2.1 Data Center Explorer

The Data Center Explorer is one of several major PlateSpin Recon views. It is used to organize, monitor, view, and manage information about data center assets. PlateSpin Recon uses information about them to display dynamic charts, generate performance reports, and generate performance forecasts.

The Data Center Explorer is the central point for:

  • Interacting with physical and virtual machines in the data center

  • Discovering and inventorying hardware and workloads

  • Adding, monitoring, filtering, grouping, or deleting servers
