What happened: Schneider launches EcoConsult to modernise data centre operations
Schneider Electric has rolled out EcoConsult for Data Centers, a consulting service designed to help data centre and IT professionals enhance operational efficiency. The new service delivers in-depth performance evaluations and provides tailored recommendations to reduce downtime, extend infrastructure lifespan, and lower total cost of ownership.
According to the company, EcoConsult is particularly aimed at facilities struggling with outdated infrastructure or increasing workloads. By identifying system inefficiencies and operational risks, it equips data centre operators with actionable insights to modernise and maintain their environments more effectively. Schneider also highlights the service’s role in supporting continuous availability—an increasingly critical requirement in today’s always-on digital economy.

Why it’s important
With the rapid expansion of data usage driven by AI, cloud computing and digital transformation, data centres are under growing pressure to deliver more with fewer resources. At the same time, energy costs are rising, and infrastructure in many facilities is ageing. Schneider’s EcoConsult addresses this by offering targeted advice and long-term strategies, enabling operators to maximise existing assets while planning for future upgrades.
The launch also reinforces Schneider Electric’s broader push into lifecycle services, building on its EcoStruxure platform and digital automation tools. Rather than focusing solely on products, the company is shifting towards providing strategic support that aligns with both performance and sustainability goals. As regulatory pressure around carbon emissions grows and uptime becomes non-negotiable, EcoConsult arrives as a timely solution for navigating the evolving data centre landscape.
