Who Is This For?

Data centre managers, infrastructure operations leads, facility engineers, DCIM implementation specialists, and IT audit leads who are responsible for ensuring data centre efficiency, compliance, and operational resilience. Also ideal for consulting engineers, facilities directors, and digital transformation leads who need to evaluate, upgrade, or standardise DCIM practices across hybrid and colocation environments. If your role involves managing power, cooling, assets, capacity, monitoring, or compliance in mission-critical infrastructure, this guide is engineered for your daily challenges and strategic objectives.

Are you risking costly data centre outages, failed compliance audits, or inefficient infrastructure performance because your Data Centre Infrastructure Management (DCIM) strategy lacks a structured, standards-aligned approach? The DCIM A Complete Guide - 2019 Edition is the definitive professional development resource for data centre practitioners who must implement, audit, or optimise DCIM frameworks with precision and confidence. Without a comprehensive, evidence-based methodology, organisations face unplanned downtime, energy waste, regulatory exposure, and operational blind spots that undermine resilience and strategic credibility. This complete guide delivers a battle-tested, 60+ file implementation playbook that equips you to rapidly assess maturity, close compliance gaps, align with ISO/IEC 27001, ITIL 4, ANSI/BICSI 002-2019, and NIST Cybersecurity Framework standards, and future-proof your critical infrastructure operations.

How This Helps You

You gain immediate access to a standards-aligned, fully documented DCIM implementation system that eliminates guesswork and accelerates time to value. By leveraging this guide, you can conduct rigorous self-assessments in under two hours, identify compliance gaps before auditors do, and build a defensible, future-ready data centre strategy. Without it, you risk non-compliance with operational resilience benchmarks, inefficient energy use, missed capacity thresholds, and preventable outages, each of which threatens service delivery, regulatory standing, and professional credibility. This resource enables you to act decisively, reduce organisational risk, and position yourself as the recognised authority on DCIM within your enterprise.

Purchasing the DCIM A Complete Guide - 2019 Edition is the professional decision that equips you with a field-tested, comprehensive implementation system used by leading organisations to ensure audit readiness, operational excellence, and infrastructure longevity. You’re not buying a book, you’re acquiring a 60+ file, practitioner-validated playbook that becomes your permanent reference, audit defence, and execution engine.
