Microsoft’s Schneider Electric data centre is Business-wise, Future-driven.TM Perhaps no company knows better than Microsoft®


Why Schneider Electric data centres? > Reduced total data centre life cycle cost up to 13 per cent


how flexible and agile data


centres need to be to accommodate today’s fast-paced business and technology changes. To ensure that its Microsoft Technology Center (MTC) in Paris could adapt quickly to its ongoing business requirements, Microsoft turned to Schneider ElectricTM for the industry’s only integrated data centre physical infrastructure and its applied expertise from building to rack. This end-to-end layer, which spans from building to room to row to rack, enables Microsoft to tap its data centre as an integral business asset instead of just a cost centre.


As Frédéric Aatz, data centre manager, MTC, points out, ‘The agility of the Schneider Electric data centre allows a quick adaptation to the ever-changing IT requirements. It also can adapt easily to dynamic business needs and strategies. This capability is key in an IT environment that is transitioning to cloud computing right now’.
