Virtualized serverrooms Enterprise branchoffices Recently consolidated equipment Cloud connection andon-site storage Target Segmentsand Applications InRow™ SC cooling units provide 5.25 kW cooling capacity. This self-contained system does require ducting hot air into a plenum space above the room. If cooling is already present in the room, this is a great way to provide supplemental AC without changing the building HVAC system. These cooling units install in row with our IT racks, which consumes minimal floor space. A NetBotz™ rack manager with door sensor will provide simple security information remotely, allowing you to respond to environmental and physical threats when they occur. This all-in-one solution allows for one-rack management, via our simple management interface. It provides output voltage at both 208 V and 120 V to accommodate mixed IT equipment, and is designed to provide customized runtime depending on the application. Our PowerChute™ software allows for virtual machine shutdown in the event of power outage to avoid the risk of hard shutdowns, corruption, or data loss. Packing all of your IT equipment into one rack can impact the cooling requirements necessary for servers. Experts at APC can help you determine a cooling strategy for your server room that uses building AC as well as supplemental cooling. The runtime of this solution is customizable by adding additional 3U battery packs. Each pack adds approximately 15 minutes at full load. Remote management of this solution requires the use of two network ports and IP address. This solution allows control of UPS, monitoring of rack temperature, and door status (open or closed). Proactive notifications and warnings for unauthorized access, UPS power issues, outages, and even battery life are sent via email.

Serverrooms Enterprise branchoffices TemporaryIT installations Recently consolidated equipment Cloud testingand deployment Serverrooms requiringfast growthusing repeatable all-in-one solutions Target Segmentsand Applications A simple, repeatable architecture for installations in 3 kVA increments. As suggested, providing 30 minutes of runtime while leaving 37U for equipment optimizes the rack space. This solution is designed to provide rack-level UPS power protection and enough outlets to accommodate a mix of servers and networking equipment. The NetBotz rack monitor device can be installed in the rear of the rack and has a range of additional probes and sensors to proactively alert users of issues. This solution has been designed for use in rooms which are already sufficiently cooled by a building or room AC system. If additional cooling is needed, a portable cooling system is available and can be easily added to this solution. The unit, an ACPSC3500, is shown above with the required ducting kit in place. Installing and managing cables within an IT rack can be challenging. APC offers many different style cable management accessories that can tame existing cables, or help route new ones. Check out the selection on www.apc.com, if you are looking for something other than basic vertical and horizontal brackets. Remote management of this solution requires the use of two network ports and IP addresses.

Serverrooms Enterprise branchoffices Retailstores Recently consolidated equipment Virtualized servers Target Segmentsand Applications A Symmetra™ LX UPS system can provide N+1 redundant power protection and offer the scalability you need for future growth. The system grows in power increments of 4 kVA and is a modular design, making servicing the unit easy for a non-technical person. A centralized UPS can provide power to multiple racks, and in this solution we provide power to all three racks using one UPS. If you only need one camera, consider a lower cost alternative to the recommendation above. The NBWL0356, is a camera pod with environmental monitoring capabilities. It is not scalable like the 550, but can offer basic functions at the right price. The Symmetra LX UPS system is configurable for N+1 redundancy, adding availability and peace of mind with a simple upgrade. Server rooms often are equipped with basic in room air conditioning systems. If you need supplemental cooling, our InRow SC self-contained cooling system can be installed to provide additional cooling. Shown above, our InRow cooling system installs between racks and provides up to 5.25 kW of cooling capacity. P/N: ACSC100. As configured, adding (1) SYPM4KP will give additional power redundancy in the event of any issues. Remote management of this solution requires the use of one network port and IP address.

We have included networking cable managers in the standard networking rack, which provide a cable finger at each U space. This allows for clean and organized cable routing around switches and through to the rear of the rack. «P/N:AR7751 For a low cost heat removal option, the VED, vertical exhaust duct, can be installed on standard and wide racks, providing contained heat removal into a plenum space return. »This solution includes the AP7931, which has 16 standard 5-15R outlets. NetShelter racks are some of the easiest to work with in the industry. They arrive pre-assembled, have removable sides, and adjustable rails. Removing the doors and side panels allows for fast cabling, reducing the install time of networking gear. When you are finished, the racks are completely secure with lockable side panels and doors. The 5 kVA Split-phase UPS system provides both 208 V and 120 V in the rack. This design provides five minutes of runtime. By adding more battery packs, the runtime can be customized. Adding (1) SURT192RMXLBP3U will increase the runtime to 25 minutes. A rack PDU is an easy way to distribute UPS power within a rack or to an adjacent rack. »Interior view of NetShelter SX to show cable management and airflow FindanAPCby SchneiderElectric authorizedreseller

Network closets Enterprise branchoffices Retailstores Telecom rooms Phone systems Target Segmentsand Applications When it comes to standard networking and telecom applications, our solutions address the main issues with using spaces that are often tight and out of the way. Managing cables becomes critical to reducing troubleshooting time and keeping the space neat and clean. Our cable managers can bolt onto existing racks or be integrated into an APC two-post rack. Flexible solutions that allow for quick scalability are important, but so are costs. We have designed a simple solution that is both cost effective, and adaptable for a room of any size. Center-mounting UPS units and other heavy equipment can help distribute the weight in a two-post rack environment. The AP9625 rail kit can be used to center mount equipment in the rack. This solution can be configured for longer runtime on battery by adding additional 3U battery packs: SURT192RMXLBP3U. Camera Pods are a great way to increase security in a critical networking space. The NetBotz rack monitor 550 will support up to four USB camera pods: NBPD0160. NetBotz rack monitor 550 management solution requires the use of one network port and IP address.

Vertical cable managers maintain organized cables at each U space and simplify cable routing and installation. Six inch depth cable fingers can accommodate 50+ cat6 cables. A portable cooling unit is an easy way to keep equipment cool without any change to your buildings HVAC or ventilation system. Our system vents hot air into a drop ceiling and can even evaporate the condensed water. For networking applications, a threaded hole rack can make installation of devices faster.
