The global specialist in energy managemen t, Schneider Electric, has introduced power and cooling solutions for data centres.
The Senior Systems Engineer, Schneider Electric, Mr. Ossy Anyabuike, said on Friday that the new modular units enabled data centre power and cooling capacity to be added in 500kW increments, allowing physical infrastructure to be right-sized to the IT load and eliminating a major cause of inefficiency and wasted energy.
With leading power and cooling product brands including APC and Uniflair in its portfolio, he said Schneider Electric was uniquely positioned as an end-to-end solutions provider to address the need for fast, flexible, easy and predictable data centre solutions.
The new facility modules, according to him, simplify the process of data centre construction, removing unnecessary complexity as well as saving time, money and other resources involved in field construction and integration.
Anyabuike, said, “Facility modules are a step towards the commoditisation of data centre physical infrastructure. Instead of waiting months, customers can expect to deploy additional capacity within weeks. Because Schneider Electric pre-engineer, configure and test facility modules prior to delivery ensuring reliability and efficiency, site installation is also made simpler and speedier, reducing associated costs and the risk of human error.”
He stressed that the new integrated systems from Schneider Electric addressed contemporary data centre challenges with solutions that are fast and flexible.
