Standardized, configurable How we work with you More like buying a car Consultatative We work with customers directly in early project phases to develop data center solution concepts and specifications, based on IT requirements Solutions are typically based on standardized modular designs Small or large projects; new or retrofit Bid-spec supplier Customers engage architects and engineers Our channel partners bid on component or subsystem specifications that are integrated by third parties We provide best-in-class equipment as specified Solutions tend to be unique, complex, and time-consuming Standardized, configurable Complex, unique More like building a house We value both types of relationship and work to make our customers successful in either case

Why has Schneider made the data center a high priority? ! Existing customers have identified the data center as a priority requiring help and improvement We are uniquely positioned to solve data center problems We have more customers to learn from than any other infrastructure provider We have worked 15 years to develop the science of data centers and have the technology and skills to solve the customer problems We already offer nearly all the different parts used in the data center and are therefore in an ideal position to integrate them in ways to add maximum value

Customers are asking for help – we must respond 2008 IDC study Q: What is the number one challenge your data center faces today? Power and cooling 21.8% A: Data centers account for what percent of all electricity being used? About 1-1.5%. That is a huge number when you think about it and is very similar to the power consumed by the worlds television sets. Electric costs are now showing up as a major line item expense that companies must account for to really understand the profitability of their businesses. Many companies and business units want to minimize this expense because it is limiting the funds available to deploy new applications that can increase the success of the businesses or defend from competitive threats. Leading to changing the way many companies think. Microsoft and Google are building some data centers in the areas with the lowest cost electricity. The newest mega data centers are actually being built in Iceland. Why Iceland – Geothermal energy, which is extremely low cost. Microsoft and Google are now building mega data centers in Iowa. Iowa is emerging as a center of cloud computing A handful of factors that make Iowa an attractive place for data centers: it's "safe and quiet," centrally located, and has an educated workforce, he says. There's also "relatively inexpensive" electricity, a surprisingly high percentage of which (8%) is wind generated. It turns out that, in addition to plentiful land and affordable electricity, the Hawkeye state gives hefty tax breaks. It's worth noting that Google's Iowa data center is located on a 55-acre site near Lake Manawa. In addition, Google has purchased 130 acres nearby and another 1,000 acres south of Council Bluffs. Google hasn't said how it plans to use those 1,000 acres. My guess is that it will build a wind farm there Google – has stated in a white paper that the possibility for power consumption spiraling out of control could not only effect the affordability of computers but the overall health of the planet

Data center planning and operation is under increasing pressures Increasing availability expectations Rapid changes in IT technology Uncertain long-term plans for capacity or density Energy and service cost control pressure High density blade server power/heat Data Dynamic power variation Center Regulatory requirements Server consolidation In response, we are working to change the way the world designs, installs, operates, manages, and maintains data centers

What actions is Schneider taking in the data center market? Consolidation of complimentary market suppliers to add to the existing Schneider power and automation portfolio to develop more complete and integrated solutions; examples include: APC MGE Square D Pelco (video surveillance) TAC Power Measurement Inc. (PMI) Coordination of product development across historically disconnected businesses to optimize data center solutions Building management Power distribution IT whitespace racks, power, and cooling equipment Security Power management

Our vision for the data center business is simple Schneider Electric will dramatically simplify the process of designing, deploying and operating the world's most predictable, dense and efficient data centers The best way to achieve our vision is to provide integrated, standardized, modular, scalable, data center solutions

What we’ve learned from our customers: More efficient More reliable Higher density More predicable More cost effective More understandable Simpler experience We can’t get this: … by just making better COMPONENTS: (UPS, switchgear, controls, air conditioners, power distribution, etc) These improvements require standardization, integration of solutions, and an improved planning process

Our approach to the problem Focus on the improvement of the system, not the components Standardization & Modularity are the key to improving the availability and agility of data center infrastructure while reducing total cost The data center project process is just as important as the equipment, and must be simplified Which brings us to the current challenge of modular vs monolithic architecture: APC’s disruptive approach to NCPI. It sounds good but how do we measure the business value achieved? Acquiring a data center will become more like buying a car and less like building a house

Typical Top Priorities Customers typically classify data centers differently, with different priorities Data Center Type Typical Top Priorities Other Typical Goals Enterprise Availability Flexibility Efficiency Co-Location Scalability Standardization Cloud Computing Massive Power Levels High Density Supercomputing There is not a single approach to data center design that is best; standardization must recognize the different types
