PABLO RUIZ ESCRIBANO, SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT, SECURE POWER AND DATA CENTER BUSINESS, SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC, EUROPE
With HER1, Schneider Electric has prioritised its long-term sustainability strategy, which it integrates across all its operations. The company has already secured 1.5GW of renewable energy for Digital Realty to help define its sustainability strategy.
“ We’ ve been able to customise the design of Digital Realty’ s data centres based on our products and tools,” Pablo explains.“ Facing these challenges together enables them to become a more sustainable company.”
The future of global connectivity Facilities like HER1 have the potential to improve global connectivity, with Schneider Electric and Digital Realty laying emphasis on the resiliency of submarine cables.
“ These facilities are needed and, as more growing or populated countries adopt technology, facilities like HER1 help to increase the mesh of submarine cables needed to make global cable networks more resilient,” Pablo notes.“ The fact that we are in the Mediterranean area, connecting Europe with Asia, the Middle East and Africa, makes Greece a key geopolitical area for the future.
“ Having more possibilities like HER1 will improve connectivity.”
