Energy
University More Than Doubles Registered Users in 2012, Outpacing Expectations
Schneider Electric, a global
specialist in energy management, today announced it is integrating Data Center
University, the globally recognized online resource of data center courses,
with its online, free, vendor-neutral energy efficiency learning program,
Energy University. The move gets Schneider Electric one step closer to its
stated goal of supplying comprehensive energy efficiency learning for all
segments and industries within the next three years.
“The addition of Data Center
University is another step in our commitment to help fill the gap in available
educational resources for energy efficiency and sustainable operations,” said
Jeff de Sousa, Vice President for IT Business, Schneider Electric. “Business
leaders have a tremendous opportunity today to reduce energy consumption and
costs, and the inclusion of the data center content allows for individuals in
the IT space to have access to all aspects of efficiency learning.”
Data Center University has existed as a highly successful e-learning program from Schneider Electric’s IT business unit for the past seven years, with more than 360,000 courses taken within the resource. The 90,000 registered users of Data Center University will be migrated into Energy University, making it the second college of learning within that resource. The Data Center University name and indentification will be retained.
