New and emerging technologies like Artificial Intelligence, Augmented Reality, and Virtual Reality are all going to need detailed, accurate data management so that they can become useful as tools to promote operational efficiency and cost savings. As connected Internet of Things devices become more popular, making buildings and data centers smarter, it is becoming important to map out the physical infrastructure to properly manage it. The bottom line is that you canвЂ™t accurately manage or optimize anything that you donвЂ™t fully understand. As IT professionals, we are fighting security issues, complexity, pressure to reduce operational costs and are being asked simultaneously to improve both efficiency and performance. I covered at a high level вЂњwhatвЂќ AIM is now, let me explain вЂњwhyвЂќ it is. broad, general, overall basic, central, essential, fundamental chief, first, key. When you compare AIM with DCIM, AIM accurately documents the physical network infrastructure including all cabling and connectivity. While features vary from product to product, DCIM typically includes some aspect of power, cooling and overall physical infrastructure management (i.e., facilities and IT). DCIM is a generic term used to define any process, product or solution that is used to manage a data center. Now, there is often some confusion between AIM and DCIM (Data Center Infrastructure Management).

Then, in early 2016, it was ratified into ISO/IEC 18598.ДЄccording to the TIA standard, AIM means: Integrated hardware and software system that automatically detects the insertion or removal of cords, documents the cabling infrastructure including connected equipment enabling management of the infrastructure and data exchange with other systems. In September 2010, the industry converged on the term AIM when it was introduced into TIA 606-B standards. Obviously, the term AIM has various meanings however, in the world of connectivity, AIM is an acronym for Automated Infrastructure Management.Д¬LICK TO TWEET: CommScope's LeaAnn Carl provides you the definition of AIM.ДЄIM has been around a while and relates to: I will start by clarifying that we are talking about AIM in the context of an intelligent building or in a state-of-the-art data center.
