DCMM, the full name of Data Center Management Maturity Model, represents the intelligent level of enterprise data management and utilization. It covers all aspects of the data center, including infrastructure, security, efficiency, compliance, and more, providing a complete set of standards and guidance for enterprise data center management.
DCMM acts like a Swiss Army knife, providing powerful support for enterprises in strategic planning, operations management, and performance evaluation. It not only focuses on the use of technology, but also on processes and people, aiming to improve the availability and performance of data centers, reduce operating costs, enhance the core competitiveness of enterprises, and promote the digital transformation and upgrading of enterprises.
With the country's emphasis on data strategy, as well as the development of the DCMM standard implementation evaluation work of the China Electronic Information Industry Federation and 12 evaluation agencies, since the release of the standard in 2018, 954 companies have completed DCMM certification and obtained grade certificates (data statistics are on December 27, 2022), of which the number of certified enterprises in 2022 has skyrocketed, reaching 775, accounting for 81% of the total. More than 90% of them said that DCMM assessment helped them improve the management level of their data centers and reduce operating costs.
So, how can enterprises establish and improve DCMM?The answer is to apply for DCMM certification, and the process of application and certification is the process of establishing and improving DCMM for enterprises. First of all, enterprises should conduct a comprehensive self-assessment from all aspects of the data center to identify existing problems and areas for improvement. Secondly, it is also necessary to formulate a corresponding improvement plan with reference to the standard of the DCMM model, and implement it step by step according to the plan. In this process, enterprises should pay attention to the cultivation and introduction of talents, and improve the data center management skills and awareness of employees.
Since there is a lot of professional knowledge that needs to be mastered and understood in the DCMM application and certification process, inexperienced enterprises may apply for certification multiple times due to non-compliant materials or substandard standards. At this time, enterprises can choose a professional DCMM consulting and certification service organization to assist in benchmarking, such as Texun Group, and then apply for DCMM certification from a certification body approved by the China Electronic Information Industry Federation.
After choosing the DCMM consulting and certification service of Texun Group, enterprises will get one-stop nanny-level services for the whole process. We will assist enterprises to establish a professional data center management team, which is responsible for formulating a clear data center management process, including hardware management, software management, security management, energy consumption management, etc., to ensure the stable operation of the data center. At the same time, it can also help enterprises formulate long-term data center strategic plans according to their own business needs and goals, evaluate and analyze data center performance for enterprises, continuously improve data center management processes and strategies, and improve data center performance and reliability.
In addition, as a gold medal team with more than 10 years of industry experience and more than 1,000 enterprises, the company lives up to its good reputation and customer trust, and can also provide enterprises with high-quality patents, global patent and trademark copyright applications, property rights infringement risk analysis and response, China invention patent expedited, daily intellectual property consulting consulting, patent mining and layout and other services, helping enterprises innovate and develop, and assisting enterprises to improve their data management capabilities.
In the future, with the acceleration of digital transformation and the continuous development of big data technology, the DCMM model will be applied and developed in more fields. It is expected that in the next few years, the application scope of DCMM model will be further expanded, and it will become an important bellwether for data center management. At the same time, the DCMM model will continue to innovate and improve to adapt to changing market needs and technological developments.
