PRODUCTS RACKS, CABINETS & ENCLOSURES WHEN THE CLOUD COMES OUT OF THE CONTAINER DIE-CAST ENCLOSURES
R
ittal and iNNOVO Cloud have created a new “turnkey cloud data centre in a container”
concept demonstrating how companies can rapidly establish new cloud-based data centres. The “RiMatrix Balanced Cloud Centre” (RiMatrix BCC) concept is a combination of Rittal’s IT racks, containers, climate control technology and power distribution with the complete cloud infrastructure, including OpenStack cloud management software supplied and installed by iNNOVO Cloud. Companies would use the components within
the solution to model a huge range of options to meet their needs, from an on-premises private cloud to virtual private data centres, all using verifiably safe servers, storage and network systems. Server and storage systems can be operated in a way which is both standardised and cost-effective using services from the cloud, provided as “IT as a Service (ITaaS). with this new joint initiative, the two companies have created an alternative in RiMatrix BCC that
could offer a far faster solution. The outcome is a turnkey cloud data centre in ISO or non-ISO container format in which the components such as racks, climate control and power supply can be provided as predefined modules. However, for the first time, the companies
highlight that the server, network, and storage would be included with the delivery already pre- configured. In addition to this, the cloud management software would be provided courtesy of the open source “OpenStack” framework. The result is a standardised and completely virtualised cloud data centre, equally suitable for standard and highly demanding applications, such as high- performance computing (HPC) or “big data” purposes. “The industrialisation of data centre
construction now enables companies to create their own powerful IT infrastructure solutions more quickly and easily than ever before”, says Martin Kipping, Rittal’s Director International IT Projects.

A subracks series from Polyrack Tech-Group known as Future can be individually configured for different shielding concepts and applications in harsh environments such as railway technology. These subracks offer a robust solution as
the heavy-duty rails are secured with two screws each side as well as the tox-joined version of the side plate. Depending on the demands, various configurations can be combined with the standard parts of this series. The basic constructions differ in vibration resistance and shielding concept: The shielding “spring” version features a groove for insertion in the mounting bracket while the type “gasket” has a self- adhesive strip in a CuNi coated fabric. There is also a compatible version according to IEEE 1101.1/IEEE 1101.10 with front extrusions and ejector handle perforation in the product range.
