| With energy costs rising and IT equipment stressing the power and cooling infrastructure, some perceive an economic and operational crisis looming. CIOs today are being challenged to rethink their data centre strategies, adding energy efficiency to a list of critical operating parameters that already includes serviceability, reliability and performance. A green initiative can help a company regain power and cooling capacity, recapture resiliency and help meet business needs, while at the same time dramatically reducing energy costs and the total cost of ownership.
Going green is being more than an altruistic aspiration to save the planet. It’s now clear that going green is a necessity that companies will need to embrace – sooner rather than later – to survive economically. While this new components can often deliver ever-greater performance per unit of power, they can also be increasingly power hungry. In addition, the evolution of high-density, rack-mounted servers has typically increased heat density, creating hotspots and taxing cooling systems.
The rising cost of kilowatt of electricity has further compounded the problem. Cooling and electrical costs currently represent up to 44 percent of a data center’s total cost of ownership. The three-year cost of power and cooling servers is currently one-and-a-half times the cost of purchasing server hardware. With the growing demand for cheaper and ever-more-powerful high-performance computer clusters, the problem is not just paying for the computers, but determining whether we have the budget to pay for power and cooling. The message is clear: Energy costs are rising, supply is limited, the data center infrastructure is being taxed, and its ability to meet business demands is at stake.
Air-conditioned, scalable, rugged, space-saving, highly available, reliable, economical, under control from everywhere, all TechXact services inclusive – this is UNIQLE, the new, modular IT-System for your computer center. The interaction of all the components is perfectly coordinated. Intelligent individual solutions can be ideally combined for different requirements and grow with your success. Make use of one, two, three, four or all five elements according to your particular needs and profit from the integrated solution of a system.
TechXact offers a system platform to meet present and future requirements. IP54 protective system Variable connection technology Wrap-around 25-mm raster without switch cabinet appearance Up to 1000 kg load-bearing capacity Earthquake-proof version optional can be dismantled Cabinet dimensions. TechXact is systematically implementing the principle of a cooling system integrated in the server rack. The decision for integration is a logical step. Server space is not unlimited! And through the trend to higher and higher computer performance accompanied by a greater packaging density, server racks must assure a maximum of space efficiency. This enables a maximum computer density per m2 floor space to be achieved. |
