by Shane Henson — January 4, 2012—Schneider Electric, a specialist in energy management, is now even better equipped to meet its customers’ diverse needs through the recent purchase of the Viridity EnergyCenter 2.0 platform. Viridity Energy Center is a respected provider of DCIM management software that offers a cross-functional solution for understanding the connection between physical infrastructure, IT equipment and the applications that run on them.
According to Schneider Electric, this investment will augment the StruxureWare for Data Center Operations DCIM suite. StruxureWare for Data Centers is a combination of Schneider Electric’s market-leading Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) and Data Center Facility Management (DCFM) software tools. The complete suite is able to provide data gathering, monitoring, automation, and planning and implementation functionalities to enable an integrated and multifaceted view of all the mission-critical physical systems of the data center.
As a cornerstone of this suite, c-level executives, data center managers and facilities managers alike have complete visibility and control over their data center’s daily operations. The ability to measure energy consumption accurately and by device will differentiate Schneider Electric and the StruxureWare for Data Center Operations suite, ultimately helping customers make the most of their energy, a representative from Schneider Electric remarked.
Ultimately, Schneider Electric’s leadership expects this strategic investment in Viridity’s EnergyCenter 2.0 software to enable its customers to meet their most pressing data center energy challenges while gaining efficiency in all levels of their daily data center operations.
