在很少的交叉点上，DCM可以降低数据中心成本，同时提高工作人员的安全性。通过虚拟化进行整合当然可以提高效率并降低数据中心成本，但是它也可以通过减少物理服务器来间接地为工人安全打下基础。将新技术转移到高密度环境中，可使数据中心提高机柜空间利用率和处理性能。问题是，这些措施如何提高工人的安全性？
以这种方式移动IT硬件以最小化成本的行为通常会带来复杂的物理挑战。在当今环境中，服务器，机箱，交换机和路由器的大小和重量通常可以超过400磅。与IT硬件的传统迁移相关的风险很多，其中包括：
- 损坏昂贵的设备
- 在整合过程中需要占用更多数据中心人员
- 没有适当的计划和工具，很可能造成伤害
Data center professionals face the risk of dropping mission-critical IT hardware on a daily basis. This poses a big threat to data loss, and more importantly the safety of the individuals handling the equipment. Powered data center lifts remove the possibility of these types of disasters when the right server-handling device is chosen and properly utilized. When coupled with proper planning, data centers can ensure that data center safety as well as data center costs are optimized.
Powered data center lift technology enables faster and more efficient consolidation, which frees up costly personnel hours in the move while avoiding the constant threat of physical injury. There is also the cost reduction of freeing up as many as three additional people that would need to be involved in heavy hardware moves.
Today’s DCMs have to think very strategically about layout, space utilization power consumption and cooling need in order to reduce the costs of overprovisioning. Server-handling devices may seem like a small consideration when it comes to minimizing data center costs, but when seen through the lens of server c0nsolidation and virtualization, it becomes a critical foundation to that achieving that goal
