With this certification, APC assures its channel partners and customers of its commitment to converged systems, enabling them to rapidly deploy IT infrastructure.
Businesses are currently under pressure to keep pace with the growth of Big Data and the Internet of Things (IoT). To meet these trends, IT environments are transforming to be highly distributed and converged, as well as flexible, easily repeatable, and rapidly deployable. Until now, companies using Cisco UCS servers had very little choice when selecting their supporting physical infrastructure: these servers were only authorized for delivery in Cisco R-Series racks. This limited companies' ability to optimize their physical infrastructure, increasing complexity and time to market. It also restricted business opportunities for partners.
collaboration
between APC and Cisco addresses the need for both channel partners and customers to have a complete, secure, reliable, repeatable, and rapidly deployable solution. Having collaborated on a certified system and reference design, channel partners and customers are no longer responsible for ensuring system compatibility, reducing costs and time. Furthermore, NetShelter SX certification enables a full range of APC by Schneider Electric physical IT infrastructures, such as integration with the InfraStruxure™ scalable modular architecture for data centers and with Micro Data Center Xpress for edge computing environments, which will be available across Europe later this year.
“As businesses face the challenge of balancing complex IT systems with rapidly evolving market demands, it is more important than ever for vendors to work together to provide their channel partners and customers with the simplest and most easily deployable solutions that leverage today’s connectivity and security needs,” said Rob McKernan, Senior Vice President of Operations, IT Division, Europe and France, Schneider Electric. "Through this alliance with Cisco, as well as all our alliances, APC reinforces its commitment to providing benchmark, reliable, and simple power protection for increasingly sophisticated IT architectures."
