Schneider Electric – Around the world, cloud and IT providers are scaling their capabilities and accelerating expansion programmes to meet skyrocketing infrastructure demand from the ongoing pandemic. Enterprises are not spared, as employees work from home and cities go into lockdown. Many have scrambled to support the surge in demand for remote access to corporate IT services from remote workers.<\/p>\n

Enterprise Challenges<\/strong><\/h3>\n

With the situation unlikely to abate anytime soon, enterprises have shown renewed interest in data centre designs that are quicker to deploy and easier to manage. And with cost pressure at an all-time high, these new deployments must be manageable with existing staffing levels without compromising reliability.<\/p>\n

As noted<\/a> by Jean-Baptiste Plagne of Schneider Electric, the new deployment models are vital to meet the new normal. In many cases, this might entail revamping existing systems to maximise performance, simplify management and optimise their operational cost.<\/p>\n

Moreover, enterprises are also turning to blended deployments with a centralised data centre for core compute and storage, with support from edge computing nodes to meet the larger geographical footprint of home workers.<\/p>\n

Top Considerations <\/strong><\/h3>\n

As enterprises reimagine their on-premises facilities, they are looking for capabilities that help them fulfil essential requirements with higher degrees of automation and remote management.<\/p>\n

Some of these requirements include:<\/p>\n
