Nlyte builds DCIM software and services that let data center managers inventory equipment, locate servers and racks, plan capacity, and predict how moves will affect systems. The company says its tools help optimize power, cooling and space and its website claims the software can extend the lifetime of an existing data center facility by 75% (about five years). Gartner research cited in the article indicates DCIM solutions can reduce data center energy consumption by roughly 20% annually. Nlyte sells to businesses that operate 100 or more racks; IDC has counted more than 106,000 such data centers, and the company says current adoption is low, representing a large opportunity. The Menlo Park company cites growing demand from cloud computing, outsourcing and other trends that increase stress on existing facilities and plans to use new capital to expand marketing primarily in North America with some expansion into Europe and the Asia‑Pacific Rim.
