Case Study: UF Health Shands achieves real-time data center visibility and improved capacity planning with Raritan dcTrack

UF Health Shands Saves 50% in Asset Tracking Efficiency with Raritan's Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) dcTrack Solution

UF Health Shands, a major University of Florida–affiliated health system with more than 10,000 employees and multiple hospitals and outpatient sites, faced rapid data-center growth—from one to four facilities—and could no longer manage assets, space, power and cooling with spreadsheets and Visio. The IT team needed a flexible way to discover and track every server, UPS and connection across remote sites, improve energy efficiency, and support capacity planning as data storage and application demand exploded.

They implemented Raritan’s dcTrack DCIM in phased deployments, using auto-discovery, a tailored inventory workflow, and integrations with Power IQ and their service desk to manage assets, connections and changes. The result: a 50% gain in efficiency locating physical assets, streamlined moves/adds/changes via a dashboard that reveals available space, power and network capacity, end-to-end connection tracing, reduced manual input, and better forecasting (including PUE tracking) for future growth.
