How does EcoStruxure IT Expert improve visibility and control?
EcoStruxure IT Expert is built to help you rethink how you monitor and manage distributed IT by centralizing key information and alerts.
Key ways it improves visibility and control include:
- Multi-site remote management: Maintain an overview of your entire physical infrastructure, including lights-out sites, from a single interface.
- Inventory view: Monitor a broad range of Schneider Electric and 3rd-party devices. See device details such as input/output power, load balance, runtime, and more in one place.
- Customizable dashboards: Build dashboards with widgets and graphs that highlight the metrics that matter most to your operations. Dashboards can run in full-screen mode, making them suitable for wall displays in a Network Operations Center.
- EcoStruxure IT app: Stay connected via your smartphone with live data and alerts, so you can check infrastructure status even when you’re away from your desk.
- Alarms and notifications: Receive incident alerts via the mobile app or email, and reduce noise by muting specific or all alarms on a device from one hour up to one week.
Together, these capabilities help you monitor, prioritize, and act on infrastructure issues more efficiently, wherever your team is located.
What assessment and management features are included?
EcoStruxure IT Expert goes beyond basic monitoring to help you reimagine how you assess and maintain critical assets.
Key assessment and management features include:
- Asset Health Assessment: Run health checks on critical assets such as UPS systems and batteries. You receive a health score plus recommended next steps to optimize performance and reduce risk.
- UPS-focused insights: Subscribers gain access to additional UPS assessments, including UPS load analysis, alarm reports, active lifespan alarms, and device security status.
- Security visibility: Identify old firmware, outdated hardware, and vulnerable configurations so you can prioritize remediation.
- Device management at scale: Update firmware on APC devices remotely and deploy configurations to many identical devices without downtime, which is especially useful for distributed environments.
By combining health scoring, detailed assessments, and centralized device management, EcoStruxure IT Expert helps you mitigate risk, extend asset life, and standardize configurations across your IT sites.
