The Trellis platform will enable centralized monitoring, management, and capacity planning for data center infrastructure management.
The days of limited views into your critical domains are ending.
Tapping a
technology portfolio of unprecedented depth, Emerson Network Power has
created the Trellis platform. This industry-changing new platform,
comprised of a family of hardware, software and services, is founded on
the vision of effectively erasing the lines between once isolated
infrastructure components within the data center. With the goal of
achieving a true, single-pane, contextualized, real-time view of data
center physical infrastructure, we are building on the significant
experience and data center infrastructure management (DCIM) capabilities
already available from Emerson Network Power–from the Liebert™ cooling,
power and monitoring solutions to the server firmware, control and data
center management solutions from Avocent™ and Aperture™. We are also
committing tremendous resources to bringing the new Trellis platform of
products and solutions to market. Together, these will create an
unprecedented, dynamic infrastructure optimization platform that
embraces the interdependencies between the physical and logical layers.
The Trellis platform will enable centralized monitoring, management and
capacity planning like never seen before.
The Trellis platform is a new way of thinking. A new way of
operating. A new way of approaching successful growth and change.
Creating the first holistic DCIM platform for hardware,
software and services.
Why Now?
No one can be truly satisfied with the current state
of data center management. A 2009 Gartner study found that data centers
have, on average, 40% to 60% of unutilized, wasted server rack space and
energy use at just 70% of nameplate rating. In today’s hyper-competitive
business environment, there’s no excuse for that. Just as there’s no
longer a place for the old, inefficient, inflexible and tunnel-vision
way of running things.
THE TIME HAS COME FOR THE TRELLIS PLATFORM
It’s a radical shift in how organizations approach
their infrastructure. Change is now the driving force behind IT. Scale
up. Scale down. Virtualize. Increase density. Shift load. And, only the
organization that can be instantly flexible with utter confidence will
thrive. Now add in the increasing pressure to control operating costs at
the same time. This is the inspiration behind the Trellis platform. Its
interconnected components will provide unflinching visibility into all
parts of the infrastructure. It will end the “compartmentalized
decision-making” of siloed operations. It will close the gap between IT
and facilities, enabling holistic, real-time management for peak
optimization.
The Trellis platform
bridges the gap between IT and facilities, virtual and physical,
reactive and proactive.
