Cases & enclosures
The march of IT technology into industry due to data- driven manufacturing processes continues unabated. Data centres are moving ever closer to production lines. Rittal has now made the interior of its robust AX compact enclosures ready for IT to protect sensitive IT systems like servers and switches in harsh industrial environments. The result is the new Rittal AX IT Nano Data Center (DC), a genuine bodyguard that offers high protection for the small data centres being used in industry.
W
hile traditional data centres are located in security rooms or other protected environments, their
use in direct industrial environments is a real challenge. Mini data centres in decentralised applications are exposed to harsh influences such as heat, dust or moisture. To protect sensitive servers and switches, robust enclosure technology is already established in the industry, offering a high degree of protection, 19” installation technology and numerous climate control options. Rittal has now improved its AX compact enclosure to satisfy precisely these demands. With the new AX IT Nano DC, several servers can now be installed vertically to save space and then operated safely in line with strict industry standards such as IP56. Since the enclosure features a 19” mounting swing frame, installation and access to the servers is easy, despite the compact design. The compact enclosure is equipped as standard with a pre-assembled fan-and-filter unit on the door to ensure a comfortable environment for the servers and switches. Should higher heat loads need to be dissipated, cooling units from the wide- ranging Rittal system range can also be integrated as required. Two lockable AX security locks at the top and bottom of the door ensure maximum access protection. The AX IT Nano DC from Rittal is available from stock as a wall-mounted and floor-standing enclosure in two sizes: 600 x 800 x 400 mm and 600 x 1,000 x 400 mm (W x H x D).
