The Data Center Science Center makes the system architecture simple to understand with a new FAQ app note<\/em><\/p>\n

SO…EcoStruxure is Schneider Electric\u2019s name for our IoT-enabled, open, and interoperable system architecture.\u00a0 A system architecture is a conceptual model that defines the structure and behaviour of a system.\u00a0 In the case of EcoStruxure, the system is comprised of 3 levels: connected products, edge control software, and cloud-based apps\/analytics\/services. It takes great advantage of IoT, cloud, and Big Data analytics technologies to bring unprecedented insight into data center operations. The EcoStruxure architecture maximizes the value of data to deliver improved safety, reliability, efficiency, and sustainability for our customers and their data centers.<\/p>\n

It sounds wonderful, but, what does all that mean in reality?\u00a0 How is that value achieved through the architecture?\u00a0 And what the heck is \u201cedge control software\u201d??\u00a0 There\u2019s been a lot of press coverage and promotion over our exciting new approach to solving customer problems, but there\u2019s a need to provide more detail and clarity.\u00a0 That\u2019s where the Science Center comes in.<\/p>\n

I work in the Data Center Science Center as a Sr. Research Analyst.\u00a0 Our unique team is part of the Office of the CTO. We\u2019re tasked with researching and analyzing technologies to develop best practices on how to plan, design, build and operate data centers. We avoid talking about products and focus instead on the underlying technologies and systems and how best to apply them.\u00a0 Using the scientific method and quantitative analysis we strive to solve real customer challenges or help them make better decisions more quickly.\u00a0 We make all our research available to the public through our white papers<\/a>, TradeOff Tools<\/a>, and Reference Designs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Internally, we are often called on to independently evaluate new product ideas and competing designs while measuring their impact on the overall system.\u00a0 We act as sort of a neutral party to help decide the best path forward between competing engineering teams.\u00a0 It was in this vein that we became involved with EcoStruxure for Data Centers. Part of this work involved our team writing an FAQ<\/a> that clearly defined what it is, what it isn\u2019t, how it helps customers, and so on. Taking a complex topic and making it simple to understand is a strength of our team.\u00a0 I encourage you to check it out.\u00a0 I firmly believe that the most effective data center operations and maintenance programs in the future will be those that embrace or better utilize the cloud, big data analytics, and digital services.\u00a0 It just makes sense to me. Does it for you, too?<\/p>\n
