Today, the use of Data Centers is growing exponentially and, as demand increases, so does the need for energy efficiency. To ensure sustainability in this sector, companies like Schneider Electric are working on innovative solutions that help companies optimize costs and reduce energy consumption.
In this conversation, together with Noelia Miranda, IT Channel Leader South America at Schneider Electric, we will explore how Schneider Electric is pioneering the future of data centers and how energy efficiency is key to ensuring their sustainability.
Noelia underlines that for about four years Schneider Electric has been working on the Edge Computing offer, which consists of decentralizing Big Data Centers into small microdata centers that are more localized and closer to the end user, so that it is more efficient in generating and storing data , improve latency, facilitate access to information, and avoid the operational complexity that comes with hiring far-flung data centers.
More efficient processes
Noelia explains that Schneider Electric has launched a new channel program focused on market trends rather than products, so that customers can be more efficient and effective in digitalizing operational processes and energy sustainability.
In this regard, Noelia highlights that the company’s rewards program, “My Rewards”, offers incentives to its customers to use its channels more frequently. She explained: “The more our customers use the channels we offer, the more we offer personalization or a much greater form of loyalty. “It’s a loyalty program and the more sales they generate, the more reward they receive.”
Miranda also explains that her company is adapting to various changes, such as climate change. She gave an example: «In Chile we have a strong mining segment, where you can’t have a data center in a specific area because it doesn’t give you the infrastructure. However, we provide prefabricated data centers, which are containers in which data centers are located, and we can mobilize them in the middle of the mountain, in the middle of the desert, so that the data center itself can generate this information and store it.
