyer, Director of Product Development, AMAX.
