LAS VEGAS (April 20, 2015) — Raritan, a leading provider of data center infrastructure management (DCIM) and rack power distribution solutions, will be speaking at this week’s AFCOM industry conference on how intelligent data center infrastructures help manage resources, services and costs.

“To keep pace with business demands, data centers are being asked to do more with their resources and to be more agile,” says Nicole Espasa, Raritan Marketing Director.  “At AFCOM we will be sharing customer examples and best practices on how adding intelligence to your data centers infrastructure – with PDUs, sensors and DCIM software—can help reduce costs and make managing resources more efficient.  Our AFCOM sessions should be of interest to those who are in the process of considering a DCIM solution, or intelligent rack power distribution, and would like to learn how to utilize existing resources better.”
