Data Centre Infrastructure Management (DCIM) Software

As the cost of power rises and data centres become larger and denser, data centre managers need to tackle inefficiencies. APC by Schneider Electric brings customers proactive data center management through integrated software applications sharing a centralised database, enabling design, real-time monitoring, inventory management and planning through predictive simulation. This allows data centre managers to take control of their resources and make significant cost savings by eliminating wastage. Along with energy efficient cooling, this software is part of a significant trend towards greener data centres.

According to data centre analysts, 451 Group, a small-to-average-sized 1MW European data centre that uses management software to reduce energy consumption by 10% could be expected to save around £400,000 over five years. These savings will be amplified when the Government’s CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme comes into effect in April 2012.
