High Efficiency Solutions for Server RoomsEnvironment description and solution overview

APC by Schneider Electric gives you the ability to power, cool, monitor, manage and service your server room with ease and confidence. Server rooms are 1- 5 rack environments that are often not specifically designed to provide the ideal environment for IT equipment.

•Consolidation makes the server room a dynamic and unpredictable environment

•Virtualization adds complexity to physical infrastructure and dramatically increases criticality of the physical server availability

•Higher Density IT can drive the need for dedicated supplemental cooling

•IT managers need to deliver higher levels of availability driving the need for higher performance power, cooling, racks, management and services.

•Corporate governance and pending government regulations are driving increased efficiency requirements

•Corporate desire for lower capital, operating and maintenance costs

Trends impacting the environment

Typical customer problems●My server room has experienced unplanned and unorganized growth and has

become unreliable in operation and problematic to diagnose issues

●I don’t know where or how to start the process of designing or building a new server room

●I don’t know how to determine how much power and cooling capacity is left in

each rack

●I don’t know how to determine the optimal place to install new IT equipment in the IT racks for maximum efficiency and availability

●When I have a problem I have to call multiple vendors for service

●My server room is not designed for quick and easy growth or scalability

●My server room is very cold and costs much more in electricity than it used to, but I still have hot spots and overheating servers

●I have one or multiple server rooms that I would like to remotely manage from one central location.

Close-coupled cooling™

● Closely couples cooling with heat load, preventing air recirculation

● Powerful enough to for spaces with no cooling, or as a supplement to overloaded comfort systems

● Built-in management capabilities

● Heat rejection up to 10kW with waterless design.

● Lowers operating cost by monitoring inlet temperatures to modulate cooling capacity based on the cooling demand

Rack Air Containment

● Perfect for single row server rooms

● Rear containment prevents hot exhaust air from escaping

● Optional front containment directs cool air to front of servers

● Maximizes efficiency and effectiveness of InRow cooling
