Visual Network Design Inc. (dba RACKWISE) today announced version 3.4 of RACKWISE Data Center Manager (DCM), the internationally recognized leader in data center management solutions. The newest release of RACKWISE DCM to be launched Monday, January 26^th, offers the data center industry’s most comprehensive and intelligent cost savings analysis and green reporting solution available. RACKWISE DCM 3.4 introduces the Green Report, giving data center organizations the ability to “Green” the data center as per The Green Grid’s metrics, and Cost/Savings Analysis, which quantifies the monetary value of proposed changes in a data center related to power, heat and space.

“In challenging economic times, the ability to save power and space, quantify those savings in monetary terms, and ‘Green’ the data center are critical parts of an overall data center strategy,” said Dom Lesme, VP & General Manager at RACKWISE.

The RACKWISE Green Report gives IT organizations the tool necessary to “Green” the data center, using the metrics of Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) and Data Center Efficiency (DCiE), from The Green Grid, the industry-acknowledged authority on “Greening” the data center.

The Cost/Savings Analysis provides the critical information necessary to determine the financial impact of proposed data center changes. Data center organizations can quickly identify equipment to decommission, select equipment to commission, and then build a comprehensive summary of savings. The net changes in power, heat, space and weight are displayed, along with the associated monetary value of those changes.

RACKWISE’s revolutionary new product set enables IT organizations to achieve the highest levels of efficiency in the data center, and breaks new ground with the next level of Data Center Intelligence (DCI), adding to the RACKWISE philosophy of multi-layered data center management.
