Schneider Launches New Cooling Intelligence for its Data Centre Infrastructure Management Software

Schneider Cooling Optimize

 

Schneider Electric has announced the launch of Data Centre Operation: Cooling Optimize, an additional software module available within its Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) suite StruxureWare for Data Centers. This new capability adds intelligence to existing data centre cooling systems, enabling significant energy reduction and cost of operations, as well as reduced risk of cooling incidents.

“Most data centre cooling systems are specified to ensure that the hottest racks in the facility have a sufficient cold air supply. This results in a large amount of energy being wasted as the entire facility is over-cooled to provide this legacy design capacity,” said Soeren Brogaard Jensen, Vice President, Enterprise Software and Managed Services, Schneider Electric. “For the managers of these data centres, it is impossible to consider how to reduce the amount of cooling without introducing risk of thermal shutdowns because they lack the information to do so safely.”

Once deployed, Cooling Optimize enables operators to monitor the real-time status of data centre health and determine the impact of any cooling event. This also enables situations such as overheating, hotspots and capacity issues to be predicted and avoided. By continuously analyzing use, future capacity requirements can be planned for, and stranded cooling capacity eliminated. Data Center Operation: Cooling Optimize automates a response to changes in the data centre environment to reduce hot spots — where load requirement exceeds cooling, and wasted energy — where cooling exceeds what is actually needed.
