Digital Realty Trust launched EnVision, a data center infrastructure management (DCIM) solution designed to provide operators with in-depth historical and predictive information which it is rolling out across its global portfolio.

The EnVision rollout will begin this month and take approximately 18 months to complete across Digital Realty’s global data center portfolio, which consists of 122 properties in 32 markets.
“Up until now, data has been collected, but it has not necessarily been easily accessed or arranged in an intuitive manner that is helpful to a data center operator,” said David Schirmacher, senior vice president of portfolio operations at Digital Realty. “The goal in rolling out EnVision across our global portfolio is to give our customers a common database that is structured around the specific needs of data center operators and can therefore manage the millions of data points that are found in today’s large-scale facilities.”

“EnVision links data center IT and infrastructure metrics in order to give our customers real-time, historical and predictive views into their operations,” said Michael Foust, chief executive officer at Digital Realty.
“This will benefit our customers in a variety of ways. For example, it will provide improved efficiency analysis and help operations teams to support future planning. We are excited to bring EnVision to market and feel that it represents the next critical stage in the ongoing evolution of DCIM solutions.”
