Green Field Software

Data center management isn’t rocket science, but having some rocket-science chops can’t hurt. Canadian software company Maya HTT started in the early 80s making software that ran thermal analysis on spacecraft for the Canadian Space Agency. It’s branched out widely since, but about eight years ago its management team realized a lot of the knowledge the company had could translate well to software used to manage data centers.

Data Center Metrics is a growing subject in data center operations management. Starting from the days when Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) was first defined, Green Grid subsequently expanded with multi-level PUE measurements, Carbon Usage Effectiveness (CUE), and Water Usage Effectiveness (WUE) to round-off a set of sustainability metrics for the data center.

Australian Infrastructure consulting firm has finalized a deal with an Indian data service provider for the purpose of delivering superior energy efficiency solutions to their Asia Pacific customers. Green Global Solutions, the Australia based  company said that it will be entitled to deploy ‘GFS Crane DCIM’ software during its consulting engagements with Data Centre customers. It further said, the real-time measurements and analytic reports of power and environmental conditions from ‘GFS Crane DCIM’ would enable the Green Global team to deliver accelerated and superior outcomes of energy efficiency, risk, cooling and sustainability recommendations to data centre owners and operators.

Kolkata-based software company Greenfield Software (GFS) has formed a partnership with Australia’s Green Global Solutions for the Indian and Asian Pacific markets. Green Global will market GFS Crane Data Centre Infrastructure Management (DCIM) software across Asia Pacific under the non-exclusive partnership. The GFS Crane DCIM is designed to help data centres control capital costs, reduce operating expenses, and mitigate the risks of failures. GFS is a major breakthrough for Green Global in India where the Australian company is seeking joint ventures to offer its green infrastructure, mission critical facilities, and digital transformation projects.

GreenField Software, an Indian DCIM Software vendor, today announced next of version of its Data Centre Infrastructure Management software, GFS Crane at the Data Centre Dynamics CONVERGED, a two-day Conference for Data Centre professionals being held at Marina Bay, Singapore. GreenField Software’s DCIM Software, GFS Crane V 2.6 adds colocation features enabling colocation facility providers to better service their customers and offer DCIM facilities to their customers.

Announced by Green Global Solutions at the Datacenter Dynamics Converged South East Asia on 15 September 2015. Published in India’s # 1 business daily, Economic Times. Collaboration strengthens Green Global’s commitment to deliver innovative bespoke outcomes in the Data Centre space. Green Global troubleshoots and offers holistic solutions to greenfield and brownfield data centres as well as IT Infrastructure which integrate all three areas of commercial and environmental sustainability and people.

Most of us are familiar with the quote that “if you cannot measure you cannot manage”. In all fields, spanning technology and management, a set of metrics are established to measure against stated objectives. The metrics should tell the stakeholders about how the system is performing. The metrics on a business can be from several different perspectives:  financial, customer satisfaction, environmental impact etc.

Data center capacity planning is an ongoing initiative to balance an IT organization's computing resources, power load, footprint and cooling capacity with the workload demands of its users and customers. our DCIM software prevents scattering and fragmentation. This enables optimal capacity planning in the data center for future as well. GFS Crane DCIM software does a base-lining of the existing key resources – power,cooling and space - in the data center.

While DCIM in its early days was largely seen as a bridge between Facilities and the IT Infrastructure Groups, it is now being recognized as an analytic tool for data center operations. Maturity in DCIM technology has meant that huge amounts of data from different devices are captured on a real time basis. Data Center Managers rightly expect that DCIM must now be more than just a monitoring tool and deliver meaningful insights from the data lake of power and environment monitoring, server utilization and threshold breaches.

Our DCIM software can help data centers meet critical SLA terms and ensure customer satisfaction by generating energy bills or charge-backs for individual SBUs based on power consumed. For Service Providers, this also prevents revenue leakage. Our DCIM software, GFS Crane, can allocate power and cost proportionately for each business unit served by a captive data center or for each customer in a Multi-Tenant data center, in the form of Energy Bills or Charge-back Reports Moreover, the DCIM software can report power consumption and cost for individual physical and virtual servers that host the applications owned by different business units.

Our DCIM software helps data centers meet governance and compliance standards by generating a sustainability report which includes a report on carbon emissions and upcoming e-waste through aging analysis of equipment. The data center sustainability report , from our DCIM software, calculates GHG emission for a data center till the device level, based on actual power use, and recommends ways to make the data center ‘Greener’.
