How co-location providers reduce cost and risk Reliability and speed to market critical success factors


Co-location facilities have aggressive timescales to meet. That’s why many choose to partner with APC™


by Schneider Electric™


Working with a global market leader helps co-location businesses to reduce risk.


Since Schneider Electric provides a large number of data center electrical and cooling products (medium voltage switchgear and transformers, power distribution and busway, racks and cable management, facility power and cooling modules, chillers, computer room air conditioning, pods with hot aisle containment, evaporative and air-to-air heat exchanger economizer mode cooling solutions) co-location businesses can reduce the number of supplier relationships they have to manage.

Reduced power and cooling CapEx and OpEx “The APC by Schneider Electric N+1 approach to fault tolerance makes it very simple to add capacity as we grow, all the while maintaining fault tolerance. We also appreciate its modular design; being able to scale up and add capacity as we grow made the capital expenditure more attractive. We didn’t have to pay for a whole data center when we only needed half, and were able to delay 40% of the total costs upfront until customer demand dictates expansion.” – Dave Hegemann, President/CEO, SuperNet of Ohio Inc., USA
