Feature 7 ways your rack/rack PDU system


can keep IT deployments simple and easy The foundation of your IT physical infrastructure


As IT has become increasingly complex, now more than ever you need the foundation of your IT physical infrastructure—your racks and power distribution—to be simple and adaptable. Your rack/rack PDU system holds the key to ensuring that today’s IT physical infrastructure can accommodate your business needs quickly and easily.


Significant changes in the way IT equipment is deployed, as well as the push for consolidation and virtualization projects, have heightened these industry calls for simplicity and adaptability. If you have mission-critical IT equipment but no closet or room to house it, being able to optimize the use of whatever space you have available is imperative.


Tackle today’s challenges! APC™


by Schneider Electric™ rack systems


help tackle the top challenges IT managers face when rolling out new IT deployments or changing/retrofitting existing ones:


Challenge #1: Lack of on-site IT resources. APC rack enclosures include standard, easy-to- use features to considerably simplify deployment and installation. For example, standard features include integrated baying brackets for easy alignment and compatibility with APC by Schneider Electric InfraStruxure™


power and


cooling products. Pre-installed levelling feet and casters eliminate the need for additional order and installment steps, and easily adjustable vertical mounting rails make equipment installation a breeze. These features help small and medium businesses save valuable time.


Challenge #2: Increased demand for availability and connectivity everywhere— with more devices than ever connecting to networks. Escalated data volume has raised rack power densities. NetShelter enclosures are designed to integrate high-density cabling

easily and safely to protect 24/7/365 uptime. Specifically, enclosures include a zero U accessory channel that enables rack PDUs to be installed in the back of the rack, out of the rack U-space, but still situating power distribution where it is needed most. Combined with Rack PDUs’ low profile form factor, the zero U channel provides more space for the rack- mounted equipment and cable management.


Challenge #3: IT growth needed at the speed of business itself. APC rack enclosures can be deployed quickly. From the order itself (i.e., one part number that includes the fully assembled enclosure and all of its components) to the delivery and setup, the installation and deployment of new IT couldn’t be simpler.


Even more installation headaches are avoided as the enclosures are vendor-neutral and are backed by a “fits like a glove” guarantee, ensuring that whatever rack-mount equipment is deployed (with EIA/ECA-310-E rack-mount width industry standard) will fit within our enclosure.

If you do have random closet space or even dedicated room on an out-of-the-way wall, can you deploy the business-critical IT safely and reliably?
