Discover the Future of Data Centres with Rittal’s Customisable Micro Data Centres

Mon, 19th Aug 2024

As digitalisation accelerates across various sectors, the demand for efficient and scalable data solutions has never been higher. In New Zealand, industries such as automotive, energy, and manufacturing are generating unprecedented volumes of data that need to be processed close to the source for real-time use. To meet this demand, many organisations are turning to in-house micro data centres. These compact, efficient solutions are revolutionising data processing at the edge, providing enhanced control and reliability.

Customisable Micro Data Centre Solutions
Micro data centres, located at the network edge, process data with minimal latency, ensuring near real-time usability. They offer significant advantages over remote, centralised data centres by retaining data control and accommodating entire IT infrastructures. This proximity allows industries to handle large volumes of data quickly and securely, making them particularly useful in sectors like government, retail, and manufacturing.

Rittal's RiMatrix Micro Data Centres are designed to meet these needs by providing globally standardised solutions that cover all essential system components—rack, power, cooling, monitoring, and security. This comprehensive approach ensures future-proofing and addresses both current and future challenges. The RiMatrix solutions are highly configurable and adaptable to various ambient conditions, ensuring they can grow with your requirements.

Key Features and Benefits

  • No Gap Between Bayed Combinations: Ensures a clean, professional appearance and prevents dirt accumulation.
  • Flexible Mounting Options: Features pre-mounted trim panels and easy screw connections to enhance installation flexibility.
  • Enhanced Cable Management: Interior installation via corner pieces and a second mounting level for straight cable entry to the mounting plate.
  • Sturdy and Secure Design: Integrated floor mounting lugs and deep-seated cage nuts prevent components from dropping during setup.

Overcoming Space and Efficiency Constraints
One of the key benefits of micro data centres is their ability to operate efficiently in constrained spaces. Rittal's solutions are designed to maximise space utilisation and energy efficiency, making them ideal for New Zealand's unique requirements. The RiMatrix Micro Data Centre's space-saving solutions can be reviewed using augmented reality, ensuring spatial feasibility before installation.

Additionally, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analyses allow for visualisation of cooling concepts, ensuring maximum efficiency and reliability. This capability is particularly important in environments where space and energy resources are limited.
