Legrand has strengthened its data center solutions offering with the acquisition of Bedford-based infrastructure specialist - USystems.
Acquiring USystems’ entire portfolio, which includes the world-renowned ColdLogik cooling technology, the deal further strengthens Legrand’s position in providing added-value solutions in the growing data center market.
cooling solutions and racks
The acquisition will help Legrand expand its presence in the UK data center market, while also helping to grow USystems’ international business.
USystems’ portfolio of cooling solutions and racks helps data centers reduce their overall energy bills, subsequently bringing down their carbon footprint. USystems’ efficient technologies allow customers to reach the IT densities required, combined with unprecedented levels of sustainable cooling efficiency.
ColdLogik technology
The range of retrofit and new build ColdLogik Rear Door Coolers provides an efficient and sustainable cooling
The range of retrofit and new build ColdLogik Rear Door Coolers, for example, provides an efficient and sustainable cooling range from 0.1 to 200kW plus per rack.
This is particularly impactful in the growing micro data center (MDC) market, where USystems has developed its ColdLogik technology to occupy less than one square meter of floor space to fit most edge applications.
solutions-based approach
Pascal Stutz, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Legrand UK & Ireland, said “The acquisition of USystems enables us to strengthen our position in the fastest growing segments of the data center sector – HPC (high-performance computing) and MDCs; complements our existing offering in the data center white space market in both the UK and globally and provides Legrand with additional expertise and capabilities in specialist cooling and energy efficiency technologies."
He adds, "All of which allows us to better serve customers’ needs through value-add, problem-solving, and an increasingly solutions-based approach to the markets we serve.”
sustainable and energy-efficient
Scott Bailey, the Managing Director (MD), USystems Ltd, said “USystems’ ColdLogik technology is in a prime position to support the data center industry’s move towards a more sustainable, energy-efficient future, as well as to meet HPC’s higher cooling requirements easily."
He adds, "Our EDGE range of micro data centers complements Legrand’s existing portfolio and fits with their philosophy of developing a more integrated, solutions-based approach to helping their customers, as opposed to simple product-based deployments. We are excited to join the Legrand Group and to expand the USystems portfolio internationally.”
