Data centre sponsor

by Mark Rowe

The multi-national Siemens is sponsoring the Data Centre World Conference, on March 11 and 12, 2015 at ExCeL London.

Siemens’ data centre products include; data centre infrastructure management (DCIM), building management, automation and control, security, fire safety and power solutions. Siemens will be speak on:

•The Balancing Act between Reliable and Efficient Data Centre Operations
•Totally Integrated Power for Data Centres
•Moving from DCIM to DC Lifecycle Infrastructure Management and Process Automation

Siemens Building Technologies recently introduced the latest version of Datacenter Clarity LC, software that enables data centre owners and managers to monitor and manage their data centre infrastructure.

The software combines information from vital subsystems that traditionally operate in isolation to form a single solution, the developers say, monitoring energy and building management, physical security, fire safety, power and communications, zones and raised floors, racks, servers and data storage systems, as well as switches and routers. According to the product firm, it bridges the gap between IT and facilities processes, enabling both parties to manage assets and workflows.

The company says that the data centre market is increasingly demanding technology that will assess critical situations, distribute information, co-ordinate workflows, maximise uptime and manage resources.

The software delivers real-time energy management in server rooms due to its ability to harness Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis technology, with real-time environmental monitoring. Datacenter Clarity LC continuously monitors the air temperature in server rooms and instantly identifies any potential problem areas, such as hot spots. Datacenter Clarity LC also provides predictive capabilities in a virtual 3D data centre model, before any equipment is actually purchased.

Philippe Heim, Portfolio Manager DCIM for Siemens’ data centre team says: “Datacenter Clarity LC now includes a browser-based 3D application, providing an intuitive and portable solution that facilitates deployment, usage and accessibility with no local footprint. This new web client interface is cross-browser and cross-device compatible to include tablets for maximum convenience and ease of use.”

Datacenter Clarity LC is based on Siemens’ Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) software, which has a 20-year pedigree. Operating in critical environments across the globe, over nine million PLM licenses have been issued, including NASA who used the software to digitally design, simulate, analyse and assemble the entire Mars Rover Curiosity prior to its landing on Mars.
