Data Networks Webinar - Strengthening Power Infrastructure in Education
2026-04-07 09:00 - 10:00 (America/New_York) | Webinar
Higher Education and K–12 Institutions rely on reliable and secure power systems to support learning, testing, administrative services, and campus operations. Many institutions lack visibility into the health of their UPS infrastructure, which can conceal energy inefficiencies, outdated firmware, and performance risks.
Data Networks and APC/Schneider Electric will demonstrate how the free virtual Power Infrastructure Assessment, powered by EcoStruxure IT Expert, uncovers hidden inefficiencies, identifies configuration and firmware vulnerabilities, evaluates UPS loading, and highlights overall system health before issues affect instruction or campus services. Participants will learn how this assessment supports improved uptime, sustainability initiatives, and long‑term infrastructure planning.

Key Takeaways:

Better visibility into UPS health and performance across distributed IT environments

Insights that help reduce energy consumption and support sustainability goals

Identification of security and firmware vulnerabilities that may impact campus reliability

Guidance for optimizing UPS load and extending equipment life to avoid unnecessary spending

Clear next steps for requesting and using the free Power Infrastructure Assessment through this collaboration
