Data Center Geeks Hub

Running your own data center is a challenging task but taking absolute control over it is a truly hard one. Thankfully, the new EasyDCIM is here to make your life much easier! Our fully featured control panel needs no introduction, but a brief mention about the latest functionalities introduced in version 1.3.1 will surely intrigue you. EasyDCIM now supports device bays that represent the capability of a parent device to store the child devices. For instance, 4 bays can be created and assigned to a single blade server of the height of 2U. Bays can be sorted freely according to requirements. The next novelty is support for non-racked devices of the height of 0U assigned to the rack. We have also facilitated the management of racks as well as enabled your customers to view all the IP addresses and subnets assigned to their devices directly in the client area. Of course, new EasyDCIM v1.3.1 has much more to offer in terms of new features and interesting changes. One of these changes is represented by refreshed IP Address Management For EasyDCIM 1.5.0 with a new gamut of possibilities. The updated module will allow you to assign multiple devices and VLANs to IP subnets, split IP subnets upon choosing a relevant mask and access detailed summary. A must-have tool, no doubts! To cap off our post, we would like to present you the latest screenshots of new functionalities that you will not find anywhere else, and invite you to visit our changelog to learn more about EasyDCIM v1.3.1!

PHP 7 was officially released nearly one and a half years ago. Nowadays, its ubiquity in the whole IT industry does not surprise anyone. However, introducing a fresh technology to your product is one thing, but to do it right and exploit its full potential is quite another. In EasyDCIM we are definitely on the other side! Our goal was to squeeze maximum performance out of our system - and we succeeded. In our previous Blog article about performance comparison between v1.2.3 & v1.3.0 we prepared for you a detailed tally with hard facts on various loading times' differences. This time we would like to show you a more vivid proof that the new EasyDCIM v1.3.0 on PHP 7 works even two times faster than its previous version on PHP 5. The short animation below presents the time required to find a desired server among the hundreds of devices on EasyDCIM v1.2.3 (PHP5) and EasyDCIM v1.3.0 (PHP7). Our tests have been carried out on an identical machine with the identical number of devices. Quite a difference, isn't it? On thousands of devices it would have been even greater!

We are happy to announce another milestone in our system for automated data center management. In this very release we would like to redefine the word automated as we are introducing a brand new, completely automated server provisioning flow. Our goal is to streamline the entire process from the moment of order to delivery of fully operational product to your customers. How have we achieved that? We released EasyDCIM v1.2.0 Beta! The latest version of our control panel has been enriched with OS Installation module which was the kind of a missing element in the whole provisioning puzzle. Technically, the module is based on NOC-PS submodule and in brief, will install automatically or manually required operating systems on servers you control or deliver to your clients. This process fills the automation gap from A to Z: Ordering → Matching Server → Turning Server ON → OS Auto Installation → → Monitoring & Management → Resource Usage Billing From now on you will be able to integrate with your favorite billing platform or use our inbuilt WHMCS integration to enable your customer to order and customize servers directly from your website. Afterwards, EasyDCIM will match a server in your data center to the preferences of your customer, turn it on automatically, install chosen during order operating system, assign subnet to server with IP Address Management and provision ready to action machine directly to your client. And that is just the beginning! Now, our complex monitoring and management mechanisms step into action providing you with a toolkit to control the machine, and your customer with a convenient panel to manage their server remotely. Meanwhile, the integration with a billing software assures precise server resource usage billing. We should not forget that this is just one of the possible scenarios. EasyDCIM will readily fit into many other usage concepts and of course serve you as an unprecedented manager of your data centers from a single part, through servers, complete racks, whole buildings up to different locations worldwide. Speaking of version 1.2.0 we cannot miss new Traffic Aggregation functionality allowing to combine traffic from multiple server ports connected to switch ports, or handy Troubleshooting Tool that will assist you in solving various issues. We have also released API v2.0 to enable you to exploit the integration possibilities of EasyDCIM to the max. In parallel, the system has undergone tons of major updates including improvements and bug fixes related to its nearly every aspect - from interface to core enhancements. We are taking great heart from your comments to actively improve our system to meet your expectations. This is a beta version, and as always, we count on your feedback! We expect to release stable version in the second half of October. Please note that you may come across certain parts of our website or documentation which still require an update. We are working on these with full commitment to finalize this task within the upcoming days. Last but not least, we are now entering a completely new phase of further EasyDCIM development. We will be releasing updates more frequently, including new modules, new features and some extras. Be sure to stay tuned for more info coming out soon!
