Second-generation Data Center Infrastructure Management (also known as DCIM G2) refers to the class of software emerging from traditional DCIM products to dramatically simplify data center management. This next generation of DCIM addresses many of the pain points experienced with legacy DCIM tools and provides specific capabilities and features designed to help data center managers make smarter operational decisions.

While legacy DCIM tools are adequate for some of the most common daily tasks faced by today’s data center managers and operators, second-generation DCIM improves on its first-generation counterpart with enhanced versions of the monitoring and operations features available in legacy DCIM tools as well as new functionality for modern data center environments.

Sunbird is ahead of the curve when it comes to second-generation DCIM. While other DCIM software providers are charging for every module, our focus on real customer problems has enabled us to overcome the pain points of legacy DCIM tools in our elegant, modern software. We refine our features and build our roadmap based on feedback from our users, so there’s no bloatware, no additional modules to purchase—simply fast, easy, and complete DCIM software that just works.

Our DCIM solution incorporates 3D to enhance information in ways that make sense so you can get more out of your data. View cabinet elevations and see where and how devices are place and connected. Analyze power, temperature, and humidity sensor readings at a glance—information you can’t easily get when physically inside the data center. Display your visualizations in slideshow mode to create a shared understanding across organizational silos.
