Schneider Electric Partners with EdgePresence and Accu-Tech
Partnership supports edge computing expansion
BOSTON — Schneider Electric announced its partnership with EdgePresence and Accu-Tech to deploy edge points of presence (PoPs) to drive digital business forward. Through this partnership, EdgePresence will nationally deploy edge data centers that include a fully integrated Schneider Electric EcoStruxure Data Center solution. As the IT distributor, Accu-Tech will simplify the deployment model to enable increased speed to market. Working together to provide robust edge modules, Schneider Electric, EdgePresence and Accu-Tech will provide customers with the connectivity needed to implement dynamic edge strategies in locations across the U.S.
As deployments of IoT, 5G, AI, and analytics applications become more frequent, businesses will require IT infrastructure that supports higher speeds and increased reliability to keep pace with the digital transformation. The demand on data centers has never been higher, leading to the rise of edge data centers that collect and process data closer to end-users to improve the efficiency and latency to support mission critical business applications. In fact, according to Grand View Research, the edge computing market is expected to reach $43.4 billion by 2027, at a compound annual growth rate of 37.4%.
