Lee Technologies, based in Fairfax, Virginia., specialises in 24/7-type data centre services, such as remote monitoring command centres and on-site critical facility operations.
It also specialises in customer segments that include federal government, financial services, telecommunications, information technology and health care. Lee has about 300 employees and in 2010 generated sales of about $140 million (£86 million).
With the new acquisition, France-based Schneider Electric obtains new capabilities in general consulting, site assessment, design, equipment specification and selection to integration, commissioning, facility operations staffing, maintenance and proactive 24/7 remote monitoring.
This full slate of services will bolster Schneider Electric’s IT business skills in data centre management, Laurent Vernerey, executive vice president of Schneider Electric IT business, said.
The data centre segment has been one of the world’s fastest growing users of energy for the last decade.
