CA Innovation Helps Provide Power Improvements
in One of the Most Demanding IT Environments in the World
CA Technologies (NASDAQ:CA) announced today that Facebook, Inc.
(NASDAQ:FB) is using CA DCIM (CA Data Center Infrastructure
Management) software to bring together millions of energy-related
data points from physical and IT resources in its global data
centers to improve power efficiency.
Facebook conducted an intensive DCIM vendor review process. CA
was one of a dozen considered and completed a proof-of-concept,
followed by a more extensive pilot in a 100,000-square-foot data
center. Upon completion of the pilot, Facebook worked with CA to
create a custom solution to deliver on the energy-related DCIM
requirements today and in the future, in terms of technology
innovation and CA’s ability to execute with speed and scalability,
as well as working together to adjust and fine-tune associated
business objectives.
“We are on a mission to help connect the world, and our IT
infrastructure is core to our success,” said Tom Furlong, VP,
Infrastructure Data Centers, Facebook. “We are continually looking
at ways to optimize our data centers and bringing all of our
energy-related information together in one spot was a core
requirement.”
Facebook presented initial results of the Facebook and CA DCIM
implementation at the Open Compute Project Summit 2014.
“Every single day, 728 million people actively use Facebook and
expectations around quality of service, availability and
reliability are extremely high,” said Terrence Clark, senior vice
president, Infrastructure Management, CA Technologies. “This places
significant demands on the IT infrastructure with little room for
error or costly inefficiencies. As a result, it is a top priority
for Facebook’s IT and facilities teams to know as much as they can
about how their infrastructure is performing from a power and
cooling standpoint, where potential problems might lie with
energy-related systems and where there are opportunities for
associated cost savings.
“Facebook’s IT team can now bring this energy-related data into
their broader DCIM system for an even more complete view of overall
system status. They can then analyze all of the data in aggregate
to make decisions to improve efficiency and reduce costs, while
delivering a seamless customer experience and creating new
opportunities for innovation.”
CA DCIM provides a web-based centralized solution for monitoring
power, cooling and environmentals across facilities and IT systems
in the data center as well as managing the use of space and
lifecycle of assets which make up the data center infrastructure.
