Schneider Electric is collaborating with HP on a new converged data centre and IT management platform.

The joint solution for facilities and IT professionals will feature HP Converged Management Consulting Services (CMCS) combined with Schneider Electric’s Data Centre Infrastructure Management (DCIM) solution, StruxureWare for Data Centers. Combining these two technologies will provide customers with significant energy savings and more efficient management of IT services and assets.

“By collaborating with HP to provide a holistic approach to managing IT business process assets and workloads, we are continuing to bridge the gap between IT and facilities,” said Soeren Jensen, vice president, Enterprise Management and Software, Schneider Electric. “Enabling IT service providers to instantly view the impact of any changes in their data centre, as well as the operational costs associated with these changes is an important step towards improving energy efficiency in data centres and IT.”

Rick Einhorn, vice president, Technology Services, Datacenter Consulting, HP, said: “DCIM provides a holistic view of the data centre to enable better operational efficiency and capacity planning; however, many organisations lack the unique mix of internal IT, facility and service management expertise needed to make the most of DCIM’s benefits.

“HP Converged Management Consulting Services help customers capitalise on Schneider Electric’s top DCIM solution, StruxureWare by delivering deep expertise in ITSM, IT infrastructure, and facilities, as well as a framework to connect business goals, systems and data centre processes.”
