Summer of Webinars Event #1: "Where Automation Meets SDDC"

During model development we often study metrics with the name “training loss,” “validation accuracy” or “F1 score”.  Ultimately, the reason we use these metrics when building models is because they are available, computable, theoretically supported and, hopefully, correlated to the success of the model.  The actual success of the model, in production, will be measured through a number of business metrics such as “engagement,” “consistency” or “profit”.

In recognition of this dilemma, we have seen the community embrace multiple metrics of success during the deployment of models.  In this talk, we discuss incorporating more metrics into the model development process -- this can allow us to better guide our model development towards success in production (not just during training).  At first, these can be incorporated as simply as passively recording metrics which point to business criteria (such as model complexity) and then reviewing them immediately before deployment.  Eventually, we can embed these metrics in the development process to better align the resulting models with business success.  We discuss our strategies for managing (and optimizing) multiple metrics with the goal of empowering users to make better decisions in these complicated circumstances.

There is a growing need for real-time analysis and AI to get the most value out of your IT Infrastructure. Join Intel’s experts for a live webinar that addresses these challenges in today’s data center.

In this webinar we will cover Intel’s solution to real data center challenges:

• Requirements for a “single pane of management glass” and manageability consistency across distributed, heterogeneous edge-to-core physical infrastructure deployments
• Emergence of geo-distributed and multi-site edge computing deployments, with heterogenous multi-vendor infrastructure.
• Proliferation of multiple infrastructure management “sources of truth” and lack of infrastructure capability awareness consistency
• End-users and service developers require on-demand application access with ultra-low latency and real-time response
• Specification of application requirements is shifting from explicit hardware capabilities to hardware “qualities of service” and SLAs/OLAs

コロナ禍以前でも課題であったサーバ機器のリモートマネジメント、自動化、およびアセットの効率的な管理。未だ目視での作業とスプレッド・シートで管理している管理者も多い中、これまで以上に現地に赴かない管理方法が必要となっています。

Does the shift from on-premise, private clouds to co-location and public/hybrid clouds demand more visibility and operational control than you think you can deliver?

Fortunately, data center management tools keep a vigil on power, thermal consumption, server health, and utilization, allowing better control no matter your cloud’s shape.

In this session, learn how DCM enables real-time monitoring and precise management to lower operational costs and optimize infrastructure for today even as you’re forecasting for tomorrow.

Power Saving In Data Centers - NetZoom and Intel discuss the pain points of power savings and also discuss the most comprehensive DCIM solution that delivers instant ROI.
DCIM software on average can save an organization's data center almost 25% per year in power reduction costs. Power usage and costs are big pain points in data centers across the industry. As the cost of power continually rises, and initiatives to go green do not get implemented, how are modern-day data centers’ combatting these initiatives, proactively understanding their power usage, and successfully saving power, which in turn decreases organizational operating cost?
DCIM Software with real-time monitoring can help improve capacity planning by knowing and analyzing the capacity, predicting future capacity requirements, evaluating the impact of change on the data center, and optimizing capacity consumption.
NetZoom’s DCIM solutions allow IT and facilities managers to make more informed and presumably better decisions about overall energy usage, operational optimization, and workflow optimization.
NetZoom, Inc. is excited to discuss how proper utilization of DCIM software and proactively understanding what is going on in your data center can help you draw down power to the minimum, massively reducing your power use. In this webinar, we will discuss:
• Identifying Thermal Failures and Risks in Real-Time
• Understanding how to proactively monitor the health of your devices
• How to accurately identify power failures and threats in real-time
• Setting policies and capacities and identifying assets or racks reaching/exceeding capacity
• Identify candidates for server replacements and tech refreshes
• Finding under-utilized “ghost” servers
• Identifying impacts for proactive planning
• Rack provisioning and capacity planning to address stranded space

Usted está tomando decisiones constantemente basadas en el consumo de energía. ¿Cuánta potencia usa cada rack ... y qué equipo va a dónde? Usted está lidiando con los costos de energía y refrigeración que están aumentando ... no disminuyendo. Está gastando dinero y tiempo en fallas del servidor que simplemente no podía ver venir.
Los administradores de los centros de datos enfrentan un problema común: demasiados activos, muy poco tiempo y poca información que sea fácil de acceder y de actuar. Tienes muchas piezas diferentes ... en muchos lugares diferentes.

Con DCIM combinado con el software de Monitoreo Ambiental, tiene un repositorio centralizado desde el cual puede obtener fácilmente la información que necesita para reunir todas las piezas, actuar y ganar control.
