Schneider Electric has introduced EcoConsult for Data Centers, a tailored consulting service aimed at helping facility and IT managers improve uptime, reduce total cost of ownership, and extend the lifecycle of critical assets.
Designed to help address rising demands on data center infrastructure, the service offers a comprehensive evaluation of power distribution, server room assets, and cooling systems that results in an actionable plan that helps to identify inefficiencies and risks while supporting long-term infrastructure optimization. This reflects the growing demand in the industry for structured modernization strategies that move beyond reactive maintenance, especially as operators face aging infrastructure and rising energy demands.
Key focus areas of EcoConsult for Data Centers include:
Assessment of Existing Infrastructure: Power distribution, IT/server rooms, and cooling systems.
Identification of inefficiencies and risks with recommendations for modernization.
Improvement of uptime and reliability across critical systems.
Support for long-term sustainability and cost control goals.
The service draws on Schneider Electric’s global consulting and support infrastructure, using digital tools and standardized methodologies to assess areas, such as power system design, cooling performance, and cybersecurity.
Schneider Electric estimates that 36 percent of US data centers are more than ten years old and many lack a proactive, facility-wide asset management strategy. For such sites, EcoConsult offers solutions that can help result in better data center reliability, lower long-term costs, and a plan for future growth and technology integration.
