: EU data centres and global telecom services
Working with Schneider Electric One of Neterra ’ s longest-standing partnerships is with Schneider Electric , having collaborated with the company since the very beginning of its data centre business . Founded in 1836 in Le Creusot , France , Schneider Electric is a French multinational company providing energy and automation digital solutions for efficiency and sustainability . It addresses homes , buildings , data centres , infrastructure , and industries , by combining energy technologies , real-time automation , software and services .
Chakinski says that the latest project between the two companies involves an SDC tool where “ Neterra relies on Schneider Electric to provide working technical solutions for the electrical systems .” This includes everything from power distribution boards to supplies .
Neterra also works with partners in a variety of different ways . “ We work with all the industry leaders providing best in class systems for different data centre systems like transformers and power supply systems , precise climate control , fire alarm and fire suppression , leakage detection , access control and so on . It ' s our policy to always organise open tender procedures with transparent rules , an ambition to choose the best solution ,” Chakinski said .
Discussing the requirements of a good partner relationship , Chakinski said it “ requires trust , respect , and open communication . Good working relationships also gives you freedom because instead of spending time and energy for you , you can focus on opportunities from winning the new businesses or focusing on person development .”
Looking ahead to the future , Neterra is planning SDC 3 , its fifth data centre as well as expanding its existing Stonik facility .
