Vertical Space

An avalanche of data is on its way, and the additional servers, disk drives and networking gear needed to handle it will have an enormous impact on data centers, beginning with a crisis of physical space. The most obvious space-saving solution is to consolidate more servers in fewer cabinets, upgrading to new and more compact models such as blade servers if necessary, or implementing software-based server consolidation.

These higher-density solutions all require more power, and they create significant cooling challenges. But the alternative, simply acquiring more space, can cost between $400 and $2,200 per square foot.

Our sophisticated universal cabinets can be the first step in an evolutionary process that will enable your data center to cope with these new challenges. They are specifically engineered not only to consolidate assets from all your current and future vendors in less space, but also to provide the air flow that's vital for cooling those assets, and to facilitate orderly signal and power delivery cabling.

Most importantly, they are backed by a team of experts who can help you gradually redesign your data center, combining our thermal management products, power delivery and cabling solutions, and site management tools to solve your problems without drastic (and expensive) "rip and replace" measures.
