“DCIM (Data Center Infrastructure Management) solution is a key element that supports AI and data-based strategic decision-making.”

Schneider Electric emphasized the importance of data center infrastructure management (DCIM) with the advent of the AI era.

In a situation where data creation and utilization are increasing explosively, securing data center management capabilities that can safely store and quickly process massive amounts of data is emerging as a key element of competitiveness for companies.

As AI technology advances and IoT devices proliferate, corporate data center environments become more complex, and the need for enhanced security is also increasing.

In fact, the average global cost of a data breach in 2023 is projected to reach $4.45 million, and the cost of cybercrime is expected to reach $10.5 trillion by 2025.

Amidst this, DCIM (Data Center Infrastructure Management) solutions that comprehensively monitor and optimize all infrastructure components within a data center are emerging as a key element that supports AI and data-based strategic decision-making.

DCIM solution integrates and manages various facility equipment such as servers, network equipment, racks, temperature and humidity control units, UPS, and PDUs to manage data.Efficiently manages IT infrastructure, including energy consumption, asset movement, failures, and security, that occur while operating the center.

Schneider Electric provides companies with the optimal solution through its DCIM solution called 'EcoStruxure IT'.

EcoStruxure IT is a cloud-based digital platform that monitors your data center infrastructure in real time, provides visibility into the health of your IT assets through flexible dashboards and advanced analytics, and helps you maximize operational efficiency.

Additionally, AI-based predictive analysis capabilities help protect data from cyber threats by enabling proactive detection and response to potential problems.

EcoStruxure IT provides easy integration and a user-friendly interface to help enterprises seamlessly connect with existing IT management tools and increase visibility into their IT infrastructure.

This allows the company's IT team to focus on more strategic tasks, while ensuring business continuity through secure data management.

“Schneider Electric actively encourages the introduction and utilization of DCIM solutions so that companies can protect their critical infrastructure and maintain competitiveness in the changing cybersecurity environment of the AI era,” said Kevin Brown, Vice President, EcoStruxure IT, Global Secure Power Business, Schneider Electric. “By introducing the latest DCIM solutions, companies can proactively prevent security threats that may arise in the changing technology environment and improve the efficiency of data management and operations.”

“Innovative DCIM solutions like these are becoming essential for enterprises to gain a competitive edge in an AI- and data-driven environment,” he continued.o; and added, “Going forward, Schneider Electric plans to focus on strengthening the security and operational efficiency of data center infrastructure through continuous research and development.”
