Regardless of how big or small a facility may be, data centre operators need to ensure that systems run efficiently and reliably throughout the life cycle so to maximize return on investment, according to Kim Povlsen, vice-president and general manager of digital services and data centre software at Schneider.

“With the latest enhancements, StruxureWare Data Center Operation v8.1 becomes an even more integrated part of the decision making along with monitoring, modelling and managing to drive greater transparency across the data centre, optimize and control performance and reduce costs,” he said.

The new capabilities found in DCO v8.1 include:

• Workflow template creation that simplifies workflow management while providing more control of tracking, moves, adds and changes across a data centre’s assets to improve system performance.
• Integration of third-party IT services, providing an open communication architecture enabling the sharing of relevant information across systems from multiple vendors to give a complete view of data centre performance and availability to boost reliability and efficiency.
• An adaptive user interface which enables system access via any desktop, tablet or smartphone device to manage everyday tasks, such as tracking status updates, managing project timelines and setting task owners to further simplify data centre management.

StruxureWare Data Center Operation v8.1 is currently available through Schneider Electric and its partners.
