No two businesses are same- so even though the cloud storage is here, many other organizations opt for traditional in-house data center better suited with their business objective.DCIS means many different things to many different people and there is a variety of definitions available. According to Gartner, DCIS refers to the tools that monitor, measure, manage and/or control data center use and energy consumption of all IT related equipment (such as servers, storage and network switch) and facilities infrastructure components (such as power distribution unit (PDUs) and computer, room air conditioner (CRACs). DCIS has been around since 2008/09 and it’s gaining momentum at a faster pace.
