Rittal applies expertise to deliver containerised data centre

Rittal was able to provide a solution consistent with the previous system, in terms of both design and technology. Rittal engineers specified the RiMatrix S, a containerised data centre with a pre-configured design, which meant that no additional design input was required by the customer.

Within the RiMatrix S, Rittal supplied 6 × server racks, 1 × networking rack, a fan-based cooling supply, an ABB UPS, a distribution board, fire suppression and 2 × free-cooling chillers.

Rittal partnered with an M&E partner to manage the installation, meaning that Envision AESC received a wholly managed, turn-key solution. The result is a complete data centre with a small site footprint, with no need for any building work on-site.

Envision AESC UK's Andy Dixon comments: "Rittal's ability to deliver a turn-key solution using a standardised product was a major consideration for us. We are very impressed with the quality of the RiMatrix S product and the associated chiller units. The solution has provided us with the environment we needed to host our critical IT infrastructure."
