Schneider Electric, a global specialist in energy management, today introduced StruxureWare Data Centre Operation for Co-location, a Data Centre Infrastructure Management (DCIM) application within the StruxureWare for Data Centres Software Suite, that is specifically designed to address the needs of data centres with multiple tenants. This new offering is able to optimize data center equipment and space by providing multi-tenant data centre providers and managers including wholesale, retail, managed hosting and cloud providers with real-time status updates on data centre capacities, including data center power, cooling, and available space, to help identify any constraints for future expansion and to better allocate equipment and resources. The application also provides insight into usage and availability on a tenant level, which enables facility managers to operate the data centre as a business through capabilities like detailed chargeback for power and integrated tenant billing and support.
