Schneider Electric launches new-age EcoStruxure 43U C-Series Micro Data Center

Schneider Electric has announced an expansion of the EcoStruxure Micro Data Center C-Series with the new 43U, offering the greatest capacity in the company’s commercial and office line of micro data centers. Featuring intelligent cooling technology for enhanced protection and energy efficiency, the new 43U C-Series is the only solution on the market that automatically switches between three cooling modes depending on the real-time needs of the system.

By helping customers deploy IT simply, securely, and reliably in any edge computing or commercial environment, the new solution is our largest, fully equipped model, eliminating the need for a purpose-built IT room, saving up to 48 percent on CapEx in 20 percent less time. In addition, users will save up to 40 percent in field engineering costs and reduce maintenance costs by 7 percent.

Conceptualized and designed in India, the EcoStruxture Micro Data Centers will empower organizations to optimize their operations and increase productivity, cost-efficiency and seamless interoperability. Driven by new-age technologies, this innovation will create instrumental benefits for businesses by maximising safety, performance and value through its integrated systems.

Jean-Baptiste Plagne, Vice President Offer Management, Rack & Edge Systems, Energy Management, Schneider Electric, says, “Our EcoStruxure Micro Data Centers increases resiliency and security with connected physical infrastructure, reduces operational costs with a cloud-based, management platform and reduces design and deployment complexity. EcoStruxure Micro Data Center C-Series 43U is the latest addition, adding more capacity, more savings, and more built-in features to address the unique challenges of commercial environments. Filling a gap in the market, EcoStruxure Micro Data Center C-Series 43U was designed with IT solution providers and IT professional in mind as they ensure our digital environments remain always-on.”

Venkatraman Swaminathan, VP & Country General Manager, India & SAARC, Secure Power Division, Schneider Electric, comments,“The global pandemic has emerged as a catalyst for change as we build the new normal. Over the past year, remote work has taken precedence in India, where organizations are harnessing the potential of edge computing, analytics, and data infrastructure to remain connected and secure. Within this context, it is pivotal to support the growing patterns of data consumption and creation to meet the demands that have arisen with the increasing proliferation and adoption of technology. At Schneider Electric, we believe in our ethos of enabling efficiency and sustainability by deploying next-gen solutions that drive growth, enable businesses to transform themselves, and become self-reliant through optimal efficiency and reduction of overheads. Our latest launch the EcoStruxure C-Series 43U Micro Data Centers has been conceptualized and designed in India and will provide enhanced resilience, safety, and connectivity for customers, while empowering stellar business outcomes that render unique value propositions.”

The new 43U C-Series offers a complete edge management solution that can be remotely monitored with EcoStruxure IT Software and Digital Services. Schneider Electric's portfolio of software and digital services provides the power and flexibility for customers to seamlessly manage critical infrastructure devices on their own, with a partner, or to leverage Schneider Electric's expert service engineers to manage it on their behalf.

The 43U C-Series was designed for IT solution providers, distributors, and alliances as well as IT professionals across vertical segments including banking, financial services, retail, healthcare, government, and education. The 43U C-Series is designed for low-to-medium density applications and environments without 24/7 precision cooling for sensitive IT such as supply rooms, IT closets, and office spaces.

Benefits of the new 43U C-Series:

· Energy Efficient Cooling Technology: Switches automatically between three cooling modes - active, eco, and emergency – based on real-time needs of the system for enhanced energy efficiency and added protection against static buildup and overheating.

· More space: Offers the greatest capacity within our Commercial (C-Series) EcoStruxure Micro Data Center line - up to 36U usable space.

· Suitable for indoor, commercial environments: Withstands the challenges of dust, power fluctuations, moderate temperature changes, and unsecure locations that are not purpose-built for sensitive IT equipment.

Available

The 43U C-Series is currently available in South America, Middle East, Africa, India, and Southeast Asia, and Pacific.
