Data Center Geeks Hub

At the core, EasyDCIM is about one thing: making data center management less confusing, because we all know that complexity is the enemy of progress. As technology races ahead, so do our ways to accomplish that goal. The latest EasyDCIM v1.13.0 release throws a few more tools into the mix, including the MikroTik driver and new data segments on assets, to keep your daily business operations both simple and well-regulated. VLAN Management for MikroTik Devices If you are working with MikroTik devices running RouterOS, your workload is about to get a whole lot lighter. Guided by user insights, we have upgraded our Switch Management extension with a new driver that makes this process easier to handle inside EasyDCIM. No more jumping between systems or command lines to make changes - everything is now accessible from one place. Here’s what you can do: Set up a new VLAN or clear up old configurations. Assign VLANs to specific network ports, making it easy to segment, visualize, and control traffic across your network. Shut down network ports or brought them back online. Adjust port speeds based on network needs to fine-tune performance on an ongoing and dynamic basis. Why does this matter? As networks grow in size and complexity, having a clear overview of your VLAN structure is crucial for optimizing traffic and security levels. Now, you can quickly identify which VLANs are assigned where, helping you avoid any misconfigurations that could lead to performance issues or downtime. Ports & Sensors: Smarter Network Hardware Management When you're managing multiple devices, especially in larger setups, finding a specific port or sensor can sometimes feel like looking for a needle in a haystack. To address this, we’ve introduced two new sections in the Assets menu: Sensors and Ports. Instead of navigating through each device's summary, these new sections present a clear, searchable list of all ports and sensors in your network. How to make the most of this update? Instantly filter and search for specific ports or sensors - no more guessing which device a port is tied to! View monthly traffic graphs to track network usage and identify any potential bottlenecks or irregularities. See at a glance summaries of how many ports are currently active or inactive, helping with quick diagnostics. Perform key actions - be it enabling, disabling, editing, or deleting - on any port. Why is this important? In large-scale environments, managing hundreds or even thousands of ports and sensors can become overwhelming. By bringing these elements together in one interface, you no longer have to dig through multiple layers of menus just to find what you need. Instead, the information is centralized, with filtering tools that help you zero in on the specific hardware you’re looking for. This is particularly useful when troubleshooting or planning future upgrades. Stay Notified with Telegram Stream Integration Being notified of critical events as soon as they happen is crucial in any network environment, but constantly logging into the platform to check for updates can be inefficient. That’s where our new Telegram stream feature comes in. By integrating EasyDCIM with Telegram, you can receive real-time notifications directly on your phone or desktop, making it easier to stay on top of important events without being tied to your dashboard. Whether it's system alerts, monitoring results, or network issues, you'll get updates pushed straight to your Telegram channel. Why Telegram? Telegram is not only widely used but also known for its speed and security. Its lightweight nature makes it ideal for receiving fast alerts, which is why we chose to pair it with EasyDCIM. As one of the fastest-growing communication platforms, it’s well-suited for administrators looking for efficient and reliable communication tools. Keep exploring! The updates you see here, plus more in EasyDCIM v1.13.0, are all built around one central goal: making your job easier. Whether you're assigning VLANs to MikroTik devices, keeping a close eye on ports and sensors, or staying effortlessly connected through Telegram notifications, these new features bring clarity and control to your data center like never before. It’s all about cutting down the routine so you can focus on the bigger, more strategic goals. Are you in? View the Changelog!

At EasyDCIM, we understand that going with the flow of the most up-to-date technologies is pivotal to put your data center at the forefront of the dedicated server market. As we are determined to achieve this goal, we keep pushing boundaries. Today we are glad to announce that you can confidently take another step on your path, as the new 1.11.0 version of EasyDCIM has just been rolled out. Let’s have a look at what’s in store now. Welcoming Debian 12 Staying true to our word, we decided the time has come to bid farewell to Debian 11, and embrace full support for its powerful successor - Debian 12 “bookworm” which from now on will stand as the sole supported system for installing EasyDCIM and remote agents. Since the launch of Debian 12 brought a comprehensive suite of new packages (over 11089 to be precise, contributing to a total of over 64419 packages!), updated software, and advancements for users across various fields, there’s no way EasyDCIM’s compatibility with the latest version of this prominent Linux family member can go unnoticed. Among the benefits you can expect of this powerful integration, here come the most noteworthy ones: Seamless installation and updates of EasyDCIM and remote agents thanks to the implementation of a new installer and updater Improved smoothness and security of essential computer operations due to upgrading the majority of the system’s libraries to the most recent version Enhanced performance of the platform and even better protection from digital threats resulting from a series of vital improvements Swift transition from Debian 11 ensured by EasyDCIM's automatic upgrade feature Given all that, the question whether we could lay any better and more solid foundation for our platform remains purely rhetorical. Let’s proceed then. New layers of Redfish support On the occasion of the release of version 1.9.9, we boasted about our IPMI integration extension tying the compatibility knot between EasyDCIM and the Redfish protocol in order to streamline the management of servers from widely-recognized manufacturers such as Dell or Supermicro. Our today’s launch breathes a fresh scent of novelty into this sector by introducing a new driver tailored explicitly for ASUS servers. This feature opens the door to automatic identification of essential server information as well as gathering detailed data on the server hardware components, including processors, RAM, hard disk drives and solid-state drives, and network interfaces. The Redfish protocol now also proves useful when it comes to careful monitoring of the server performance - thanks to automatic detection of sensors in ASUS, Dell and HP servers, and integrating their parameters into EasyDCIM, you can constantly keep a watchful eye on your infrastructure and promptly address any malfunctions. Where do we go from here? More in the field of proactive maintenance is expected in future updates of EasyDCIM, as we are currently working on enabling administrators to set custom limits for sensors and to receive email notifications whenever any of these limits are exceeded. Expanding on the topic of administrative tasks and their smooth flow, let's not forget that the Redfish protocol allows remote device restarts and boot/shutdown actions. Keeping track of power consumption How about being able to define limits on the amount of power that servers can consume? Thanks to the new function added to our Usage Collector extension, you can establish thresholds for power usage for servers that support the Redfish protocol. What’s more, you can now receive email alerts if a server exceeds the predefined setting so that proper preventative action can be taken. Previously, this option was only available for PDU devices via the SNMP protocol. Wrapping up now, we are excited for you to get a glimpse of the big picture regarding our recent accomplishments. The best way to do that? Simply head over to our website. Feel free to do it right away - the changelog of EasyDCIM v1.11.0 is all set, and ready for your visit! View the Changelog!

With the turn of the season comes another major progress for EasyDCIM, marked by taking a fresh step toward the ultimate simplicity in data center management. Curious about how far we have come this time? Look no further than the just launched EasyDCIM v1.10.0! There wouldn’t be much development going on in our realm if we weren’t aware that every single tech tool needs to regularly absorb new functionalities that go hand in hand with growing expectations of the users. With this simple truth in our mind, we’ve been, again, tinkering with the platform’s architecture to reach higher automation and security levels, and by doing so make sure that every single aspect of your data center ecosystem is taken care of properly. Let’s take a quick tour around the new additions then, shall we? Add devices in a flash We always aim at facilitating and simplifying data center routines, which is why we have implemented a new form that streamlines the way of adding devices to your system. Our goal was to automate all key actions behind the scenes, minimizing the need for manual intervention on the administrator’s part and significantly speeding up the entire process. Here’s the list of crucial tasks that thanks to the new feature can now run automatically in the background: Placing the device in a specific location within a rack cabinet in your facility Providing essential network information for the newly added device: IP address, MAC address, default gateway and mask Integrating the device with the switch port and the PDU power outlet Setting up the IPMI access information Testing the connection to the switch, PDU, and IPMI interface Keep SSH keys close at hand As the times are turbulent when it comes to digital safety, we don’t hesitate to go the extra mile in our attempts to make our platform rock-solidly secure, which we did this time by updating our OS Installation extension. We’ve attended to this matter by moving away from end-user passwords and adding support for SSH keys right at the installation stage. This solution allows administrators and clients to add their SSH keys to EasyDCIM, then select the desired key during the installation of an operating system, and use it afterwards in order to log in to the dedicated SSH server without entering a password. One more noteworthy piece of news is that this feature is available for nearly all of our supported Linux-based operating systems. Fedora Server 39 on board When talking about reaching new mileposts in the development of OS Installation extension, we can’t fail to mention that the list of available system templates has been expanded so that now it also covers Fedora Server 39. Here’s a quick breakdown of actions that can be performed during the automatic process of installing this operating system: Selecting the appropriate geographical region, time zone and the preferred language for the user interface and system messages Disk partitioning Creating user accounts along with the root password Configuring network interfaces Installing additional system packages Installing post-installation as well as first boot scripts By the force of habit developed out of the need to maximize our platform’s potential, we haven’t restricted our efforts to just putting up a display of new features. What follows right behind is a host of improvements, including those introduced to IPMI Integration and Usage Collector extensions. They contribute to a more streamlined and user-friendly experience for system administrators and users alike, and enhance both productivity and management capabilities. The EasyDCIM journey continues, with no end within sight. Why not follow our tracks more closely? Take a look at the changelog and discover all the details behind the release of version 1.10.0!

It was just a blink of an eye ago that our marketplace welcomed a major update - the platform has officially opened up to the integration with HostBill, courtesy of two brand-new (and free!) extensions: Dedicated Servers For HostBill and Colocation For HostBill. Now, fully aware that the dust has barely settled, we are announcing that another anticipated step on our developmental path has been taken. Let us shed some light on the freshly unveiled EasyDCIM v1.9.9! Redfish ProtocolFacilitating server detection Our major focus is always on freeing server management from chaos and complexity – one functional aspect at a time. And that’s exactly what has driven this fresh change, resulting in new features that will empower you with greater control over your elaborate infrastructure. Determined to respond to changing industry dynamics and community needs, we made our IPMI integration extension compatible with the Redfish protocol that stands out as a cutting-edge technology employed by the most prominent dedicated server manufacturers like Dell, Supermicro, and HP. R.I.P IPMI - Long Live Redfish? Increasingly recognized as a modern and more secure alternative to IPMI, Redfish stands ready to eventually replace it, emerging as the fresh industry standard for data center management. Does Redfish actually have a shot at it? It seems highly likely, given Intel's confirmation that there are no upcoming updates to the IPMI specification to be expected. The implementation of this solution revolutionizes the whole auto-discovery process, previously anchored solely in the SNMP protocol and its support for network devices. It creates space not just for the automatic detection of dedicated servers, but also facilitates convenient access to detailed information about various server components, including: Processors - with data on: the model, name, and cores. RAM memory - with data on: the model, label, serial number, and memory size expressed in gigabytes. Hard disk drives (HDD) and solid-state drives (SSD) - with data on: the model, manufacturer, serial number, description, and disk size expressed in gigabytes. Network interfaces - with data on: the description, MAC address, name, and operational and administrative status of the port. The whole operation smoothly fits into the pattern of simple and convenient navigation. You just need to enter essential access information - IP address, username, and password; the rest is up to EasyDCIM that automatically identifies the server and adds it to the system with all its components. It is even possible to successfully discover entire subnets – in that case, the subnet has to be provided in CIDR notation, which prompts EasyDCIM to create discovery tasks for all IP addresses in that particular subnet. More than just discovering devices, Redfish integration has broadened EasyDCIM's feature set with remote restart and boot/shutdown actions. Duo SecurityPutting you at ease In the era of an increased number of cybercrime instances and threats, it’s not surprising that the issue of security remains one of the major concerns reported by our clients. Taking a proactive stance, we decided to enrich the Two-Factor Authentication extension with seamless integration with Cisco Duo Security. This two-factor authentication solution based on the new Universal Prompt has been quickly gaining popularity in the market for its robust safety features. When it comes to smartphones, you can download the Duo Mobile app that utilizes the two-step verification function to further enhance login security in EasyDCIM. A bonus touch of simplicity Last but not least, we channeled our efforts into the revamping of how EasyDCIM manages noVNC sessions, i.e. it facilitates the server's KVM console connections by means of the noVNC technology. Now the noVNC session relies on the main SSL certificate of the EasyDCIM domain. This enhancement worked into the IPMI integration extension considerably simplifies configuration, eliminating the need for additional certificates dedicated solely to noVNC sessions. We know exactly how to set the ball rolling, don't we? And we make it roll directly toward the forefront of technology, correcting the course every single time we spot an area for improvement. Now, assuming we have successfully whetted your appetite for more specifics concerning the 1.9.9 release, we highly recommend reviewing the detailed changelog available on our website.

They developed a protocol with fewer lines of code, making it a perfect fit for individuals using regular desktop computers. The LDAP Authentication extension, in essence, connects EasyDCIM with the widely used LDAP directory services like Microsoft Active Directory for Windows and OpenLDAP for Linux. Its practical purpose? To make user and administrator authentication in EasyDCIM quick and trouble-free through the use of the trusted LDAP credentials. By handling synchronization jobs and choosing how often they occur, you’re always in control, making sure everything syncs up just the way you like it for your team. Plus, in case of any updates in the LDAP directory, the extension will take care of syncing them up with EasyDCIM automatically. It's that simple!
