Data Centre Infrastructure Management (DCIM) Software
Scalable monitoring software collects, organizes, and distributes critical device information to provide a comprehensive view of your equipment, allowing you to focus on what matters most: efficient uptime and downtime.
DCIM Software for Data Centre Challenges
Instant fault notification and escalation enable quick resolution of critical infrastructure events.
With increasingly complex data centres, Schneider Electric offers a comprehensive DCIM solution. EcoStruxure IT ensures business continuity by enabling secure monitoring, management, insights, planning, and modelling, whether from a single IT rack to hyper-scale IT, on-premises, in the cloud, or at the edge.
Whether located in a data centre, remote office, or campus environment, Schneider Electric’s Data Centre Expert, along with power, cooling, environmental, and security devices, provides a comprehensive centralised monitoring solution.
Data Centre Expert offers power readings, environmental readings, and camera images from any site on your network, aggregated into a common management platform. Images and alerts from around the company can be instantly viewed and managed, trends analysed, and problems averted, providing unparalleled physical threat management.
Integrated with power and building management
Integrate with Building Operation and Power Monitoring Expert for information on the health of critical support systems in electrical and mechanical rooms as well as power quality and electrical distribution.
Web Services API
