data centres Professional look
Data centres are the very core of modern business environments, supporting all the applications needed to maintain daily communications, transactions, and critical storage and retrieval of information. Today’s emerging applications require faster transmission speed and increased power consumption. As a result, there is now a tremendous need for holistic data centre solutions that address both power and data while supporting sustainability through energy efficiency, space utilisation, reliability, and uptime. From the cabinet to the workstation, Hubbell Premise Wiring has the reliable data solutions needed to deliver, transport critical data, support the latest networking applications and effectively manage high density equipment to ensure data centre sustainability. Hubbell server and network cabinets, racks, and cable management solutions optimise airflow for efficient cooling, increase usable space, and facilitate identification of critical ports while maintaining data centre aesthetics for a professional look. Throughout the data centre, Hubbell fibre and copper systems support maximum bandwidth and emerging applications to reduce waste and cable bulk to ensure uptime, scalability and reliability extending the life of the network investment.

Family way
Emerson Network Power has introduced Smart Solutions, a family of intelligent, integrated infrastructure systems for the data centre. These Smart Solutions bring together best-of-breed technologies and industry best practices to enable cost effective management of capacity, efficiency and availability through interoperable systems configured to speed implementation, adapt to change and reduce costs. As part of the family, the company also introduced the SmartRow, SmartMod and SmartAisle.
The SmartRow offering is a standalone data centre infrastructure that supports up to 20kW of IT equipment in an enclosed, multi-rack configuration with integrated power, cooling, infrastructure management and fire suppression. By reducing room modifications required to support IT equipment, the configuration can reduce initial capital costs by about 10 per cent. It can cut ongoing energy costs by up to 30 per cent.
The SmartMod offering is an intelligent, integrated infrastructure included in a rapid deployment enclosure. It can be used to supplement existing data centre capacity or can be deployed as a standalone, remote data centre or disaster recovery site.
The SmartAisle infrastructure can increase efficiency and provide
flexibility through row based infrastructure for new and existing data centres. For further information visit:

SETTING NEW STANDARDS IN CABINET DESIGN
All too often companies cut back on their choice of cabinet, compromising quality for price. Budget racks clearly have a place in the market but we strongly believe that its a false economy.
A signifi cant amount of data centre running costs is spent on cooling racks. However, most traditional rack designs, see expensively cooled air escaping down the side profi les. To combat this,
To speak to our
we’ve created the EvoRack which simply closes the gaps on the rack and reduces the amount of cooling required – which increases effi ciency, reduces PUE and most importantly, saves you money.
