Latin America. Schneider Electric won in the 'Innovation of the Year in Data Center' category of the DCS Awards, 2018. The award, decided by popular vote, is a recognition of the development in innovation and leadership that the company has made.
As part of Schneider Electric's EcoStruxure architecture for data centers, HyperPod is a rack-ready system designed to deploy large-scale IT in 8- to 12-rack increments.
