Calculating ROI of DCIM Monitoring for Distributed IT Sites

Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) software is widely used to improve resiliency, security, and staff efficiency.

As IT deployments become more distributed, driven by edge computing, AI inference, and digital transformation initiatives, the need to remotely monitor critical power and cooling infrastructure becomes increasingly urgent. At the same time, higher rack densities with tighter operating tolerances, combined with ongoing staffing constraints, raise the risk and cost of downtime across sites.

While the value of DCIM is, perhaps, obvious to IT Operations teams tasked with maintaining availability of sprawling IT portfolios, calculating an ROI can be difficult to do credibly. In this paper, we provide a framework and introduce a tool for quantifying this value to help justify investment in DCIM monitoring and alarming functions.
