West Kingston, R.I., and Las Vegas — June 4, 2015 — Schneider Electric, a global specialist in energy management, announced at HP Discover that the company is among the first to join the HP Composable Infrastructure Partner Program.
This program, which is limited to third-parties certified to integrate with HP’s Composable Infrastructure API for infrastructure management that is native in HP OneView, will further broaden Schneider Electric’s portfolio of partnerships and alliances. The program will provide Schneider's customers with collaborative data center solutions that enable maximum interoperability, streamline operations, and reduce management costs.
“Schneider Electric’s membership within the HP Composable Infrastructure Partner Program further solidifies our leadership in providing the comprehensive, end-to-end solutions that data center managers need to effectively and efficiently operate their facility,” said Shannon Sbar, vice president, North American Channels and Global Alliances, APC by Schneider Electric. "We are proud to be among the first set of partners in this program and look forward to expanding our collaboration and interoperability between StruxureWare for Data Centers and HP OneView.”
As one of a small number of independent software vendors (ISVs) currently participating in the program, Schneider Electric’s inclusion builds on the existing integration of StruxureWare for Data Center with HP OneView, announced last year. The joint solution, which provides a connector between IT and facilities management, enables holistic, efficient management of IT service delivery, eliminating operational silos between IT and facilities.
It also provides management personnel with visibility into an organization’s server, storage, and networking, as well as service creation. This allows enterprise and colocation service providers greater agility and flexibility in service delivery while providing a more comprehensive view of overall cost-of-ownership for specific services provided.
With this holistic view of the data center, operators can determine the true cost of ownership for services by being able to associate workloads to watts. Through the capabilities this integration provides, data center managers are enabled to make better informed, educated business decisions and operate with greater agility to deliver services quickly, which makes the data center into more of strategic business asset.
