The Challenge
• Bainbridge Island School District faced the challenge of monitoring a complex network: A central data centre and 40 data closets for 9 schools and 11 facilities• Frequent storms caused power flickers that resulted in a flood of emails, making it "hard to know what's up and what's down"
• Monitoring and response efforts were further complicated by limited resources
The Solution
Connectivity and efficiency with EcoStruxure™Apps, Analytics & Services: Remote service
Edge control: Mobile insights app and data centre infrastructure management software
Connected Products:UPS, racks, and PDUs
• Schneider Electric products and cloud-based software and services work seamlessly to keep staff connected and provide remote visibility of the entire network, from anywhere and at any time.
•An app-enabled, 24/7 cloud-based monitoring and troubleshooting service reduces mean time to repair and provides peace of mind.
The Results
• EcoStruxure IT offers comprehensive visibility of a complex hybrid IT environment. With constant remote monitoring, troubleshooting, and data-driven insights, the staff has visibility and access to actionable information delivered right to their smartphones.• Enhanced peace of mind for IT and administrative staff knowing that Schneider Electric Service Bureau experts were acting as an extra set of eyes and monitoring the data centre on a 24/7 basis.
• With the Schneider Electric service bureau – empowered with real-time data – it has all the information it needs to begin troubleshooting immediately and dispatch if required, ultimately reducing mean time to repair.
• "Off hours" monitoring and troubleshooting work was reduced to minutes instead of hours.
Life made easier
"All of this makes life much easier for me on and off hours. It helps to keep me less tethered to my office. When we are hit by a storm, I only need to spend a minute on my phone and no longer need to set up a laptop, and fight for remote access to the network. That gives me more time to spend with my own family."
