Overview

E.K. Associates was engaged by Schneider Electric to assess and redesign its enterprise data center ecosystem, spanning compute, storage, networking, virtualization platforms, and long-term cloud strategy. Acting as trusted modernization partners, E.K. Associates diagnosed systemic reliability and performance constraints, re-architected core infrastructure patterns, and defined a transformational future-state architecture grounded in active-active resiliency and global cloud reach.

Through targeted remediation, performance engineering, and forward-looking architecture design, E.K. Associates helped Schneider Electric stabilize critical platforms, improve operational reliability, and position its infrastructure for scalable hybrid-cloud growth across global operations.
