Living on the (IT) Edge: Schneider Electric at HPE Discover 2018

We’re here at HPE Discover 2018, proudly sponsoring the event and enjoying a jam-packed few days in Las Vegas.

The data center industry has experienced tremendous disruption in the last decade. The fourth Industrial Revolution, with its IT/OT convergence, the proliferation of IoT, and insatiable demand for digital connectivity, is creating the opportunity to push the envelope of performance beyond the obvious and create new business value. And there’s no bigger opportunity right now than at the edge.

At the same time, these new paradigms are also driving more complexity: companies today are trying to manage a combination of environments, from large centralized data centers on-premises or in the cloud, regional edge data centers, to local edge data centers. We have more data centers, intertwined across more locations, and with more data, than ever before. All of this adds up to promising opportunities on the horizon for our customers – but an equally daunting number of new challenges to confront, as well.

Overcoming Data Computing Complexities by Delivering Innovative Solutions

two men looking at interactive screenAt Schneider Electric, we’re working to help customers overcome these challenges with EcoStruxure™ IT, a cloud-based architecture purpose-built for hybrid IT and data center environments, which is designed to deliver enhanced value around safety, reliability, efficiency, sustainability, and connectivity for modern, distributed data center environments. With EcoStruxure IT, Schneider Electric customers can count on significant improvements to their existing data center environments and operations with proactive insights on critical assets that impact the health and availability of an IT environment, and the ability to deliver actionable real-time recommendations to optimize infrastructure performance and mitigate risk.

We’re also strengthening our collaborative partnership with HPE to connect OT to IT edge solutions that increase availability at each node while improving efficiency and performance in our joint customers’ increasingly complex environments. At HPE Discover 2018, we’ll demo the prototype of our latest collaborative initiative, a 6U micro datacenter solution that integrates our EcoStruxure IT platform and is engineered for industrial and retail applications.

At the Show and Beyond

This week we’re digging into all of this and more as we explore the role edge is playing in the larger data center landscape and highlighting some real-world use cases for optimizing infrastructure performance and mitigating risk across hybrid IT environments. Want to learn more?

EFF: No Digital Surveillance of Iranians at the U.S. Border—or Within the U.S.

No Digital Surveillance of Iranians at the U.S. Border—or Within the U.S. Only days into heightened tensions between the United States and Iran, media outlets have published disturbing reports of increased scrutiny of people of Iranian descent at U.S. borders, including in at least one case involving a traveler’s phone. EFF strongly opposes any targeting of people for digital surveillance based on their race, religion, or nationality, at our border and in our interior. And we remind all members of the public to practice surveillance self-defense. Disturbing Reports from the Border On January 5, media outlets reported that more than 60 people of Iranian descent, including U.S. citizens, were held at the border between Canada and Washington state for many hours and questioned about their perceived connections to Iran. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) denied that it detained or refused entry to Iranians based on their national origin, a claim contested by accounts f

EFF: Corporate Speech Police Are Not the Answer to Online Hate

Corporate Speech Police Are Not the Answer to Online Hate A coalition of civil rights and public interest groups issued recommendations today on policies they believe Internet intermediaries should adopt to try to address hate online. While there’s much of value in these recommendations, EFF does not and cannot support the full document. Because we deeply respect these organizations, the work they do, and the work we often do together; and because we think the discussion over how to support online expression—including ensuring that some voices aren’t drowned out by harassment or threats—is an important one, we want to explain our position. We agree that online speech is not always pretty—sometimes it’s extremely ugly and causes real world harm. The effects of this kind of speech are often disproportionately felt by communities for whom the Internet has also provided invaluable tools to organize, educate, and connect. Systemic discrimination does not disappear and can even be ampl
