“Schneider Electric is leading the transformation of data centres through the innovation within its EcoStruxure™ architecture,” said Marc Garner Vice President, Secure Power, Schneider Electric UK&I. “Being shortlisted as a finalist in so many categories reflects not only the depth of quality built into our product offerings, but the breadth of applications they address. For businesses striving to meet the challenges of the digital transformation via resilient, high-performance data centres of any size and at any location, Schneider Electric’s solutions are an essential building block. Our presence as finalists in the prestigious Network Computing Awards vindicates that standing.”
APC by Schneider Electric™ Smart-UPS with Lithium Ion is a single-phase UPS that fulfills the need for greater resilience, simplified maintenance and lower cost of ownership. Its longer battery life, built-in smart management systems and smaller size make it particularly suitable for applications serving the Internet of Things (IoT) and Edge Computing.
Li-ion battery technology enables rapid deployment of UPS systems with a smaller physical footprint. They can withstand many more charge/discharge cycles and have a longer operating life than traditional lead-acid battery alternatives. As a consequence, they require lower maintenance, with batteries needing less frequent replacement, which reduces the total cost of ownership (TCO).
Schneider Electric EcoStruxure IT and EcoStruxure IT Expert™ for Partners are the industry’s first vendor-neutral, Data Centre Management as a Service (DMaaS) architectures. They provide global visibility from anywhere at any time on any connected device and deliver data-driven insights into critical IT assets, allowing customers to mitigate risks and reduce downtime.
EcoStruxure IT Expert provides a secure foundation for Channel Partners and IT Solution Providers to deliver additional value and drive new service revenues. The software presents a key opportunity to strengthen customer relationships by delivering insight into the functioning and efficiency of compute facilities, while offering higher availability and potentially lowered service costs as new capabilities are added through the software and connected applications.
As part of Schneider Electric’s EcoStruxure architecture, EcoStruxure IT operates on all IoT-enabled physical infrastructure assets like secure power and cooling — including the new Smart-UPS with APC SmartConnect, a cloud-enabled UPS, designed to be fast and cost-effective for deployment in small, distributed environments and compatible with popular industry Remote Monitoring and Management platforms.
EcoStruxure leverages advancements in IoT, mobility, sensing, cloud and cybersecurity to deliver innovation at every level. This includes connected products, edge control, apps, analytics, and services.
