Vertiv’s DCIM ambitions wither on Trellis’ demise
Operators often say that data center infrastructure management (DCIM) software is a necessary evil. Modern facilities need centralized, real-time management and analytics, but DCIM is notoriously difficult to deploy. The software is also not easy to rip and replace — yet some operators unexpectedly will have to. Vertiv, a pioneer and leader in equipment monitoring and management, recently told customers it has discontinued its flagship DCIM platform Trellis. Support for existing contracts will end in 2023.
In addition to dismaying these customers, Vertiv’s decision to drop Trellis raises questions about the company’s overall strategy — and value proposition — for data center management software.
