When designing and planning a data center, the importance of the long-term relationship between vendor and customer is often overlooked. A strong relationship can help foster an environment of innovation. Expertise and new ideas are shared, offering outside perspectives and introducing best practices that reduce development time and costs and that emphasize efficiency and speed. One example of such a relationship is Schneider Electric’s relationship with  Mainfreight , a global logistics provider based in New Zealand. Over a 12-year span, Schneider Electric has supported Mainfreight’s business growth from an early deployment of the first modular/scalable data center solution, to a new backup and recovery data center. This modernized data center approach – connecting over 240 freight hub branches across different regions – has enabled Mainfreight to be a global logistics giant. Data Center Modernization to Harness the New Surge in Data The ability to capture and analyze mo...

Andrea Chu is a Global Marketing Graduate Trainee and Intern at Schneider Electric ’s Hong Kong Hub. A graduate from the London School of Economics in the United Kingdom, she is now working on the Campaign team. In below blog article she shares what it is like to be a Global Marketing Graduate Trainee in the Hong Kong Hub office. I’m the girl in black in the front. The guy behind me in the white shirt is Trevor, the other intern in the Hong Kong Hub. Finding a hidden gem I must admit that when I was looking for marketing job after graduating from university, working at Schneider Electric did not cross my mind. After all, I studied languages and business management at university. I’ve always thought that consumer marketing seemed like the more obvious choice. However, I’m glad that I took a leap out of my comfort zone and so far my 2 months at Schneider Electric have exceeded my expectations. Did you know that Schneider Electric no longer has a global headquarter ? Our senior...

Wiretap Orders That Defy Geographical Limitations Mandated by Congress Must Not Be Tolerated The Supreme Court should recognize and give teeth to the critical, privacy-protecting limitations Congress placed on wiretaps, EFF told the court in an amicus brief we filed with the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers. When law enforcement officials wiretap someone’s cell phone, the law doesn’t allow them to tap any phone they want anywhere in the country. The Wiretap Act (also known as “Title III” because it comes from  Title III of the 1968 Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Street Act ) permits wiretapping, but only under the narrowest of circumstances and subject to restrictive requirements carefully drawn to protect extremely sensitive privacy interests.  One of those requirements is that judges can only authorize wiretap orders for interceptions that occur  within their districts...

As we wrapped up 2017 and looked toward 2018, I began a small research project to determine new and better ways to help our banking and financial services customers with their biggest sustainability and operational efficiency challenges, ie. corporate social responsibility, and what I found surprised me. I already knew that sustainable operations fit into corporate social responsibility goals but I never realized just how much our financial services clients were doing to drive a low carbon future for our planet.  Global banks are no longer just seeking to be good corporate citizens with a few token deeds, rather they are out to change the world by increasing energy security, reducing the negative impacts of industrialization in emerging economies, and financing a more sustainable energy system.  According to Goldman Sachs environmental stewardship report , it really comes down to technology, capital and policy. We see our financial services customers investing in clean ener...

, No I’m not referring to the new iPhone X which was launched sometime back and which may cost an arm and a leg, as many of us would like to dream about and no  I’m not talking about the much debated demonetization, G.S.T. etc. and why they have been a boon or a bane to the country. I’m talking about the digital transformation path our country is set on. Focusing down to the workings of our business, I’m talking about Buildings and practically any building that you might be staying, working in, spend leisure time in or go to to have yourself healed. Well what I mean is either your home, office, hotel or a hospital. Are these buildings inspiring enough for you to spend more time in. Are they intuitive? Are they Intelligent? Do they listen to you or adapt as per your behavior? Some of them do  and most of them do not! It may surprise you that 70% of buildings which are going to come up in India by 2030, have not been built yet. Yes, in other words 70% of India is yet to be bu...
