Is DCO capable of monitoring UPS, CRAC and PDU.

I see that we can include these items in the graphic but is it possible to look at the live values from all aspects of the device. ie. amps, volts, readings or is it more of a cooling and network planning tool?

Hi Jeffrey,

Data Center Operation is a planning tool. If you want to look at live values from devices should you look at the monitoring tool Data Center Expert.

You can read more about Data Center Expert here:

There is also a free trial version you can try. You will find it on the same page.

Thanks

Thank you Jesper. We have DCE but I want it to be visible on a floor plan like DCO. I have been in many data centers where they have used Schneider specific software to monitor live data. The graphic is more like DCO but the data is similar to whats in DCE. Is this a different product or is it a custom application.

Hi Jeffrey, DCO can show floorplan, but it is a planning tool not a monitoring tool. This means that you will not see live data in the tool. You are still able to see measurements from DCE, but most of the data points will be peak and average measurements which are useful when doing planning in a data center. But you will see alarms from DCE in the floorlayout. You can read more about alarms in DCO here: Viewing Alarms From External Systems There is also a possibility to launch to a device web interface from inside the DCO client. Thanks Jesper

Hi Jeffrey

Perhaps you're referring to Associating Live Data from an External System to the Layout, bringing live DCE data into DCO + DCO:Capacity?
