1. A method of monitoring a data center, comprising: forming a computer analysis model that predicts performance of the data center before the data center is operational; integrating the computer analysis model with a management service of the data center; receiving operational measurements from a plurality of data storage devices each coupled to a data bus within a respective one of a plurality of computing nodes of the data center, the data storage devices comprising a reporting module that collects the operational measurements from at least one other component of the respective computing nodes independently of software facilities of the respective computing nodes; and deriving an operational state of the data center via the computer analysis model responsive to the operational measurements.
