Description: EcoStruxure Information Technology (IT) Data Center Expert is part of the StruxureWare for Data Centers suite of Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) software applications which collect, manage, and analyze data about a data center`s assets, resource use and operational status throughout the data center lifecycle.

StruxureWare Data Center Operation provides vendor-agnostic inventory management with real-time device failures and recommendations on how to resolve issues. A location-based, drill-down view provides status from a global to local view of single assets. Data Center Operation forms the base layer of software, available either as an enterprise or a colocation base module, onto which other modules and enhancement options can be added.

This entry covers the Desktop Edition of this technology and not any mobile versions. Please note that the implementation of mobile technology applications that operate on Mobile Operating Systems must be reviewed and authorized by the Mobile Technology and Endpoint Security Engineering Team: https://dvagov.sharepoint.com/sites/OITMT/SitePages/MTHome.aspx

The TRM decisions in this entry only apply to technologies and versions owned, operated, managed, patched, and version-controlled by VA. This includes technologies deployed as software installations on VMs within VA-controlled cloud environments (e.g., VA Enterprise Cloud (VAEC)). Cloud services provided by the VAEC, which are listed in the VAEC Service Catalog, and those controlled and managed by an external Cloud Service Provider (i.e., SaaS) are not in the purview of the TRM. For more information on the use of cloud services and cloud-based products within VA, including VA private clouds, please see the Enterprise Cloud Solutions Office (ECSO) Portal at: https://dvagov.sharepoint.com/sites/OITECSO
