The company said the joint solution utilises Schneider Electric’s 6U Wall Mount EcoStruxure Micro Data Centre, StorMagic SvSAN software and HPE ProLiant Servers, to deliver pre-integrated IT systems designed for edge computing environments.
Schneider added that the solution meets the compute requirements of any small or space-constrained site.
Comprising StorMagic SvSAN software, two HPE ProLiant servers, a choice of VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V or Linux KVM hypervisor, alongside APC Smart-UPS with Lithium-ion models, APC power distribution unit (PDU) and HPE Aruba networking, the system is optimised to run edge applications and offers uptime.
“Customers with edge sites are experiencing a number of unique challenges, including budget constraints, lack of space and limited, or non-existent IT support,” said David Terry, VP of IT channels, Schneider Electric, Europe.
“The 6U EcoStruxure Micro Data Centre is the smallest, secure and lightweight data centre solution in the market, helping organisations to quickly modernise their IT infrastructure while reducing the costs associated with deployment, servicing and maintenance.”
