Methode’s Revolutionary Data Center Infrastructure Management SolutionsMethode’s forward-thinking approach to Data Center Infrastruc-ture Management (DCIM) is shaping the future of DCIM with simplified, turn-key solutions — hardware and software working together for maximum efficiency. WHAT MAKES IT UNIQUE? An integrated suite of solutions that provide continual data capture behind the scenes, allowing instant access to metrics that drive more informed decisions regarding the health of your existing IT assets.

Methode’s turn-key DCIM solutions allow for a more uniform method of monitoring assets across multiple vendor environ-ments. And compared to other packages, our solutions are reasonably priced and can be fully implemented in days or weeks as compared to other solutions that take six or more

months to fully integrate into a data center environment.

THE METHODE INTELLIGENT CABINETIt all starts with our “Intelligent” cabinet — we think of it as the world’s smartest rack.

Developed to aggregate and collect disparate silos of real-time data with software that analyzes and manages the information, we’ve designed the first fully-integrated “intelligent” cabinet to help Facilities and IT Managers consolidate monitoring and control functions, while making the cabinet easier and less expensive to manage.

Methode’s integrated and patented smart cabinet features a:• Single IP address to manage all cabinet functions

• RFID Tracking to detect the movement, presence or absence of equipment from within the interior of the cabinet frame

• Environmental and power monitoring, including lock and access control via automated in-cabinet detection

The result is an integrated DCIM appliance that delivers the promise of improved operational efficiency across the enter-prise, reduced expense, and superior asset protection for all your data center equipment.

METHODE’S ASSET MANAGEMENT SUITE OF SOLUTIONS INCLUDE FIVE CAPABILITIES:GSMTM — Monitoring and analytics software integrated to deliver a user-friendly solution for Asset Tracking, Inventory Management and Power Monitoring.

Methode’s DCIM suite of monitoring tools, combined with the GSM analytics and management suite, provides simple, logical and complete information for Data Center Floor planning, Integration services and Security.

Here’s how it works: a single IP address DCIM Controller serves as the collection point for environmental monitor-ing, asset tracking, electronic lock controls, cabinet touch console and Power Distribution Unit (PDU) management. Data is then delivered from the DCIM controller to GSM’s analytics software in one of three applications: GSM Rack, GSM Power and GSM Air and Space.

The result is an easy-to-install solution, allowing customers to achieve rapid ROI and immediate benefit from day one.
