EcoStruxure IT Data Center Expert

EcoStruxure IT Data Center Expert (DCE) is a scalable, on-premises, vendor-neutral monitoring software that collects, organizes, and distributes critical device information providing a comprehensive view of equipment.

Formerly known as StruxureWare Data Center Expert, EcoStruxure Data Center Expert (DCE) is Schneider Electric’s proven on-premises data center infrastructure management platform — trusted by IT and facilities managers who need comprehensive monitoring and control without reliance on cloud connectivity. DCE allows you to monitor your multi-vendor infrastructure remotely, is fully deployed in your local environment as a virtual machine or physical server appliance and maintains full data sovereignty. 

Monitor power, cooling, security, and environmental systems in real time, detect issues instantly, and respond faster with centralized dashboards, intelligent alerts, and actionable insights – helping reduce risk, prevent downtime, and keep critical facilities resilient and always available.

For organizations where data security policies, network restrictions, or operational preferences make cloud-based monitoring unsuitable, DCE delivers enterprise-grade DCIM capability entirely within your own environment.

What EcoStruxure Data Center Expert (DCE) Does

DCE continuously monitors your data center infrastructure, collecting data from UPS units, PDUs, cooling systems, and environmental sensors across your estate. Intelligent alerting notifies your team of developing issues before they escalate, while detailed historical reporting supports both operational decision-making and compliance requirements.

The platform integrates with a broad range of Schneider Electric hardware as well as third-party devices via SNMP and other standard protocols — giving you a unified view regardless of the mix of equipment in your environment.
