Nlyte Software, launched the latest release of its Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) software Nlyte 7 Wednesday. The solution seamlessly integrates with a customer's entire IT management fabric, the vendor said.

“Our seventh generation suite continues to define the modern DCIM suite, and takes the next step to align IT with business interests,” Doug Sabella, CEO of Nlyte, said. “Each data center has a unique DNA, and by recognizing that, we have evolved Nlyte 7 to a level that extends the business process into the IT fabric.”

In version 7, Nlyte has also added extensive real-time monitoring of power and virtualized resources as well as centralized management of all data center assets.

Rhonda Ascierto, analyst at 451 Research, said operational value of DCIM was well understood. “Companies are now seeking greater financial insight and management of their data centers—to address capacity limitations and to make IT service decisions,” she said.

“Nlyte Software is helping not just data center operators but also C-level and other executives better understand their large-scale data center environments.”

Rob Neave, Nlyte co-founder and CTO, said the management platform leveraged the company's patented intelligent asset-placement technology, state-of the-art data storage and retrieval techniques and business analytics.

The data repository provides contextual relationships between all enterprise data center attributes. These interrelationships, and related workflow and analytics capabilities, support SLAs, technology refresh projects, data center consolidations and migrations, allowing for advanced capacity planning and facilitating “what-if” scenario planning.

The suite also offers contextual visualization that encompasses physical, logical and virtual infrastructure views. The Nlyte 7 DCIM platform offers the industry’s only business intelligence engine, providing enhanced real-time reporting and dashboard information, automated asset discovery and reconciliation on your network and direct support for Intel’s new DCM real-time energy metric technology.
