Scalable and adaptable architecture
APC has established a reputation over the years for solid products that virtually pay for themselves on installation and make it easy for you to focus on business growth instead of worrying about business downtime.
APC InfraStruxure™ is the scalable and adaptable data center IT room architecture that dramatically reduces time and complexity from concept and design through installation.
Power, cooling, racks, security and management components are conceived and tested as part of an integrated system which is evident in the aesthetics, functionality and ease of management software integration.
Taking a broad system view enables full realisation of the benefits of going fast, going dense and going green while ensuring your critical availability targets are met.
An open system, InfraStruxure™ is the proven "on demand" architecture for data center IT rooms small and large, delivering high availability and real energy savings whether deployed on its own, in a zone, or in incremental steps.
The new generation of InfraStruxure™ delivers:
- Higher performance - 25 percent increase in power and cooling capacity, 15 percent smaller footprint
- More scalability - as big as you want to go
- Faster and easier planning through operations - automated planning and design tools with open and integrated management and operations software
- More innovation and leadership - from the worlds leader in data center physical infrastructure all while reducing cost!
Data Centre Infrastructure Management (DCIM)
Organisations struggling with the complexities of availability, server consolidation, virtualisation and energy management are increasingly looking for more intelligent physical infrastructure management systems.
APC brings customers proactive data centre management through integrated software applications sharing a centralised database, enabling design, real-time monitoring, inventory management and planning through predictive simulation.
InfraStruxure Management Software’s end-to-end management approach allows data centres to run more smoothly on a daily basis, and its built-in business tools for short- and long-term planning and budgeting help keep capital and operational costs and energy use inline.
Monitor
StruxureWare Central
A vendor-neutral, scalable monitoring system which collects, organizes, and distributes critical alerts, surveillance video and key information, providing a unified view of complex physical infrastructure environments from anywhere on the network.
Centralised management of critical physical infrastructure
StruxureWare Central provides an efficient way for organisations to monitor their company-wide multi-vendor physical infrastructure: power, cooling, security, and environment. Real-time monitoring, user-defined reports and graphs, and instant fault notification and escalation enable quick assessment and resolution of critical infrastucture events that can adversely affect IT system availability. This centralised respository of critical information can be accessed by multiple users from anywhere on the network, creating a consolidated view of the physical infrastructure. This open and flexible architecture expands with changing business needs through additional device licenses, add-on surveillance, capacity management and change management modules, and through integration with enterprise and building management systems.
Operate
StruxureWare™ Operations 7.0 Software Platform
End to end Data Centre Infrastructure Management (DCIM) software for monitoring, control of power, cooling, security and energy usage from the building through IT systems.
