In-depth reporting is a necessity for you and your data center teams. nlyte® provides a set of standard, predefined Reports using Business Objects Crystal Reports and Microsoft Reporting Services. In addition you and your team can generate new user-defined reports in a user friendly manner. You can also use other industry standard reporting tools such as Cognos, or MicroStrategy, as nlyte® integrates with other open standard packages.
The following predefined reports come as standard with nlyte®:
Capacity reports and forecasting
The data center capacity report provides insight into resource utilization factors such as heat, cooling, power and equipment space for capacity planning and optimization. The reports track changes over time for historical analysis, provides forecasts calculated against limiting thresholds, and monitors overall capacity to calculate 'fill' dates.
Chargeback reports across multiple business dimensions
The chargeback report attributes the costs of data center operation across the defined business groups within your organization. nlyte® refers to the utilization figures for power, cooling and equipment space to provide a total cost of data center service provision to each business group.
Equipment breakdown and analysis
This module creates equipment breakdown and analysis reports on the dissection of equipment types or manufacturers across individual data centers, and the enterprise organization.
Strategic reporting
The extent of the asset relationships managed by nlyte® allow reporting against KPIs for thresholds specified by management, for each location or your data center estate as a whole.
Understanding all of the capacity values and the draw on those capacities provides you with valuable insight as to how much life-span is left in a data center at any given point. It will also enable you to perform a “what-if” scenario to monitor the impact of modifying any one factor within your data center.
Management need to be able to see how much capacity is left, how much their data centers are costing them, what the impact of their datacenter is on the environment and what Green IT initiatives are in place. nlyte®’s strategic reporting capabilities can help you represent all of these factors.
