Schneider Electric has added a power distribution infrastructure monitoring element to its StruxureWare software suite for data center infrastructure management (DCIM).

StruxureWare Power Monitoring Expert Data Center Edition monitors and analyzes power distribution infrastructure, including MV, LV and IT floor power. The software also has modules to implement features for alarming, power quality analysis, UPS and branch circuit system capacity management, automated generator test reporting, PUE metrics reporting and power system losses financial impact analysis.

It has features designed to help data center managers decrease energy-related operating expenditures. The software can monitor branch circuit energy usage for billing purposes, allowing usage metrics to be exported to billing software.

Ram Kaushik, a Schneider offer manager, said, “Our solution collects and manages power and energy data, so you can optimize your data center’s performance.”
