Add Rack Elevation Views and Automated Space/Power Capacity Aggregation to Your ServiceNow CMDB
Use Tier44 EM/8 Holistic Data Center Management to visualize your CMDB and monitor your data center, facilities and IT equipment. Built on the ServiceNow platform you can view datacentre floor plans, racks, rows and maps. Collect, view and analyze virtually any metric including power consumption, temperature and utilization from IT assets, virtual servers, applications and facilities equipment, at any scale, from a single rack to a globally deployed multi-datacenter infrastructure. Create unlimited aggregations by location, application or any of your required groupings for real-time viewing, reporting and chargebacks. Navigate directly from within ServiceNow Configuration Items (assets) or drill down visually through floor plans, maps and rack elevation views using our proprietary UI builder based rendering engine. You configure it all within the ServiceNow CMDB. No synchronization with another CMDB, no second data source, no multiple places for your configuration details. It’s the ultimate Datacenter Management (DCIM) solution for anyone using ServiceNow to make your data center work flow.

Visualizing datacenter content directly from within the ServiceNow CMDB - no parallel CMDB, no integration - you benefit from a single source of truth and a single place to maintain and view your DCIM details, which is directly within ServiceNow.
Views include floors, rooms, racks and "contains", "powered by", "connected to", etc. relationships. Please see the pictures for some example screens. Unlimited visualization, no limit on the number of users, data centers, racks or CMDB entries.
Monitoring of IT and facility components inside and across data centers, including history and trendlines for auditing, capacity planning and data center management will be available shortly as an add-on module. Please contact Tier44 for details.
A free 30 day trial is available, supported by Tier44, to demonstrate the full functionality within your own environment, using your own CMDB data - you see it, you will believe it, as it gives you unprecented value from turning tables and forms into actionable intelligence.
Intelligence the integrated DCIM solution will provide with a single click:
1. Where is the room in the data center?
2. Where is the rack in the room?
3. How much space do I have available in this rack?
4. How much power do I have available in this rack?
5. How many network ports do I have available from this switch?
6. Where can I put this server?
7. How accurate is my CMDB?
With optional monitoring enabled:
8. Whats the current temperature of my data center?
9. How much power uses this rack, row, data center and application?
10. Whats my PUE?
Additional modules include Tier44 Quick Scan to audit racks and rack content in minutes. Contact Tier44 for further details and a demo.
