Currents BUSINESS EDITION Editor’s Note
Now, a new way to simplify data center management

Timely access to data is a must for those tasked with data center resource optimization, energy management, and operational efficiency. Now, access to all of the data and tools you need just got easier with the Schneider Electric™
StruxureWare™ for Data Centers software suite. Enabling relevant information
sharing and user-to-user collaboration, StruxureWare integrated architectures provide data center professionals with complete visibility across the data center from one dashboard. That means less stress managing your data center!
