Capgemini To Use Schneider Electric Prefabricated Modular Infrastructure for Merlin Data Centre Upgrade
London, United Kingdom (PRWEB UK) 20 November 2014 -- Capgemini, one of the world’s foremost providers consulting, technology and outsourcing services, is to use Schneider Electric prefabricated modular data centre infrastructure to upgrade the IT, power and cooling capacity of its Merlin facility.
Paul Feeney, Head of Global Data Centre Infrastructure and Transition at Capgemini said, “Modular infrastructure allows us to align the requirements we have for high density, flexible racking, and energy efficiency. This makes prefab a more sustainable solution going forward.”
Kevin Brown, VP of Data Center offer at Schneider Electric said, “Prefabricated infrastructure solves the challenge of ensuring scalable data centre capacity to meet the needs of growing businesses like Capgemini. In addition, it is flexible to meet customer’s specific system design requirements, such as Capgemini’s use of flywheel technology for power back-up.”
Paul Feeney, said, “We had a strong business case for the data centre upgrade based on growth, market change and client demand. At the same time, we were looking to work with a supplier which could meet our sustainability and efficiency goals. We also need to make provision for requirements like Hybrid Cloud and supercomputing - Schneider Electric’s prefab data centre solution can accommodate all of those applications.”
Last year at DatacenterDynamics Converged London, Schneider Electric announced 14 prefabricated data centre modules together with 12 new http://www..schneider-electric.com/sites/corporate/en/products-services/critical-power-cooling-services/reference-designs/reference-designs.page [Data Centre Reference Designs __title__ ].
