Schneider Electric named as leader in DCIM market

Schneider Electric has been named a Leader in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Datacenter Infrastructure Management (DCIM) 2013 Vendor Analysis for the second year in a row. The report, which details the current status and definition of the DCIM market, as well as a comparison of a wide range of DCIM vendors, identified Schneider Electric as a leader for its StruxureWare for Data Centers suite.

The IDC MarketScape details efforts within the DCIM market to identify an appropriate definition of DCIM, as the market evolves and several vendors maintain strong growth and an ongoing effort to define their brand offering through full-scale solutions. Schneider Electric has been identified as a vendor most likely to be a major player in the DCIM market in the coming years.

“A DCIM provider with a global footprint, long history in the industry, and strong financial backing is often preferred by DCIM purchase decision makers. Schneider Electric has these qualities and is already present in many of the world's enterprises with its power solutions and global support services team,” the IDC MarketScape stated.

“Having IDC name Schneider Electric a Leader in DCIM again is a remarkable achievement and confirms the strength of our strategy and vision for StruxureWare for Data Centers,” said Soeren Brogaard Jensen, Vice President, Solution Software, Schneider Electric.

“Our customers have consistently benefitted from the StruxureWare solution to solve their capacity problems over the past three years and we will continue to develop and innovate this market-leading DCIM solution to help customers bridge the gap between Facilities and IT, and operate their data center as a business.”
