McKernan said over the past 12 months, he has seen “a tremendous opportunity for retrofitting and rejuvenating these data centers. And many partners have worked together on this exact scenario.

Most segments are seeing this transition.”

Separately, Schneider said the education sector is going through a tremendous transformation because of COVID-19.

“We’re seeing many opportunities for campus refresh,” said McKernan. “Whether it’s setting up remote learning for 20,000 students at a university in the UK, or for the upgrade of the infrastructure of 600 education facilities in the Nordics. These solutions are improving the efficiency and reducing the maintenance of the remote edge.”
