Schneider Electric has announced ISX, InfraStruxure for IT in SMBs, in India, enabling SMBs to design and build their physical IT infrastructures around a comprehensive offering.
This new offer is aimed at speeding the deployment, configuration and installation of IT infrastructures in small environments, such as a server room, network closet or non-dedicated IT spaces.
The solution is customizable and is touted to meet the SMB IT user’s challenges such as lack of resources (human and financial), affordability, deployment of new technologies, increased device pressure on networks, lack of space, multivendor management, and manual configuration.
The company claims to take a comprehensive rather than component-based approach to offering such solutions in the SMB space.
“With the ever evolving IT infrastructure in the SMB space, end users are looking at solution mixes that can be easily installed, configured and integrated into either the existing IT infrastructure or new build outs. ISX for SMB IT meets the critical IT needs of small businesses allowing customers more time to focus on their core business,” said Shrinivas Chebbi, Vice President, Schneider Electric, India & SAARC.
“This is a customized India-for-India solution backed by extensive study of the Indian SMB IT user’s requirements. We believe it will be a compelling solution as it understands real-world customer challenges and offers a comprehensive, problem-solving and affordable approach. We are rolling out this product in 24 cities in India currently and see significant market potential,” he said.
Schneider Electric’s ISX for SMB IT solution is claimed to reduce Total Cost of Ownership by up to 20% by elevating efficiency, leveraging virtualization and consolidation opportunities. It can also reduce downtime and extend the life of equipment while slashing extraneous energy consumption by up to 20% and reducing waste and emergency shutdowns. It is also designed to optimize space up to 30% as compared to a traditional setup, especially with offerings like the Unisplit A/C that is ceiling-mounted, the company claimed in a release.
