Schneider Electric, a global specialist in energy management, recently launched StruxureWare™ Data Center Operation for Co-location in the Middle East. A Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) application within the StruxureWare for Data Centers Software Suite, the solution is specifically designed to address the needs of data centers with multiple tenants.
The new offering can optimize data center equipment and space by giving multi-tenant data center providers and managers real-time status updates on the center’s power, cooling and space capacities. This helps in the identification of constraints for future expansion and better allocation of resources. The solution also features an integrated tenant billing system that calculates power chargeback and facilitates the operation of the data center as a business.
Syed Akhtar, Sales Director, Software – MEA – IT Business, Schneider Electric said: “StruxureWare Data Center Operation for Co-location provides unique business advantages for multi-tenant data center operators. The solution identifies available cage and rack space and has the ability to integrate tenant billing. The technology delivers the most accurate availability information allowing facility managers to make decisions and transactions on the go. Furthermore, the solution works across all industry sectors including retail, wholesale, managed hosting and cloud providers. Our regional customers have been anticipating the launch of the upgrade and we look forward to servicing them.”
Expanding on Schneider Electric’s existing end-to-end DCIM software suite which enables data center managers to monitor, operate, analyze and optimize the power, cooling, security and energy usage from building through IT systems, major features of the StruxureWare Data Centre Operation for Co-location offering are:
• Space and Cage Management allows the data center operator to apply grid-based naming for floor mount equipment, utilize cage drawing tools and power modeling, as well as visualize the solution in 3D
• Integrated Tenant Billing imports tenant and billing account data from the CRM system into the DCIM system for mapping tenant assets, providing detailed power draw, total energy footprint and access to an instant impact analysis at the tenant level – allowing for integrated billing support on sold and used power and footprint
• Facility Maintenance Scheduling, providing a complete audit trail on all facility equipment and cages, the ability to create and track maintenance schedules by equipment, and impact analysis to ensure redundancy is maintained during maintenance procedures
• Measured Cage Power, provides detailed chargeback to individual tenants through an easy overview of sold and measured power
• Space Capacity Reports show an instant overview of current space capacities, identifying space as sellable, occupied, reserved or internally used
• Computer Aided Design (CAD) Integration automatically converts CAD cage drawings into a DCIM model, keeping all CAD layered information intact for future needs
• Advanced Power Modeling, including the ability to model Distributed Redundant UPS and Distributed Redundant UPS with Catcher for a representation of the actual power distribution in a facility
