Story

The Trust needed a better system for monitoring key distributed infrastructure such as UPS systems, cooling and power distribution, and it engaged Advanced Power to assist with the task.

Solution

APT recommended the installation of EcoStruxure IT Expert, Schneider Electric’s next-generation data centre infrastructure management (DCIM) software to monitor and manage their distributed IT estate. This vendor neutral platform interrogates the internal monitoring systems of connected assets to provide information on a single pane of glass.

Results

EcoStruxure IT Expert highlights any areas of weakness in BW&CH’s IT back up and power distribution systems allowing the hospital to act before previsions are required. This solution reduces disruption to NHS services.
