DCO v8.1 includes new features that enable data center operators to design, manage, and execute workflow tasks more efficiently and gain greater control over the data center environment.
Among the new features in version 8.1 are:
- Workflow creation, which simplifies workflow management while providing greater control over tracking, moving, adding, and changing data center assets to improve system performance.
- Integration of third-party ICT services, providing an open communication architecture that enables the exchange of relevant information across multi-vendor systems, delivering a comprehensive view of data center performance and availability, thereby increasing reliability and efficiency.
- A responsive user interface that allows access to the system from any device—PC, tablet, or smartphone—for managing everyday tasks such as status tracking, project timeline management, and task owner configuration, simplifying data center management.
“Managing a data center can be complex, expensive, and time-consuming for any business. Regardless of the size of the facility, it’s crucial to ensure the management system operates efficiently and reliably throughout the entire lifecycle to maximize ROI,” said Kim Povlsen, Vice President and General Manager of Digital Services & Data Center Software at Schneider Electric. “With the latest enhancements, StruxureWare Data Center Operation v8.1 becomes a key decision-making tool, alongside monitoring, modeling, and management capabilities that help achieve greater data center transparency, optimize and control performance, and reduce costs.
The StruxureWare data center management software suite provides complete visibility from the building to the IT equipment. Data center managers can thus reduce energy consumption, increase system uptime, and improve planning and operational performance throughout the data center lifecycle.”
