Time to bring another cause for celebration! Not that long ago, EasyDCIM marked its own ten-year milestone in the rapidly growing DCIM industry. Now, we are back with a brand-new release that pays special respect to the 20th anniversary of Ubuntu. This is all thanks to a new system template dedicated to Ubuntu 24.04 LTS brought at the heart of EasyDCIM v1.12.0. But the celebration doesn’t stop there – the update comes packed with a range of new tools and enhancements ensuring the platform stays fully current with market standards and never falls short of the expectations of even the most demanding users.
Welcoming “Noble Numbat” on board
The new system template for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS is no doubt one of the most anticipated features of EasyDCIM v1.12.0. “Noble Numbat” is particularly noble because it’s an LTS version, meaning it offers long-term support covering five years, with options to extend even further. But it’s not just about longevity.
Ubuntu 24.04 LTS brings a variety of new features, from a revamped installer to improved system security, making it a solid choice for beginners and veterans alike. The minimal default installation is perfect for those who want a streamlined setup, while support for ZFS and TPM encryption offers cutting-edge options for those looking to experiment. Moreover, with the latest GNOME 46 desktop environment and a refreshed Application Center, Ubuntu 24.04 LTS is as user-friendly as it is powerful.
The launch of OS Installation v2.0.8 extension means you can now enjoy a brand-new template designed specifically for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. From configuring your time zone and language to handling essential first-boot scripts with ease, this update ensures every installation step is streamlined and hassle-free, going above and beyond to enhance your workflows.
Expanding Redfish support
Building on the success of the previous release, which introduced Redfish protocol support for ASUS servers, EasyDCIM v1.12.0 now extends this functionality to Fujitsu iRMC S5 servers.
This means better automation and easier management, as the system can automatically detect key server details like model, label, and serial number, along with components such as processors, RAM, and network interfaces. Just like with other drivers provided by EasyDCIM via IPMI Integration, the updated extension comes ready to handle tasks like Power On, Power Off, and Reboot on Fujitsu iRMC S5 servers with just a click.
Advanced Monitoring gets even smarter
Another significant update in EasyDCIM v1.12.0 is the enhanced Advanced Monitoring extension. This tool is crucial for setting up and managing complex system monitors across your entire inventory. The latest version introduces new types of monitors for sensors and power ports, enabling more precise supervision of your data center infrastructure.
You can set thresholds for sensor readings and power usage, ensuring you get alerted if these values are breached. This proactive approach helps you manage potential risks effectively and ensures your systems remain in top shape.
Whether you are celebrating Ubuntu’s legacy with the new “Noble Numbat” installation or exploring new horizons with expanded Redfish support, EasyDCIM v1.12.0 has something new for everyone to explore and learn about. And for those who love diving into the nitty-gritty, the full changelog is your next stop for all the detailed bits!
