The Rack’s New Role in the Data Center –  From Equipment Cabinet To Critical Infrastructure Solution

Presentation Highlights:

• Evolution of the Role Enclosures Play in the Data Center
• Top Five Considerations When Choosing A Next-Generation Enclosure
• Critical Decision Tools When Choosing a Rack Vendor
• Build-to-order Enclosures Versus Off-the-Shelf
• Airflow Management Deployment Strategies Inside the Rack
• Combating Thermal Issues with Aisle Containment Solutions

Speaker/s: Scott Shew and Todd Schneider

Presentation Specifics:

Managers of next-generation data centers understand that rack selection is now a critical component when tackling a wide range of issues in their facilities. This presentation gives data center managers specific solutions to their most vexing problems, and illustrates how intelligent rack selection can greatly improve airflow management, combat thermal issues, maximize existing cooling infrastructure, and significantly affect the management of their facilities.

By selecting and incorporating the latest rack technologies, data center managers can:

• Address airflow from within the rack while maximizing existing cooling infrastructure
• Scale to meet power, cabling, and cooling demands
• Merge multiple approaches when combating thermal issues
• Implement aisle containment solutions at a low cost
• Increase load densities with little or no impact on costs or operations
