APC’s Ecostruxure IT DCIM 3.0 is here!

Introducing APC by Schneider Electric’s expanded EcoStruxure IT data center infrastructure management (DCIM) portfolio with revamped capabilities.

Data centres are the backbone of today’s digital lifestyle. Emerging technologies are causing data centre capacity to grow at a very fast pace all around the world.To meet this increasing digital demand, IT has become a complex hybrid environment of on-prem, cloud, distributed edge, and colocation. The stakes are higher than ever for data centre operators, with continued focus on providing 100% uptime, protecting their attack surface from cybersecurity threats, and delivering more sustainable operations.

Data centre operators have to navigate a complex landscape with this hybrid IT approach and the resiliency, security, and sustainability it requires. One tool that is becoming more and more critical to successfully perform their duties is the use of an effective Data Centre Infrastructure Management software, known as DCIM. The introduction of the first wave of DCIM consisted of monitoring and management tools. The second wave of DCIM, or DCIM 2.0, brought in planning and modeling capabilities. However, this is not enough to meet today’s demands. DCIM 3.0 must bring together wave 1 and 2 in addition to meeting security, and sustainability goals, and operate across this complex hybrid IT landscape. It must evolve to empower data centres to operate the most resilient, secure, and sustainable IT infrastructure anywhere!
