TrellisTM Platform Asset Management
Quick Start Offering
Solution Brief
TM
You don’t have a true grasp
of your inventory
So, you can’t:
• Right size your data center
• Plan for future expansion and growth
• Predict and manage changes in your
current environment
Which makes it difficult to budget and
allocate resources properly.
To compensate, you add inventory instead
of uncovering stranded capacity.
The result: OVER SPENDING.
You are unable to maximize physical floor
and rack space and put additional pressure
on your limited budget.
Problem
All too often knowing what you have and where it is located is a challenge. Inventory accuracy
is the foundation of your business and constitutes a solid baseline in efficiency in the data
center. You need to locate your assets quickly to save both time and money - decreasing
mean-time-to-repair (MTTR) and increasing service-level agreement (SLA) performance.
Solution
The TrellisTM asset management solution provides software and services in a complete
package. With this solution, you can maintain a central device library, including device details,
de-rated values and unique properties. You can also identify the ideal location to place your
devices, design and manage your floor layout, quickly search for your devices, and plan device
placement for future projects. With the TrellisTM asset management solution you can perform
asset audits as a part of your daily processes in real time and remediate any configuration
management database (CMDB) issues at that time.
With the TrellisTM asset management solution, you can manage your assets while in the data
center with the included iPad and licensing for two (2) mobile devices. This gives users the
flexibility to add, move, or change devices right from the data center and update your floor
plan without reentering data.
The solution is tailored to exactly meet today’s business, and is able to scale as your needs
grow. This all-in-one solution gives you the tools and services you need to get up and running
quickly so you can immediately begin realizing the cost saving benefits you are looking for in a
data center infrastructure management (DCIM) solution.
Benefit
The TrellisTM asset management solution enables you to manage the data center with a
centralized solution quickly and in a cost-effective manner, with both software and our
professional services engagement.
With the TrellisTM asset management solution, you are able to:
• Achieve quicker response time to issues that threaten business operations
• Improve uptime performance
• Improve performance by establishing key performance indicators (KPIs) for the data center
• Improve compliance
• Increase efficiency through elimination of manual data entry
