Sep 27, 2023 | Posted by Abdul-Rahman Oladimeji
Electrical and industrial power management software provider Eaton has launched a new data center management platform, the Brightlayer DC suite.
Mike Jackson, the global director of product, data center, and distributed IT software at Eaton, explained that this suite functions as a portfolio of digital solutions to expedite digital transformation. This suite integrates asset management, IT, operational technology device monitoring, power quality metrics, and advanced electrical supervision in a native application.
“We’ve effectively combined the functionality of three point solutions – data center infrastructure management (DCIM) and electrical power monitoring system (EPMS) software, along with software for monitoring, managing, controlling, and automating IT assets at edge locations –into a single digital platform that is scalable based on needs,” Jackson explained.
“Point solutions are no longer sufficient to provide data center operators the visibility they need into their increasingly complex ecosystem of IT and OT assets,” Jackson added, further emphasizing the importance of the new Brightlayer data center suite.
