Challenges
Your data centres are becoming stressed by increased capacity requirements and higher density IT equipment. You have to ensure your data centre's reliability, report efficiency, scale or reconfigure capacity quickly, while at the same time mastering corporate profitability negatively affected by very high cooling bills.
Our solutions
Schneider Electric experts deliver integrated Data Centre solutions with high reliability, agility, and low total cost of ownership, from the rack to row, to room to building. In addition to providing 99.9% through 99.999% availability with redundant solutions that reduce human error and mean-time-to-recover, our scalable, modular architecture lowers design, build, and deployment time by up to 80% and can reduce initial cost by up to 60%. Our innovative InRow cooling with air containment is efficient with the potential to lower cooling bills down to 50%.

Main drivers
Support the Latest IT Technology
- Higher density servers, storage and networking are stressing legacy data centre cooling and power architectures
*45% of data centres are more than 10 years old - Virtualisation has added new challenges to availability and efficiency
Simplification
- Centralisation and consolidation from multiple smaller data centres to fewer, larger data centres
- Desire to rationalise relationships with vendors (solutions and service)
- Move towards higher levels of project management - even turnkey
- Software management that includes energy management and spans the domains of IT Floor, Cooling, Security and Building Power
Speed to Market
- Greatly reduce design and build cycle time
- Supports today's as well as tomorrow's IT technology
Going "Green"
- Energy management software to improve efficiency
- Improved cooling efficiency architectures
- Highest efficiency components designed into a maximum efficiency DCPI solution
- Meet regulatory and compliance standards

Integrated Solution focus delivers:
- Higher Availability : reduces human error, reduces the mean-time-to-recover, and delivers the ability to provide predictable performance in high density environments.
- Better Agility : utilises standardised components that are quickly configured, sourced, and installed as a solution. Modularity allows the solution to be scaled (up or down) quickly.
- Lower TCO : with modular components allowing for a pay-as-you-grow model lowering capital costs. Opex costs are reduced by designs and equipment that are optimised for electrical efficiency and by integrated software and control systems.
- Best Management Integration : Schneider Electric is the only DCPI company offering total comprehensive management - building automation, IT floor, power quality.
Schneider Electric dramatically simplifies the process of designing, deploying and operating the world's most predictable, dense and efficient data centres.
