Performance/ Capacity/ Monitoring Dash boards without Portal Server

[DCIM_Support]

Hi

We are new users of DCO 8.0.1 and DCE 7.4.1.

My question is can we create Performance/ Capacity/ Monitoring Dash boards somewhere for Executives and Operation team which should include PUE, Temperature, Power Trend, Cooling Trend, U-Space Trend, Surveillance Access, Alarms, Local Weather etc without installing a dedicated Portal Server?

Regards

Check the DCE & DCO web clients, you'll get some of what you ask from them.  Your organisation may already use some reporting software which can read and display the DCE and DCO data via their APIs.  You'll need to consider if you're willing to settle for displaying data how the software dictates or if you want complete control of the UI.  What technical resources do you have?  budget for engineering support?  Starting with SXW Portal is a good place as it doesn't require a paid license (but does need a VM and an OS) and is pretty easy to use the OOB features especially for DCE and DCO.

Let the forum know how you go.  Cheers

Hi Ed Tarento

Thanks for the quick and detailed response. My company is not using any other reporting software which can read and display the DCE and DCO data.

My core question was to read and display the DCO and DCE data some where within DCO or DCE without maintaining a dedicated Portal Server which according to your answer I guess is not possible. It means we have to install and maintain dedicated Portal server.

Is there any plugin/software/utility which can be installed on normal clients and they can view the DCO and DCE data etc?

My main purpose is to avoid a dedicated Portal server maintenance.

Cheers

Have a good look at the DCE and DCO web clients.  The DCO Java client also has a KPI graphics for each room and folder
