Schneider Electric and DataCentre UK deploy modular data centre for South Warwickshire NHS Trust

12 November 2025

Schneider Electric, in partnership with its EcoXpert Partner DataCentre UK, has successfully implemented a new modular data centre for South Warwickshire University NHS Foundation Trust (SWFT). This strategic deployment enhances the Trust’s operational resilience, energy efficiency, and capacity to meet evolving healthcare demands.

In response to increasing pressures on existing infrastructure, SWFT sought a robust, scalable, and secure data centre solution. Schneider Electric’s EcoStruxure™ Data Centre platform, including APC NetShelter racks, modular cooling units, APC power distribution units (PDUs), and Easy UPS systems, was selected to optimize resilience, efficiency, and sustainability.

Scotland poised to become major hub for large-scale data centres

11 November 2025

Scotland’s rich mix of renewable energy, available land, and skilled workforce is attracting increasing interest from developers exploring large-scale data centre projects, according to a recent study by planning and development consultancy Lichfields.

The analysis highlights how the UK’s data centre sector currently contributes approximately £4.7 billion annually to the economy, with projections suggesting this could rise by an additional £44 billion by 2035 through construction and operational activities. Scotland is well-positioned to secure a significant portion of this growth, thanks to its ability to produce 113% of its electricity consumption from renewable sources in 2022 and export surplus clean power to the national grid.

Future-proofing data centres across EMEA

11 November 2025

A recent study commissioned by Lenovo and conducted with Opinium reveals that traditional data centre designs are increasingly inadequate to meet the evolving demands of businesses across EMEA. Key challenges include supporting AI workloads efficiently, achieving sustainability goals, and complying with data sovereignty regulations — all while managing rising energy consumption and costs.

Although 92% of IT decision-makers prioritise partners who reduce energy use and emissions, only 46% believe their current infrastructure supports these sustainability targets. Conventional cooling methods like air cooling are struggling to balance efficiency, cost, and environmental impact amid exponential data growth.

With data centres now embedded as part of vital infrastructures, ensuring environmental compliance and operational reliability must be a key consideration. Fundamental to meeting these regulations are factors such as temperature management, dewpoint, and humidity control.

Data centres rely on hundreds of humidity sensors to provide real-time, precise information to meet key requirements. Even a single inaccurate reading can cost a data centre millions of pounds in downtime, penalties, and equipment damage. Proper calibration is essential to ensure these sensors deliver trustworthy data, but data centres face significant challenges when calibrating these devices.
