by Brianna Crandall — April 8, 2015—FieldView Solutions, developer of innovative data center infrastructure management (DCIM) software and “Big Data” analytics for optimizing the power, thermal and operational efficiency of the data centers around the world, has announced the availability of its enhanced flagship DCIM software solution that bridges the needs of IT and facilities managers.
The new FieldView 2015 DCIM’s innovations represent a “dramatic” leap forward in improving data center resilience by capturing, correlating, and analyzing massive amounts of live data, thereby enabling “What If?” simulation of potential failures, contemplated changes, and planned maintenance downtime, says the company.

Customizable dashboards enable in-depth views into all areas of facilities and IT operations and vivid presentation of operational patterns and trends, while application program interfaces (APIs) and a data warehouse enable simple and efficient interconnection with other data center infrastructure management (DCIM) and information technology service management (ITSM) tools, orchestrators, control systems, dashboards, “Big Data” clusters, and other applications.
Unveiled at DatacenterDynamics Converged New York City, FieldView 2015 DCIM helps bridge the operational data needs of IT and facilities managers. FieldView 2015 DCIM satisfies these needs by assembling data required by both departments and simplifying usage by reducing the number of clicks required to access critical or most commonly used information. The new offering also allows users to customize individual views to match the specific needs of IT and facilities personnel.
In addition to FieldView 2015, the 17th release of FieldView Solutions’ DCIM Monitoring software, three new optional modules are being unveiled:
- PowerView: A new power chain analysis tool enabling users to simulate “What If?” scenarios such as power chain failures, scheduled maintenance downtime, and varying load tolerances, with a view of the power distribution from end to end of the entire power chain.
- LiveView: An enhanced API enabling third-party software integration for live temperature, power, and other monitored data, turning DCIM Monitoring into a platform driving control systems, dynamic/adaptive cooling, CFD modeling, orchestration, IT Service Management, integrated dashboards, and other applications.
- DataView: The FieldView platform’s enhanced data warehouse; built on industry standard specifications, it is easily integrated with other “Big Data” applications, such as third-party reporting, capacity planning, and ITSM tools.
FieldView 2015’s “single-page,” intuitive, user interface includes new dashboards, enhancements for alarms, enhanced analytics capabilities, internationalization, and mobile device-ready screens. The fully customizable dashboard allows for a single-pane, dynamic view summary of all the monitored metrics to enhance operational insight and data center optimization.
