Reporting in the Summer 2012 issue of FedTech Magazine, Melissa Delaney has written an article describing how federal agencies are learning to leverage data center infrastructure management (DCIM) tools to better manage their data centers, while making progress toward the goals of the Federal Data Center Consolidation Initiative.
