Data center management

Data center management is the collection of tasks performed by those responsible for managing ongoing operation of a data center.[1] This includes Business service management and planning for the future.

Historically, "data center management" was seen as something performed by employees, with the help of tools collectively called data center-infrastructure management (DCIM) tools.[2]

Both for in-house operation and outsourcing, service-level agreements must be managed to ensure data-availability.[3]
