Siemens unveils DCIM Solution product

Two of Siemens' powerhouse features merged.

According to a release, Siemens launches a new Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) Solution, Datacenter Clarity LC™ which bridges the gap between IT and facility management, allowing for smarter decision making and optimized efficiencies using proven technologies.

This exciting solution is Siemens’ first offering in the DCIM space and an important milestone for its increased focus into the broader data center arena. The growing need to efficiently house data in a secure, reliable and resilient environment leverages Siemens’ core areas of expertise.

“Singapore has emerged as a hub for datacenters and information management facilities, and its momentum shows no sign of stopping,” comments Peter Halliday, Head of Siemens Building Technologies Division for ASEAN.

“To meet the market’s demand, we provide the most comprehensive solutions portfolio for datacenters, ranging from power distribution, building automation, fire safety and security, to energy management. With Datacenter Clarity LC, we raised the bar for what could be offered to datacenters.”

With Datacenter Clarity LC, Siemens has merged two of its proven powerhouse strengths: Siemens’ renowned integration and management capabilities across an entire portfolio of technologies within an enterprise, and a complete datacenter-specific software suite built upon Siemens Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) software.

The Siemens PLM software has more than seven million licensees deployed globally, many in mission critical industries. For example, NASA used the software to digitally design, simulate, analyze and assemble the entire Mars Rover Curiosity, contributing to a successful landing on Mars this past August.

Datacenter Clarity LC was received very positively by attendees when recently previewed at the 2012 Gartner Data Center Conference in December.

“We’re able to come in with a complete, proven, scalable platform based on proven technologies already being used in the field,” explained John Kovach, the Siemens Global Head for Data Centers.

“And when you consider our global depth and expertise, you’ll see that Siemens is one of the few companies with the technical capability to successfully execute in any datacenter environment – almost anywhere in the world.”
