Vertiv has announced what it describes as a significant upgrade to its SmartAisle solution, designed specifically for edge computing applications up to 180kW.
Now available across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA), the pre-engineered system is said to combine power, cooling, racks, and advanced management and monitoring capabilities in a single integrated unit, designed to simplify and quicken edge computing deployments.
In line with the European Union Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) the system provides energy efficient operation and includes power usage effectiveness (PUE) monitoring to help organisations track operations alongside their responsible business goals.
"The upgraded SmartAisle really changes the game when it comes to effective and successful edge deployments", said Giuseppe Leto, senior director IT systems business at Vertiv in EMEA. "We've made it easier, faster, and more cost-effective for businesses to scale and grow their IT operations. The pre-engineered system eliminates the traditional challenges of planning of multiple equipment installations and logistics while providing customers a complete, reliable end-to-end solution that allows data centre operators to monitor energy efficiency requirements following the latest EU regulations.”
SmartAisle is part of Vertiv’s growing portfolio of flexible, fully pre-engineered modular solutions. The system is available as standard in four different reference designs, with the ability to scale up to 180kW IT load and features N+1 redundancy for both power and cooling systems.
