“The growing complexity and diversity of critical
data centre environments coupled with reduced
budget and staff have led to a management
challenge for data centre professionals. The first
step in overcoming this challenge is through a
cloud-first management strategy. EcoStruxure IT
provides global access and insights to data centre
environments from anywhere, at any time on any
device,” said Schneider Electric Executive Vice
President, IT Division, Dave Johnson. “Bringing
this level of visibility and access to our customers
will enable them to benchmark their entire
IT ecosystem while providing trend analysis,
intelligent maintenance and more, all the while
reducing risks and increasing efficiency.”
To date, 1,400 customers are connected on
EcoStruxure IT platform, managing 140,000
assets. Every day, 300 million data points are
captured, and EcoStruxure IT modernises how
customer data centres are managed, operated,
and maintained.
Supporting Technopreneurs and
Innovators
To support the innovative and creative industry,
the Innovative, Technology and Creative Industry
Division (ITCID) was established in December
2015. They advocate the development of high
technology and knowledge-based industries in
Brunei through foreign direct investment and
innovation from local businesses.
The government has set up an incubation centre
called iCentre to assist budding technopreneurs
and product innovators. The iCentre provides
working space, capacity building programmes
and startup assistants. In addition, the iCentre
collaborates with local and regional agencies to
provide workshops on starting a business, market
validations, and fundraising.
