Uptime Institute and 451 Research surveys consistently rank cost, complexity, and unfamiliarity with the software as the chief reasons that data center operators hesitate to deploy data center infrastructure management (DCIM) solutions. Put simply, no one wants to make an expensive mistake.

In this session, 451 Research's Kevin Heslin will moderate a panel of end users who have implemented DCIM solutions and are benefitting from increased reliability in their facilities and IT savings as a result. This group will share the "lessons learned" key to successful implementations and also their knowledge of the pitfalls to avoid.
