As the IT landscape evolves with more and more services being outsourced to the cloud, the equipment and applications being kept on-premise have become increasingly important and are frequently business critical. Schneider Electric's Micro Data Centre solutions enable the on-premise element of hybrid and edge data centre architecture to be deployed securely and scalably in any environment.
Schneider Electric's Micro Data Centre solutions allows data intensive, as well as latency and bandwidth-sensitive edge computing loads, to be deployed securely using the same standardised physical infrastructure found in some of the world's largest and most complex data centres. The Micro data centre solutions can be customised to fit specific space constraints, and also built to withstand the specific environmental considerations of individual end-user applications.
Schneider Electric's portfolio of single rack micro data centre solutions enable the rapid and cost-effective deployment of secure IT infrastructure to any location, unhindered by challenges of distance, space constraint or environment. They are available in a variety of standardised formats, all pre-configured and pre-tested in a factory environment. The solutions are complete with integrated power; uninterruptible power supply (UPS), power distribution, management software (DCIM), cooling, security and fire suppression.
