Convergence of Traditional & New: The Unique Optionality of Mass (Mar/2013…Dan Ramsden
The growing consensus is that the traditional media are losing value to newer media. We disagree with this view on two counts: (1) The distinction between the two groups is increasingly vague; (2) the more important difference is between advertising-based & transactional media. With this backdrop, we think there is great value in the large & engaged audience that the traditional media have amassed & we believe this value will start to be recognized as all media sectors evolve.

2. MEETING TODAY’S DATA CENTER MANAGEMENT CHALLENGE
Data centers are becoming far more complex and difficult to manage, and yet many data
center managers are attempting to manage these dynamic and complex environments with
little more than a spreadsheet and a few CAD drawings. Managing today’s IT infrastructure
has its challenges:
• Utilization, despite technology advances, is still very low
• Increasing demand for IT to meet changing business needs
• Power and cooling accounts for 40% of the total data center budget
• Over 50% of existing data centers will be out of space within 3 years
All this leads to decreased data center efficiency and spiraling costs. The answers to these
challenges require more than knowledge; they require true “enlightenment”.
nlyte Software is the leading provider of Data Center Performance Management (DCPM)
solutions. We help companies control their data centers more efficiently by providing the
information needed to make informed decisions for the planning and effective management
of data center assets and physical infrastructure. We provide a complete solution for
data center performance management, combining next generation software, proven best
practices, and unsurpassed expertise in data center management.
THE ONLY COMPLETE DATA CENTER MANAGEMENT SOLUTION
nlyte Software provides a complete solution for data centers that delivers the insight and
best practices needed to visualize, control and predict data center capacities including space,
power, cooling and network connections. The nlyte Software solution allows companies to:
• Intelligently manage their power consumption

“We were impressed with our ability to create our own items
without professional services and to manage our
infrastructure independent of full time vendor support.”
Ron Pepin – National City Bank
3. FOUNDED BY DATA CENTER PROFESSIONALS
nlyte Software was founded by data center professionals for data center professionals. The
nlyte Data Center Performance Management suite provides a comprehensive view of all data
center assets, supports automation for Move, Add and Change (MAC) management, maps
and maintains the relationships between assets, asset owners, and support personnel, and
monitors in real-time, key environmental metrics and data center power consumption.
DATA CENTER PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT
Specifically, Data Center Performance Management (DCPM) is the ability to gain insight and
drive performance throughout the data center including data center assets and physical
infrastructure. The nlyte DCPM solution enables organizations to translate strategies into
plans, monitor execution, and provide the insight needed to improve financial and operational
performance.
The nlyte DCPM suite creates a complete data center management environment for improved
business agility – from the point you set your goals through the discovery of what you have,
visualizing where your assets are, modeling and controlling changes, reporting on the results
and finally predicting your future — the nlyte DCPM solution gives you the insights and tools
you need to connect these processes, keep a steady pulse on your data center, optimize
resources and improve business performance.
We designed nlyte from the ground-up to address real-world data center problems and we
enable data center managers to continuously improve the performance of their facilities by
using nlyte to envoke a series of processes we call the DCPM Process Cycle.
The nlyte DCPM Process Cycle uses six steps (Discover, Visualize, Model, Control, Report,
Predict) to help data center personnel get control of their data centers and make informed
decisions for the planning and effective management of their data center assets and physical
infrastructure.

The six nlyte DCPM Process Cycle steps are described below:
1. Discover
You can’t manage what you can’t find. nlyte provides the ability to automatically search
for IT assets, collect important data to speed implementation and keep your records up to
date.
2. Visualize
Once your assets are accounted for, nlyte maps the logical data collected during the discovery
process and creates a visual model of your entire data center estate.
3. Model
To effectively manage your assets, nlyte provides the ability to manipulate your virtual
model of the data center, creating sophisticated “what if” scenarios to plan those Move, Add
and Change (MAC) initiatives, before committing your team to implement the changes.
4. Control
After you have modeled your virtual changes, it’s time to get them implemented. nlyte
provides a robust, data center-centric workflow process to insure that your people are
working together and using best practices to manage your data center estate.
5. Report
Your changes have been implemented, now it’s time to measure the results. nlyte supports
the real-time collection of data specific to power and environmental metrics and provides
the business intelligence tools to deliver this information to management for review.
6. Predict
When it comes to data center capacity, predicting the future can be the difference between
“open for business” or “out of business.” nlyte uses the historical data stored in the DCPM
database to track trends and forecast future requirements for space, cooling and power.
5. THE NLYTE SOLUTION
The nlyte suite provides a complete solution for Data Center Performance Management
(DCPM) that can automatically Discover IT assets, Visualize the physical and virtual
infrastructure, Model the Move, Add, Change (MAC) initiatives, Control data center processes
and personnel, Report on progress using an integrated business intelligence engine, and
Predict capacity resources well into the future.
The nlyte DCPM solution solves the issues faced by today’s organizations, such as optimizing
under-utilized IT equipment, working faster and smarter with less resources, and balancing
and optimizing critical data center capacity resources including power, cooling and space.

6. GREEN IT AND NLYTE SOFTWARE
The cost of operating a data center is directly related to the cost of power. New equipment is
continuing to offer improvements in performance and space, but these assets are requiring
more and more operational and cooling power to operate. This reality, combined with the
growing cost of power and the effects on global climate are challenging enterprises to operate
with higher efficiency and greater conservation.
Before a company begins the process of getting “greener”, it is paramount that current power
consumption rates are measured to accurately establish a benchmark for efficiency. Metrics
like Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) and Data Center Infrastructure Efficiency (DCiE) are
often used to measure the efficiency of the data center’s power usage. A better approach to
this “change and hope” strategy for improving power efficiency utilizes extensive modeling
to assess the impact of these changes on power consumption, cooling and space before the
change is made, not after the fact.
The nlyte solution can be used to benchmark current power consumption through real-time
feeds and equipment ratings and then model the effects of “green” initiatives on the data
center’s PUE and DCiE before actually committing resources to support the implementation.
Using PUE to measure the effectiveness of data center power usage in terms of the computing
power it contains, allows you to see how optimizing space, power and cooling can save
money while reducing your carbon footprint. Using nlyte further extends these savings by
modeling these changes virtually to measure their effect on PUE.
The nlyte solution offers relief for government legislation too. In order to help companies,
nlyte Software provides a carbon footprint report for data centers to help reduce carbon
emissions and avoid government penalties.
The nlyte solution also offers support for Green IT programs like: Climate Savers, Energy
Star and Carbon Trust.
Climate Savers - We are an affiliated member of the Climate Savers Computing Initiative, a
non-profit organization dedicated to reducing computer power consumption. We are working
to increase awareness and use of computer power management and to help our customers
reach their data center energy efficiency goals.
Energy Star Partner - We are an Energy Star partner working to improve energy efficiency
by continuing to introduce new features and functions into nlyte to help data centers reach
their goals for reducing energy consumption.
Carbon Trust - We have registered to become a Carbon Trust partner whose mission is
to accelerate the move to a low carbon economy, by working with organizations like nlyte
Software to reduce carbon emissions and develop commercial low carbon technologies for
the future.
7. BEYOND IT SERVICE MANAGEMENT
The IT Service Management (ITSM) discipline has helped many companies focus on
improving their IT service support best practice processes, but tend to neglect implementing
these processes within the physical domain of the data center.
The nlyte DCPM Process Cycle broadens the ITSM discipline to the data center by enabling
companies to integrate a set of processes to manage the data center including the overall
physical infrastructure. This approach allows companies to reach a higher level of data
center process maturity and deliver IT services aligned with business objectives.
