Introduction
Cooling is essential to modern IT environments, but conventional perimeter and raised-floor cooling systems are expensive to operate and difficult to install, especially when retrofitted to existing facilities and smaller spaces. Whether used for primary or supplemental cooling, SmartRack air conditioning units offer an efficient, flexible, manageable alternative that reduces costs and simplifies installation.
Plug-and-Play Cooling Engineered for IT Environments
SmartRack air conditioning units are designed for the needs of the IT department. IT staff can install them without outside assistance, quickly reconfigure them to respond to new challenges and manage them over the network like other IT resources.
Key Features:
- COMPACT & EFFICIENT COOLING: SmartRack air conditioning units pack powerful cooling into a compact footprint. They help prevent equipment shutdowns, malfunctions, and failures caused by overheating and temperature fluctuations. They also dehumidify and filter air. Close-coupled cooling delivers cold air where it's actually needed instead of wasting energy where it isn't.
- SIMPLIFIED INSTALLATION: Units plug into standard NEMA wall outlets and fit almost anywhere. Installation is do-it-yourself simple, with no need for disruptive construction projects, external condensers, refrigerant piping, plumbing, raised floors, or costly specialists.
- UNATTENDED OPERATION: Units automatically restart after power outages with last-used settings and support automated on/off scheduling. They also include built-in evaporators to prevent condensation from accumulating, so you won't need to empty a water collection tank or install a floor drain.
- FLEXIBILITY: Retrofit, reconfigure, or expand cooling on the fly to handle new equipment, increasing power density and troublesome hot spots. Direct area cooling through adjustable louvers or use flexible output ducts to focus cold air where it's needed most. Modular cooling means you're always ready for change, which is the one constant in every IT environment.
- RESILIENCE: With cooling distributed across multiple units, a single problem won't disable your data center. Engineered to meet the rigorous requirements of high-availability IT environments, SmartRack air conditioning units are also less likely to have problems in the first place.
- MANAGEABILITY: All units support network management, allowing you to monitor temperatures, change settings, define threshold warnings, receive alerts, access logs, and automate operation via SNMP, Web, SSH, or telnet.
