We\u2019re here at HPE Discover 2018<\/a>, proudly sponsoring the event and enjoying a jam-packed few days in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

The data center industry has experienced tremendous disruption in the last decade. The fourth Industrial Revolution, with its IT\/OT convergence, the proliferation of IoT, and insatiable demand for digital connectivity, is creating the opportunity to push the envelope of performance beyond the obvious and create new business value. And there\u2019s no bigger opportunity right now than at the edge.<\/p>\n

At the same time, these new paradigms are also driving more complexity: companies today are trying to manage a combination of environments, from large centralized data centers on-premises or in the cloud, regional edge data centers, to local edge data centers. We have more data centers, intertwined across more locations, and with more data, than ever before. All of this adds up to promising opportunities on the horizon for our customers \u2013 but an equally daunting number of new challenges to confront, as well.<\/p>\n

Overcoming Data Computing Complexities by Delivering Innovative Solutions<\/h2>\n

\"twoAt Schneider Electric<\/a>, we\u2019re working to help customers overcome these challenges with EcoStruxure\"\u2122\" IT<\/a>, a cloud-based architecture purpose-built for hybrid IT and data center environments, which is designed to deliver enhanced value around safety, reliability, efficiency, sustainability, and connectivity for modern, distributed data center environments. With EcoStruxure IT, Schneider Electric customers can count on significant improvements to their existing data center environments and operations with proactive insights on critical assets that impact the health and availability of an IT environment, and the ability to deliver actionable real-time recommendations to optimize infrastructure performance and mitigate risk.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re also strengthening our collaborative partnership with HPE<\/a> to connect OT to IT edge solutions that increase availability at each node while improving efficiency and performance in our joint customers\u2019 increasingly complex environments. At HPE Discover 2018, we\u2019ll demo the prototype of our latest collaborative initiative, a 6U micro datacenter solution that integrates our EcoStruxure IT platform and is engineered for industrial and retail applications.<\/p>\n

At the Show and Beyond<\/h2>\n

This week we\u2019re digging into all of this and more as we explore the role edge is playing in the larger data center landscape and highlighting some real-world use cases for optimizing infrastructure performance and mitigating risk across hybrid IT environments. Want to learn more?<\/p>\n
