Automated Data Center Tasks

Data center automation uses software and hardware tools to create efficient workflow and processes within your data center facility. Manual tasks, typically performed by human operators, can often be automated to handle the bulk of data center management, monitoring, and maintenance tasks.

Lunavi has extensive experience designing and operating data center facilities with staff managing many of them remotely. In addition, our Microsoft experts can implement System Center and Endpoint Manager tools across your environment to facilitate automation of common Microsoft applications.

Benefits of Data Center Automation

Automating your data center operations provides IT employees with more time to concentrate on strategic projects rather than performing routine, time-consuming tasks. For the enterprise, human errors due to boredom, fatigue, or forgetfulness can be eliminated.

Monitoring & Alert-Based Automation

We can help set up monitoring and alert systems in your physical data center to automate security, power, humidity, and temperature-based rules.

Trigger facility alarms
Lock down specific rooms
Record from specific cameras and send video to specified contacts
Notify specified contacts of alert condition
Increase or decrease temperature in specific data center rooms or floors
Power up generators and transfer power from utility to generator circuit
Monitor UPS and battery conditions
Begin localized pre-action fire-suppression protocol based on detection sensors
Allow entry to specific rooms, server racks, and more based on biometric, keycard, or PIN access

Virtual Machine Management

Self-service and reusable automation offerings via Azure Automation, System Center, and Endpoint Manager help clients with on-premise enterprise data center management scenarios. Many automation offerings can be converted to PowerShell easily to be used via additional automation engines.
