Ian Dela Rosa, Schneider<\/em><\/strong>
Electric\u2019s Country Sales Manager for APC in the Philippines<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

Data center energy efficiency is of utmost importance in realizing business profitability, effectiveness and efficiency. This was the essence of Schneider Electric\u2019s Country Sales Manager for APC in the Philippines, Ian Dela Rosa\u2019s presentation during the company\u2019s last installment of Xperience Efficiency 2013 Manila roadshow held in Shangri-La EDSA.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dela Rosa discussed energy challenges and introduced methods or solutions on how to protect and enable businesses throughout the data center life cycle. By leveraging these services, users can respond quickly to their IT complexities and business challenges as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cKnowing your business\u2019 energy consumption and matching it with the right solution can make a big difference on how we do business,\u201d said Dela Rosa. \u201cNot only can businesses save on energy cost, but more importantly, increase productivity of the human resource. We provide solutions that bridges facilities and IT in one integrated product set allowing IT managers to access, troubleshoot and control multiple assets with ease and peace of mind.\u201d<\/p>\n

As a specialist in energy management, Schneider Electric offers integrated solutions across multiple market segments, including utilities and infrastructure, industries and machines manufacturers, non-residential building, residential, data centers and networks, that focuses on making energy safe, reliable, efficient, productive and green.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe deliver efficient solutions by making sure our wide range of Data Center Physical Infrastructure (DCPI) are matched with Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM). That is, solutions that are fast to deploy and scalable to fit the needed power and cooling based on desired service level,\u201d adds Dela Rosa, referring to the company\u2019s standard EcoStruxure solution architecture.<\/p>\n

EcoStruxure is an integrated solution that addresses the need to reduce energy consumption and protect investments through intelligent integration of building systems on a single IP platform. These solutions deliver up to 30% energy savings for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) by combining energy-intensive systems like HVAC, access control, video security management, and lighting control across the entire enterprise.<\/p>\n

For businesses in expansion mode, Schneider Electric has long-term solutions that give end-to-end visibility of facilities and allowing them to save up to 20% on capital expenditures (CAPEX). These solutions provide full system visibility while supporting concrete energy and operational improvements.<\/p>\n

In terms of solutions, Dela Rosa noted that the starting point is the capability, followed by power monitoring, pooling monitoring, energy sustainability, project management, and even the IT infrastructure as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe picture behind this is the typical data center space where it includes the upspring in making sure that it is powered up, and all the different data center solutions around, so it\u2019s a suite of modular, integrated data center software tools that enables effective data center management,\u201d said Dela Rosa.<\/p>\n

According to Dela Rosa, the functions of these tools include energy sustainability, business process and actual control, where all of these deliver different capabilities that will empower endusers.<\/p>\n

Dela Rosa added that Schneider Electric believes that innovation or the contribution in terms of research and development is one of the keys in allowing the company to come up with different product set, solutions and services to its end-market.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Dela Rosa claimed that dynamic power variation affects data center in the way it is being demanded. \u201cIn BPOs, which function at night, the demand is higher. During daytime, it\u2019s lower. For other companies like banks, services, manufacturing firms, it\u2019s the other way around,\u201d explains Dela Rosa. \u201cThe other factors that affect data center are regulatory requirements and energy efficiency,\u201d according to Dela Rosa.<\/p>\n

Regarding solution migration, Jean-Francois de Sousa, VP for IT Business at Schneider Electric (Phils.), Inc., claimed that there are no risks involved when a user decides to migrate from the traditional or non-Schneider Electric solutions to SE solutions.<\/p>\n

Xperience Efficiency 2013 kicked-off in June in Washington DC, with events in France, United States, China, Colombia, Brazil, Russia and in East Asia, including the Philippines, to collaborate and share knowledge with customers, partners, industry leaders and governments on how to solve today\u2019s energy and sustainability challenges.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
