APC by Schneider Electric, a global leader in integrated critical power and cooling services, has formed a new specialised Data Centre Software business to focus and drive a leadership position across all aspects of the data centre environment.

The Data Centre Software business will be responsible for advancing all software and management systems for the data centre physical infrastructure. The team will have direct accountability for software development, offer creation, sales, service, marketing and partner programmes.

Said Laurent Vernerey, President and CEO of APC, "This evolution within APC is well aligned with the Schneider Electric vision of becoming the world leader in energy management."

The Data Centre Software business will be a key contributor to Schneider Electric's Ecostruxure architecture, and a strong supporter of Schneider Electric's energy management initiatives. APC's InfraStruxure management software portfolio, a critical element of Ecostruxure, will be the focus of this team.

The APC InfraStruxure management software portfolio helps companies improve energy and cost efficiencies, and supports short- and long-term planning, forecasting and budgeting. With this portfolio data centre managers and IT executives have the ability to take a holistic view of data centre physical infrastructure service quality, end-to-end energy use, and the various costs associated with it.

The vendor-neutral software provides the industry's first and broadest integrations with critical IT support systems, including power management, building management and enterprise management, enabling the monitoring, controlling and resolving of issues in a user-friendly environment.
