| Summary: | This article presents an overview of a new multilayer node event processing (MNEP) method for improved data center energy efficiency and event management monitoring in its physical infrastructure. Event management is essential for the provision and maintenance of the reliability and functionality of the physical infrastructure. For effective maintenance, action preventing any downtime accurate event information as well as appropriate energy support is of outmost importance. The novelty of this approach lies in the enhanced availability and reliability of the physical infrastructure, improved data center infrastructure energy efficiency, as well as lower costs when designing a new physical infrastructure system. The MNEP method presents a data model based on the node tree processing. The experimental results show that the number of all potential unexpected events is reduced significantly as a result of the accurate identification of the alarm root cause. The comparison of time parameters required to evaluate the maintenance factors shows that the time needed to detect, identify, and react to alarm events decreases and has a significant impact on maintaining a defined high level of availability and energy efficiency in a data center physical infrastructure.
