DC Vision utilises data from EcoStruxure IT and combines it with Augmented Reality ( AR ) to create a comprehensive software solution that helps optimise infrastructure performance and increase operational resilience .

By integrating these technologies and consolidating data from DCIM , IT Service Management ( ITSM ) and Building Management System ( BMS ) technologies within the Digital Twin , data centre operators can gain granular insights into the health and status of their infrastructure , and make informed decisions to increase performance , sustainability and reliability .

Further , by removing conventional IT silos , the Digital Twin allows owners , operators and IT managers to visualise the data centre environment using realtime information and thereby create a comprehensive digital replica which leverages all relevant performance data from the data centre .

Ismar Efendic , Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer , DC Smarter , said : “ We are delighted with the successful collaboration with Schneider Electric . The synergy between EcoStruxure IT Advisor and DC Vision improved efficiencies for data centre operators . Modern data centres are becoming more and more complex , while at the same time the requirements for reliability and sustainability are increasing – and this with an increasing shortage of skilled workers . With DC Vision , we reduce the burden on the IT teams on site and at the same time support a structured and easyto-document way of working ”.

DC Vision , integrated with Schneider Electric EcoStruxure IT Advisor , also provides key opportunities for seamless collaboration between on-site workers and remote technicians . Its Remote Assist feature , for example , makes it possible for experts and colleagues to interact with the platform in real-time , and share a common AR view of their critical environment to support and encourage collective problem-solving alongside the processing of complex tasks – regardless of location .

Schneider Electric ' s Digital Twin technology is an important core of DC Vision ’ s advanced capabilities . With Schneider Electric ' s EcoStruxure IT Advisor solution , a virtual image of the physical data centre can be created , including the necessary database .

The virtual 3D representation allows precise monitoring and analysis of the entire IT infrastructure . Additionally , the integration of AR software provides IT personnel with easy-to-understand realtime status information and actionable , contextual instructions , which help to quickly identify faults and properly handle complex service tasks . �
