Schneider Electric has
announced its StruxureWare for Data Centres software has won the DCS Award for
‘Datacentre Infrastructure Management (DCIM) Product of the Year’.

Receiving the award on behalf
of Schneider Electric, UK enterprise sales director Matthew Baynes said, “We
are delighted that our StruxureWare for Data Centres software has won the DCIM
award for the second year running. I’d like to thank the editorial judging
panel for shortlisting us, as well as the many data centre professionals that
have voted for StruxureWare for Data Centres.”

Developed by Schneider
Electric, StruxureWare for Data Centres is an integrated DCIM suite comprised
of comprehensive modules for data centre operations, control and management.
Schneider Electric DCIM software applications enable businesses to prosper by
managing their data centres across multiple domains.

“The market for DCIM is now
evolving rapidly and already many companies are starting to benefit from the
actionable intelligence which StruxureWare for Data Centres software provides,
to enable an ideal balance of high availability and peak efficiency throughout
the entire data centre life cycle,” Matthew Baynes added.

At the core of the software
suite is StruxureWare Data Centre Operation, the physical infrastructure
management application. Unlike other DCIM platforms, it provides an integrated
dashboard that facilitates vendor neutral inventory management. What’s more,
this dashboard displays real-time device failures and data within the data
centre physical infrastructure layout, as well as recommendations on how to resolve
issues.

The ability to make such
informed decisions from a “building-to-server” perspective can be multi-layered
with the addition of optional modules created to meet specific user
requirements, from Capacity and Change Management to Energy Cost, Energy
Efficiency and IT Optimisation.

The suite enables comprehensive
dashboards of live data centre operations, mobile operation for real-time
tracking of equipment adds, moves and changes and on-the-go access via smart
phones and tablet apps.
