2 A Renaissance Moving Toward Solution Excellence Goal: Solve the same problems at the building level, independent of domain Efficiency Availability Performance Safety and Security How: High-level dashboards, mashups, metrics easily understood by humans Energy management requires collaboration between domains Collaboration opens new capabilities for building-level solutions Cannot evolve backwards deep domain expertise still required At Schneider Electric, we are working HERE Integrated BUILDING MANAGEMENT system Security Building comfort Process & machine White space Power Domain excellence + collaboration evolves toward solution excellence

3 Data Centers Have Complex Management Issues Building Automation Lighting controls IT Infrastructure Management Security Video surveillance Servers Energy management Storage Network Access control Applications Computer room air conditioners Environmenta l Conditions Available space in racks UPS Data center power distribution Data center power & cooling capacity management Rack level surveillance SLA Measurement Power Metering

4 Market Trends Power usage #1 issue for most large-company IT execs over the next 2-4 years Physical infrastructure (power, cooling) costs will equal, and then surpass, IT equipment costs Physical infrastructure is becoming more intelligent and living on networks Existing NMS, EMS and BMS packages don t address the supporting physical infrastructure Market conditions are perfect for introducing management tools to effectively manage the physical environment.

5 Overarching Customer Challenges Operations Delayed server deployment Downtime Multiple systems and log-ins Efficiencies High energy use and costs Oversized power and cooling Wasted man hours Planning Stranded capacity Pressures to reduce capital and operating expenses Green IT and regulatory pressures

6 Add a server: More complex than it seems Management challenge: SYSTEM COMPLEXITY WHERE TO PUT NEW SERVER? Insufficient power? Plug into existing power supply? Insufficient rack space? Circuit breaker trip? Insufficient data ports? UPS overloaded Insufficient cooling? Servers overheat Single server availability Reduced backup time Reduced power redundancy Reduced cooling redundancy Availability of many servers Service level agreements Software is more effective than manual methods for managing SYSTEM COMPLEXITY
