Schneider Says Plug Your Data Center into Its Cloud
Schneider Electric is taking a remote-assistance approach to data center management for its customers, inviting them to connect their physical infrastructure assets to its cloud, where the data will be analyzed for potential failures, while the company’s personnel will be on hand to either troubleshoot issues remotely or dispatch field service reps to customer data centers.
The new service is called StruxureOn, using the branding of Schneider’s line of infrastructure management software tools called StruxureWare, which includes its DCIM software suite, StruxureWare for Data Centers. The company has already rolled out the service in North America and plans to launch it globally in phases “towards the end of 2016 and into 2017,” Schneider said in a statement.
