EcoStruxure Micro Data Centers are pre-engineered, standardized solutions that integrate essential data center infrastructure, including power distribution, UPS, and environmental monitoring.

These micro data centers, designed to be compact and self-contained, cater specifically to the needs of edge computing and distributed IT applications, harsh environments via NEMA ratings, sectors expected to see significant growth.

Precedence Research projects substantial growth in the U.S. micro data center market – forecasting growth from $1.54 billion in 2023 to $19.73 billion by 2033, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 29.10 percent.

Count on advances in AI, as well as requirements for efficiency and sustainable IT, to be key drivers of this growth moving forward.

The EcoStruxure Micro Data Center range includes NetShelter SX models such as the 24U SX rack and the 42U SX rack, both pre-assembled and available in multiple configurations, including wall-mounted, rack-mounted, and standalone units.  Also included in the portfolio are NEMA 12 and NEMA4 ruggedized enclosures with heating, cooling and/or ventilation. These options ensure flexibility in deployment and scalability, enabling businesses to quickly adapt to evolving technological demands.

Schneider Electric's micro data centers come with integrated power, cooling, and monitoring systems to maintain optimal operating conditions, thus enhancing the reliability and extending the lifespan of IT equipment. Each unit is pre-configured and tested rigorously to minimize installation time and reduce potential setup errors.

Additionally, these systems can be remotely managed via Schneider Electric’s EcoStruxure IT software, which is invaluable for sites with limited IT staff. Remote monitoring and management capabilities enhance security and maintenance, ensuring operational continuity and peace of mind.

Designed for rapid deployment and high security, EcoStruxure Micro Data Centers are ideal for edge and IoT applications. They are factory-assembled for quick and easy installation and are robust enough to operate in harsh environments, meeting the IT demands of industrial sites and areas with extreme weather conditions.
