within either an ISO20ft or ISO40ft container, or as a 25ft-45ft module.


Solution benefits include: • Greater predictability: based on a standardised design and consistent factory- controlled processes, Easy Modular Data Centre All-in-Ones are pre-designed, prefabricated and tested in a factory environment, prior to shipment.


• Increased speed: Easy Modular Data Centre All-in-One are based on a ‘Commercial Off The Shelf’ (‘COTS’) design. All modules are ‘site-ready’, reducing the planning, construction and implementation phases and fast-tracking the time from ‘concept to commissioning’.


Schneider Electric releases new Easy Modular Data Centre


All-in-One solution During the virtual event, Schneider Electric announced the launch of its new Easy Modular Data Centre All-in-One Solution for customers in Europe. Available in four standardised form factors with


additional configurable options, Easy Modular ‘All- in-One’ Data Centres combine power, cooling, and IT equipment into a single, pre-configured solution, providing exceptional value for businesses seeking to implement an edge computing strategy. The Easy Modular Data Centre All-in-One range


expands Schneider Electric’s prefabricated, modular data centre offering, and builds upon the successes of its Easy physical infrastructure products, including its Easy Rack, Easy PDU, and Easy UPS offers. With Easy Modular Data Centre All-in-One,


Schneider Electric has streamlined the design and commissioning process, eliminating upfront engineering work to meet demanding timescales and provide customers with a high-quality, standardised solution in as little as 12 weeks.


All four designs include its Easy Rack, Easy


PDU, and Easy UPS offers, are cooled using ultra- energy efficient InRow DX cooling systems, and offer enhanced remote monitoring, management, and service support via Schneider Electric’s EcoStruxure IT Expert DCIM software. Elliott Turek, offer &


innovation leader, Prefabricated Modular Solutions, Schneider Electric,k said that with its new pre- engineered designs, Schneider Electric can streamline the design and commissioning process, eliminating upfront engineering work, and meet demanding timescales by delivering a high-quality, standardised solution with delivery in as little as 12 weeks.” Easy Modular Data Centre All-in-One designs


range from five to 14 racks, offer power densities between 27kW-94KkW and depending on the customer environment, can be pre-configured


• Reduced cost: Easy Modular Data Centre All- in-One solutions are, on average, 15% less expensive than an equivalent ETO offer, and offer up to 20-year lifecycle.


• Easy installation: Prefabricated approach reduces labor costs and optimises building space, giving customers the advantage of delaying deployment until capacity is required.


• Sustainability: Easy Modular Data Centres are manufactured using the most sustainable construction methods. They are RoHS and REACh compliant, include Product Environmental Profiles (PEPs), and incorporate features that both optimise energy savings and leave a smaller environmental footprint.


Mr Turek said: “Data centre operators are


today demanding pre-engineered and modular solutions, that can meet demanding timescales and assure predictability in costs and performance. “By pre-engineering and testing the new


Easy Prefab solution at the factory-level, we’re able to help customers increase reliability and mitigate risk – ensuring they benefit from shorter lead times, and a lower total cost of ownership.”
