Schneider Electric and Cisco bring to market a new pre-integrated edge computing solution, integrating Cisco’s HyperFlex Edge, hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) within Schneider Electric’s “industry-first” 6U Wall Mount EcoStruxure micro data centre.
HyperFlex is a complete, engineered HCI solution built on the Cisco UCS platform, “enabling customers to extend the power and simplicity of HCI from data centres to critical IT systems at the edge of the network”.
Schneider Electric’s 6U Wall Mount is designed for edge computing environments where space is at a premium and reliability is a must. It allows large, heavy edge servers, networking equipment and UPS to be safely mounted on a wall. Consuming zero floor space, it is 60% less intrusive than traditional wall mount enclosures.
Cisco certified shock packaging also enables channel partners and systems integrators to pre-install IT for quick and standardised deployments, with secure, ruggedised options for light industrial environments.
The system is also fully compatible with Schneider Electric’s next generation Data Centre Infrastructure Management (DCIM) software
EcoStruxure IT, driving resiliency for distributed IT at the edge.
