Schneider Electric is the first company to be recognised by HPE in the newlyadded category. At the HPE Partner Growth Summit Virtual Experience, Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) announced the winners of the 2020 HPE Partner of the Year Awards. These channel partners from across the partner ecosystem have been awarded for their outstanding performance, commitment to customer excellence, focus on growth and innovation and professional achievements. “We are proud to be recognised for our collaborative efforts in bringing Commercial and Industrial Edge together with Operational Technologies for the benefits of our customers,” said Chris Hanley, Senior Vice President, Commercial Operations, Global Channels and Alliances, Schneider Electric. “We look forward to growing this critical relationship with HPE to continue developing innovative new solutions that empower our customers to leverage the Edge for their businesses.” Schneider Electric and HPE first announced their partnership in 2016 to produce a joint architecture for micro data centre solutions to power the intelligent Edge. Both companies were aligned in leveraging the opportunity for tremendous benefits by moving computing to the network edge but recognised that there were no offers or supply chain in place. Since partnering in 2016, the companies have worked together to produce the HPE Edge Centres, originally in 42U and 23U sizes and now including the newly-introduced 6U. www.intelligentdatacentres.com Issue 18 9
