Backed by the strength, experience, and wide network of Schneider Electric’s Critical Power & Cooling Services, APC delivers well planned, flawlessly installed and maintained solutions throughout their lifecycle. Through its unparalleled commitment to innovation, APC delivers pioneering, energy efficient solutions for critical technology and industrial applications.
In 2007, Schneider Electric acquired APC and combined it with MGE UPS Systems to form Schneider Electric’s Critical Power & Cooling Services Business Unit, which recorded 2007 revenue of $3.5 billion (€2.4 billion) and employed 12,000 people worldwide. APC solutions include uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), precision cooling units, racks, physical security and design and management software, including APC’s InfraStruXure® architecture the industry’s most comprehensive integrated power, cooling, and management solution and MGE’s Galaxy uninterruptible power supply (UPS) solution for your critical data centre, industrial applications and telecommunications.
APC industry leading R&D investment re-defines how data centres are built. APC offers an innovative solution with its InfraStruXure architecture. This approach to building and managing data centres offers modular scalability allowing data centre managers to pay only for what they use. It offers capacity management to allow for instructed decision making on where it is possible (from a space, powering and cooling standpoint) to install the next IT equipment; and, on the cooling side, offers a dedicated in-row and heat-containment systems that improve cooling and thermal predictability.
Schneider Electric, with 120,000 employees and operations in 102 countries, had in 2007, annual sales of $25 billion (€17.3 billion).

Canberra Data Centres (CDC) have been able to shift the Data Centre paradigm to the next generation today. The Data Centre can address power and cooling densities of up to 30kW per rack by using the APC by Schneider Electric Closed Coupled Cooling and Hot Aisle Containment methodology. This methodology, combined with the dynamic allocation of power & cooling in a just in time manner, achieves energy efficiency savings of up to 65% when compared to traditional facilities Click here to view.
