"Information is power," but of course, only if you use itlo si la usas.
A Data Center shouldn't be like the typical grand piano in movies, parked and idle in the living room just because it looks impressive.
A good management model (or DCiM) seeks to align itself with the company's objectives and enhance its competitiveness.
In simple terms, with a well-defined and integrated DCiM project, the destiny of your Data Center will be much more beneficial than simply being a storage place for information, kept just for the sake of having it, which, let's be honest, you see as a black hole of expenses.
The DCiM system facilitates the management of all infrastructure resources and helps reduce energy and operational costs. How?
Unifies and provides easy access to sources of information.
Offers real-time information on capacity, space, energy, climate control, network.
Streamlines operational process organization.
Understands the current state of the ecosystem.
Initial data collection to comprehend the state of the art
Unified information under a system: We integrate and identify all elements and their interdependencies involved in service delivery.
Check the current and future state of your capacity: space, climate, energy, and communication network.
Identify your weaknesses: Proactively manage with 'what if' scenarios.
Maximize available resources: Use your Data Center intelligently and increase efficiency in commissioning.
Identify the point of failure in record time, thanks to system interdependencies.
Automated and guided change management: Coordinate all changes or maintenance in your infrastructure with internal and external teams, automatically updating your information source.
Audits or certifications: Provide the evidence you need in a couple of clicks.
Optimization through the information provided by the system: Put the data your DCIM provides to work.
Many times the concepts of BMS and DCIM are confused, and even systems that claim to be DCIM! That's why this comparison!!

Industry - DC Enterprise
A DCIM tool ensures the competitiveness of your business. It optimizes and unifies all the information collected by your technology (sensors and devices from different manufacturers and environments).
Data Center Colocation
Resource optimization allows an increase in customers per rack, cage, or room. Operating with a DCIM provides greater flexibility in contracting, offering more customized solutions to customers. It builds trust in service outsourcing.
We will help you define various contract models according to your clients' needs.
Telecommunication Operators
Telco All stakeholders in this sector emphasize the need to converge all areas of operation into a single tool: Central DCs, Local DCs, Edge, and BTS. There's also a need to improve traceability, control energy and O&M costs, and gain control over all assets. DCIM frees up a significant part of their day and provides insight into the lifespan of their infrastructure.
Edge Computing
Major sectors like Banking and Retail require extensive Edge management capabilities to enhance customer service.
Monitoring all sites as a single unit results in significant cost savings in the daily management of infrastructure integrity.
If we offer you useful technology, it's because there are people behind it who thought of it that way, and there are others who ensure it adapts to you.
With over 10 years of experience, at Bjumper, we have a clear understanding: the most important thing is to guarantee the project and stand by your side.
In this application, we also provide:
Identification of present and future infrastructure needs.
Definition of necessary integrations to make the DCIM your management core.
Assistance in obtaining the necessary investment.
Proposal and implementation of the most suitable DCiM.
Support for continuous improvement after implementation.
Can I incorporate functionalities according to my needs?
Yes, we can do it in a modular and phased manner.
We will start with an initial configuration and then add modules and configurations in the DCiM as needed.
We will design a customized roadmap for your project.
I have various tools: BMS, asset managers, ITSM, etc. Is it possible to integrate all these tools into a DCiM?
While it is possible to integrate all these tools into a DCiM, it is essential that before proceeding, we take a moment to assess the real usefulness and added value that each integration could bring.
From our extensive experience in numerous projects, we have learned the importance of carefully assessing these aspects before moving forward. Based on this knowledge, we have designed various standard integration products that not only facilitate the process but are also designed to evolve over time through their versions.
I'm not ready to implement a DCiM. What should I do first?
Breathe easy.
We understand that each company has its own level of maturity in infrastructure management.
Before taking any steps, we will conduct a thorough analysis of the available sources of information to tailor our approach to the specific needs and requirements of your organization.
This process will allow us to identify the key milestones we need to achieve and plan them in a personalized Road Map.
Let us take care of the entire process. We are here to help you.
Which DCiM software is better?
The DCiM market has undergone consolidation since its inception over 15 years ago, and currently, most DCiM offerings provide virtually the same functionalities.
However, our clients have taught us over the years that the real value and importance lie in the journey taken during an infrastructure management transformation project, rather than in the specific choice of DCiM.
Our main goal is to smooth your path and free you from worries by applying our products based on best practices and the most disruptive technology.
At the end of the day, our goal is to ensure that critical infrastructures cease to be so.
At Bjumper, we understand infrastructure management in a unified way. Therefore, integrations with existing systems are critical.
Thanks to our years of experience in optimizing DCIM, we can proudly say that we have developed integrations with systems like:
