Telecom Lead America: Schneider Electric, an energy
management specialist has introduced new Data Center Infrastructure Management
(DCIM) software namely StruxureWare Data Center Operation v7.2.
The new DCIM software identifies underutilized and
comatose servers enabling the optimization of IT equipment within the data
center.
The latest version of operation platform includes a new
IT Power Control, powered by Intel Data Center Manager (DCM), and the
inclusion of the Cisco UCS Manager Plug-in.
Businesses are increasingly looking to the data
center for opportunities for optimization, which can be achieved through
right-sizing and consolidating the physical infrastructure and optimizing the
IT layer,” said Soeren Brogaard Jensen, Vice President, Solution Software,
Schneider Electric.
The company claims that the StruxureWare Data Center
Operation version 7.2 provides crucial information for making key decisions on
how to run data centers more efficiently.
The platform enables data center managers to operate,
monitor, analyze and optimize the energy usage of a data center. The ability to
analyze and optimize the energy usage allows companies for CapEX and OpEx
savings.
The Intel DCM enables the StruxureWare IT Power Control
module to continuously monitor the ongoing level of power and thermal
consumption at an increased granular level, across a broad range of servers and
IT devices,” said Jeff Klaus, director, Intel Data Center Manager
Solutions.
With existing VMware vSphere integration, the platform
now adds the Cisco UCS Manager plug-in which offers Cisco UCS customers a
plug n’ play configuration.
Furthermore, the plug-in allows customers to set the
power cap for their racks with the knowledge of real-time physical capacity
constraints.
Schneider Electric leads data center infrastructure management
market

Leader in the Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) space.
