ABB launched a new management suite for the data center that covers software, hardware and services at DatacenterDynamics CONVERGED in London today.

It said the suite uses the access capabilities of ABB’s System 800xA platform as its foundation, which allows it to Decathlon to harmonize a number of IT disciplines to make data centers more reliable, and provide a single view of IT, facilities and energy management across the data center.

It covers building, power, asset, load and maintenance management as well as server optimization, change and energy management as well as provide information on the history of the enterprise and providing functions for remote monitoring.

ABB called Decathlon a Data Center Enterprise Management (DCEM) solution and ABB Control Technologies product manager for data centers Eric Olsen said by using the suite, companies can realize energy savings of between 10 and 50%.

“By providing intelligent access to vital operating systems, Decathlon helps to ensure reliable operation, availability and security of data centers while proactively managing energy use for the most efficient and cost-effective operation possible,” Olson said.

He said the suite can be scaled for use of just one, up to 100 data centers and the suite aligns with the DCIM Maturity Model.

“This enables customers to start with Decathlon as an information gathering and monitoring tool alongside their existing platforms, and later expand and upgrade to a full DCEM as needed,” Olson said.
