We utilize nlyte to efficiently manage and monitor the physical environment of our data center racks. It provides a visual representation of each rack, detailing the hosted components. Additionally, nlyte aids in calculating power loads, enabling us to assess and forecast power consumption. We leverage data collected through the platform for insights into thermal behaviors, including temperature management. Integration with sensors allows us to display real-time temperature information within the room. This summarizes our typical use of nlyte.

Pros
"The power management aspect of nlyte provides a comprehensive overview of power consumption and forecasting capabilities. It allows for strategic planning, such as assessing the impact of adding new racks with specific power requirements. This feature facilitates considerations not only for power consumption but also for thermal aspects, including airflow dynamics between hot and cold aisles. In essence, the most advantageous feature of nlyte sfor us lies in its power management capabilities. "
Cons
"Nylte is quite intricate to use. Training someone to navigate the platform would likely require a substantial investment, ranging from one to two months for basic proficiency, followed by an additional two to three months of consistent use to gain full proficiency. Despite its complexity, I believe there is room for simplification, making it more user-friendly. While there have been improvements, there is potential for further enhancements in this area."
