Schneider Electric has teamed up with Stratus Technologies and Avnet Integrated to deliver micro edge data centres for industrial applications.

The EcoStruxure Micro Data Center with the Stratus ftServer has been developed by the partnership, pre-engineered and factory assembled to customer specifications by Avnet.

Available with pre-loaded software, the EcoStruxure Micro Data Center with Stratus ftServer is available in 6U, 12U or 42U rack sizes. It is a physically protected, single enclosure solution, solving IT and OT management as well as data latency and bandwidth issues.

Rob McKernan, SVP, Secure Power Europe Region, Schneider Electric, said, “Today Industry 4.0 and the convergence of IT and OT has enabled manufacturers to reach new levels of productivity, efficiency and quality. At Schneider Electric, we share a vision with Stratus and Avnet, which we believe will help customers transform their industrial operations and reap the benefits of digitalisation.

“The standardised solutions we have co-developed significantly reduce the complexities associated with deploying critical IT in factory environments, freeing up valuable time and increasing process efficiency for our customers.”
