Schneider Electric has announced the launch of its new white paper app for Apple iOS (iPhone, iTouch, iPad) and Android-supported tablets and devices. The app will give users free, mobile access to Schneider Electric’s 150+ white paper library built from $90 million of research, the popularity of which garnered close to eight million downloads in 2011. As the next step in the evolution of this expansive knowledge base, the app’s availability comes in conjunction with the release of one of Schneider Electric’s much-anticipated research papers on the newly emerging field of Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM).
The paper, titled “Avoiding Common Pitfalls of Evaluating and Implementing DCIM Solutions,” addresses how to prevent the loss of ROI when choosing, installing, and maintaining DCIM solutions—a technology which has been lauded among IT and data center professionals as the cornerstone to achieving optimal electrical and operational efficiencies, slashing energy costs and reducing time to execute data center changes and resolve problems. However, due to common mistakes made when choosing and implementing DCIM, many managers are under-realizing the value these solutions can deliver.
