DCImanager is a key solution for infrastructure management at Rustelekom
What do you like best?
Our main server location is in Germany. Data center engineers are very expensive there. DCImanager helps us save money, because we can control equipment remotely via IPMI.
Here's what we like the most:
1. Convenient system for processing customer requests. You can view data about the infrastructure: statistics, resource consumption by equipment, all this in a few clicks.
2. I like that you can create a huge infrastructure and manage it from a single point. When we want to scale our infrastructure, we quickly add new nodes and host virtual servers on them.
3. To introduce new equipment, we do not need to switch to new software - it is enough to make updates in a timely manner.
4. Agile development - our wishes are heard.
What do you dislike?
There is nothing superfluous in the product and there are no problems with it, or they are minimal and are solved within a couple of updates. Yes, there are questions about billing, all sorts of little things, but they are somehow solved. In the end, everything is more than convenient.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
We remotely manage servers located in several locations (Germany, Netherlands, France, USA, Singapore and Hong Kong). DCImanager performs automatic diagnostics, prepares the server for operation (installs the OS and scripts), provides clients with limited access to manage servers.
