Data Center Re-Architecture & Cloud Strategy Modernization

Data Center Assessment, Performance Optimization & Hybrid Cloud Strategy

Client:
Schneider Electric
Role:
Architecture Advisory • Virtualization Optimization • Network & Security Modernization

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.

E.K. Advantage

Performance Recovery & Platform Stabilization

We identified and resolved critical virtualization performance issues, restoring stability across Hyper-V clusters and improving system availability and service responsiveness.

Architecture-Driven Modernization Roadmap

We evaluated core infrastructure layers and delivered prioritized modernization recommendations across compute, storage, and network domains to establish a resilient, high-performance foundation.

Hybrid Cloud & Global Connectivity Strategy

We designed an active-active data center architecture, integrating cloud access patterns and global content delivery to align Schneider Electric’s infrastructure with AWS and Azure adoption strategies.
