Aperture revolutionizes data center management with a suite of advanced solutions for infrastructure planning, management and performance optimization. It is the only enterprise-wide solution with the capabilities and tools to deliver all aspects of Data Center Service Management™ (DCSM™) and assist IT organizations with the challenges they face.

Aperture solutions uniquely meet the DCSM requirements for management and control of physical assets, resources and processes— all built on a foundation of integrated information. With help from Aperture, IT organizations can deliver the highest levels of predictable, efficient IT service, successfully support green initiatives, proactively manage capacity and optimize resource use.

Performance Optimization
Aperture solutions for performance optimization provide a single, holistic view of the data center with accurate insight into current load and historical usage patterns. For the first time ever, IT can now strategically manage resources to achieve an optimal balance between costs and service, reduce capital expenditure and increase resource and process efficiency.

• Aperture Integrated Resource Manager aggregates and normalizes real-time data from disparate systems, devices and facilities to compute a risk-adjusted value that represents the actual load on resources. Using this actionable operational information, IT can better maximize utilization and improve efficiency.
• Aperture Capacity Manager aligns business forecasts with the current state and consumption trends for the infrastructure based on analysis of historical usage patterns to help IT proactively manage data center capacity and economically plan expansion and consolidation.

Physical Asset and Resource Management
Aperture solutions deliver the information and analysis needed to optimize operational control of resources, people and processes within the data center. Real-time monitoring and automation provide accurate insight into the state of the data center to improve change and capacity management as well as effectively manage potential issues.

• Liebert SiteScan Web and Liebert Nform monitor and control cooling, power, UPS and other critical equipment in real-time to facilitate quick equipment assessment, corrective action and tailored alarm management and reporting.
• Aperture Configuration Manager is the single source for reporting and analytics on the data center infrastructure offering visual management of the equipment, space, power, cooling and port connectivity. It automates management processes as they relate to the data center and integrates the required data into the organization's overall configuration management database.
• Aperture Infrastructure Process Manager monitors the status and impact of the critical infrastructure through a unified view of the data center. It provides a vendor-independent monitoring platform, which interfaces with the broader enterprise monitoring systems to provide monitoring of the data center with an IT perspective.

Integrated Information
A single system of record provides the foundation for Aperture solutions and the basis for effective decision-making. It delivers integrated information from a multi-dimensional perspective to help IT gain more agility, deliver higher quality service and easily manage operational costs in an efficient and effective manner.

Aperture Integration Manager provides a standardized web services interface so that organizations can integrate Aperture solutions with other IT management systems and the broader ITSM framework. This solution includes a SOAP-based integration layer and tools, support for data- and process-driven interfaces to Aperture solutions and upgradeable, transaction-driven architecture to reduce the cost of ownership.
