DIGITAL transformation of energy management company Schneider Electric has won the ‘Hyper-convergence Innovation of the year category at the SVC Awards 2018, for the second year in a row.
Following last year’s award for its Micro Data Centre solutions, the 2018 accolade has recognized the company’s HyperPod rack ready system as an enabler of hyper-converged infrastructure.
According to the company, its pod architecture, with integrated power, cooling, cabling, software management and containment, allows pre-integrated systems to be engineered, tested and configured at factory level, for rapid and predictable deployment within critical IT environments.
Vice President, IT Division, UK and Ireland Marc Garner said, “A fundamental focus for our company is to drive Innovation at Every Level. HyperPod is the perfect fit for today’s data centres, especially hyperscale, cloud and colocation service providers looking to add capacity fast, whilst ensuring the highest levels of resiliency, connectivity and availability for customers.”
HyperPod is an EcoStruxure ready data centre system. It is designed to deploy IT in increments of 8 to 12 racks and, according to the company, is the only solution of its kind available in the market.
