Emerson Network Power has launched the Trellis Platform Express Edition, which offers data centre infrastructure management (DCIM) in a streamlined and simplified delivery model, according to the company.

The Trellis platform gives customers a holistic, real-time view of the data centre across facilities and IT resources, said the firm, providing the information needed to improve overall operational efficiency and to plan for the future.

Jennifer Koppy, research manager at IDC, said: "Implementing the right DCIM solution is a critical process that can have long-term, strategic impact on an organisation, but it is a daunting task for most IT organisations, and many have delayed purchases because of the complexity of the process.

"By removing complexity, Emerson is streamlining the path for IT organisations to benefit from enhanced visibility, increased efficiency and better capacity planning."
