Raritan provides DCIM Solutions to Choice Hotels

Raritan has reported that its data center infrastructure management (DCIM) and rack power distribution solutions have managed to reduce light-outs at Choice Hotels. With Raritan's complete solution, Choice Hotels will get uninterrupted access and control on each and every aspect of the infrastructure without being on-site 24 x 7. Choice Hotels now have to know one IP address, with the help of which they will see every server and its functioning.

The iPDUs served as an intelligent platform for environmental monitoring. Choice Hotels also purchased Raritan's humidity/temperature sensors that plug into the iPDU sensor port.To access servers, including VMware servers, from anywhere, Choice Hotels added digital KVM switches to its new solo data center. It also implemented Raritan's Command Center SecureGateway to simplify access to equipment connected to all the KVMs.

Sanjay Motwani, Sales Director - India & SEA, Raritan, said, "For organizations running critical applications across multiple locations, Raritan's DCIM solutions provide operational mangers with all the information they need to efficiently manage their data centers remotely including secure access to every server, temperatures & humidity, energy usage, planning a specific server move, etc. DCIM helps organizations save time, costs of travel and delivers higher revenues through reduced downtimes."

The DCIM solution replaced the spreadsheets which were earlier used by Choice Hotels to track assets, and will provide new capabilities such as managing power and space capacity, as well as equipment additions, moves and change.
