Schneider offers resellers route to manage data centres

Posted on October 17, 2018 by - News

Barcelona last week

Schneider Electric is offering a service to solution providers to offer a cloud management system to offer complex networks, edge facilities and distributed IT to their customers.

Launched at the Canalys Channel Forum in Barcelona last week, the company said it allows partners to make more money and offer their customers a way of monitoring infrastructures using what it claims is the first cloud based data centre management system, which Schenider describes as DmaaS – direct management as a service.

The system, called EcoStruxure IT Export for partners, can be sold to customers as a way of managing hybrid computer systems including data centres and private clouds. It uses predictive analytics to monitor systems.

The approach is vendor neutral and lets Schneider partners offer monitoring of power and cooling, letting them pitch end users visibility into their own infrastructures and monitor inventory, alarms and recommendations.

IP-House-Backboneconnect-5Data centre start-up IP House has selected EcoStruxure IT to come up with its next generation cloud-based Data Centre Infrastructure Management (DCIM) platform.

IP House Operations and Commercial Manager Vinny Vaghani said: “During the planning stages we chose to use software from an industry-leading vendor.

“One of the biggest drivers for selecting EcoStruxure IT was its vendor-neutrality and ability to integrate with different products to provide detailed data in a single dashboard. As a colocation provider, we have to adhere to the highest standards of uptime and resiliency, monitoring and management is an absolute necessity for our customers.”

IP House’s carrier-neutral data centre has been built to Tier III standards on the edge of London’s financial district. It contains 14,000 Sqft. of white space across two technical suites and will be operational later this month. The facility also uses critical components from Schneider Electric’s EcoStruxure for Data Centers architecture, including Power Distribution (PDU), Switchgear, NetShelter Racks and Symmetra PX UPS.

P House Data Centre Manager Sean Hilliar said: “Our clients depend on both uptime and 24/7 connectivity to business-critical applications hosted within the data centre. Having the ability to proactively monitor all elements of the infrastructure with an advanced software solution like EcoStruxure IT will reassure customers that we’re providing them with a secure, competitive and resilient colocation service, which safeguards them against downtime.”

EcoStruxure IT is a  vendor-neutral Datacentre Management as a Service (DMaaS) architecture, purpose-built for the hybrid IT and data centre environments. It provides global visibility from anywhere, at any time on any device and data-driven insights into critical IT assets, which helps customers mitigate risk and reduce downtime.
