StruxureWare Data Center Operation: Cluster Node


For high availability and disaster recovery

StruxureWare Data
Center Operation:
Cluster Node
Provides a back-up node for resuming
operation in the event of a disaster with
the option to host DCIM software
elsewhere.

A DCIM enhancement option


The Cluster Node enables you to run
StruxureWare Data Center Operation in a
clustered environment with multiple
servers, leading to improved performance.
For improved data security, you can add an
offsite disaster recovery node.

Disaster recovery
You can configure an up-to-date backup
recovery server in a remote location for
resuming operation in the event of a
disaster.
You can add a disaster recovery node to a
clustered environment or to a stand-alone
StruxureWare Data Center Operation
server. However, disaster recovery
requires a Cluster node for high availability
and disaster recovery license.
PostgresSQL streaming replication is used
to move data to the disaster recovery node.
The connection between the StruxureWare
Data Center Operation server or cluster
and the disaster recovery node must be
stable and quick enough to transfer a full
backup.

StruxureWare Data
Center Operation Client

Cluster setup
When running StruxureWare Data Center
Operation in a clustered environment, each
node in the cluster (besides the initial
StruxureWare Data Center Operation
server) requires a Cluster node for high
availability and disaster recovery license,
ie. a cluster setup with 3 servers requires:
> 1 x StruxureWare Data Center Operation
license
> 2 x Cluster node for high availability and
disaster recovery licenses
Running StruxureWare Data Center
Operation in a clustered environment
requires low network latency. Therefore, it
is generally recommended to have the
clustered servers installed on the same
data center site/subnet. All nodes in the
cluster setup must have a static IP address.
If your setup includes a disaster recovery
node, you can have a firewall between the
cluster and the disaster recovery node.

Software Data Integration


ETL Integration Services
Software Integration Services
based on our ETL Framework
Schneider Electric has the data
integration services you need to protect
your investment, efficiency, and
availability. Our comprehensive
software services portfolio, which
supports third-party integrations, is
designed to ensure your applications
receive the care they need to operate at
optimal levels.
What is ETL technology?
> ETL is an IT industry acronym for tools
that Extract, Transform and Load
information across systems. Traditionally
ETL tools were used in business
intelligence, but have become the primary
software tool for data integration.
> Schneider Electric has adopted the
Pentaho Kettle ETL tool as part of the
StruxureWare Data Center Operation
integration framework. Schneider Electric
has a dedicated team that is highly
specialized in StruxureWare integrations.
This team will implement the project from
the requirement definition, architecture
design to final delivery.
What ETL can do?
> Importing data from your monitoring
system, synchronizing information with
your asset management solution or
change management software,
StruxureWare Integration Projects will
help you consolidate key data within your
organization.

Despite third party base system connectors


included in the current modular product
technology, many system integrations need
custom adaptations and handcrafted
connectors. Our services provide a solid
integration project methodology.
> Adapted connectors have been
developed and tested based on existing
integration processes and architecture. The
service tailors the existing project to the
particular situation and specification of the
client.
> We also offer projects for the
development of fully customized
connectors. These projects provide
uncommon integrations that have not been
performed before and will require a
complete design and extensive testing.

Schneider Electric Integration Service:


> Is based on a global team dedicated to
data integration.
> Covers all the data integration with
project lifecycle management.
> Is part of the StruxureWare for Data
Centers suite.
