Schneider Electric S.A. announced, at Cisco Live, that they are planning to expand their existing relationship with Cisco to significantly broaden their energy management solution portfolio. The company will demonstrate these 'proof of concept' solutions at the Cisco Live show. This announcement builds on the recently launched Schneider Electric Torana(TM) Application Server which integrates Schneider Electric's EcoStruxure(TM) architecture and the Cisco(R) EnergyWise(TM) offering. Using the Cisco(R) Intelligent Network, these new solutions will maximize operational energy savings in the IT domain to better support enterprise energy management goals. Schneider Electric StruxureWare(TM) for Data Centers Suite Cisco UCS Manager Plug-In As companies manage a more energy efficient data center, StruxureWare Data Centers Operations Suite helps bridge the communication gap between IT and facilities and will integrate with the Cisco UCS(TM) Manager to provide complete data center infrastructure management (DCIM). Building on the StruxureWare Data Center Operations Suite's ability to guide the placement of new servers with respect to capacities such as power, cooling, and network and physical space constraints, customers will be able to use this critical knowledge of real-time physical capacity constraints to enable the Cisco UCS(TM) Manager to automatically cap power for either an entire location or for individual zones. This will help ensure the compatibility of both the power and cooling load to rack and data center capacity for gaining optimal utilization of the data center's physical infrastructure while eliminating the risk of tripped breakers and reducing over-provisioning. This combined solution will also provide real-time automated inventory tracking of all data center equipment from commission to decommission. The solution will offer monitoring capabilities so customers can discover which virtual machines are running on specific servers -- providing critical information in the event of a physical failure, and automatically moving impacted applications to a safe environment.
