What IT professionals are running into is the lack of space for an IT closet. Therefore, they have been on the hunt for an edge micro data center solution that will help them obtain their operational goals.
Solution Requirements
Manufacturing plant floors can be some of the most challenging environments. JEM was faced with this type of situation when assisting a prominent automotive supplier. An all-in-one solution that could withstand the environment was mandatory for this space. The requirements included a NEMA rated enclosure, a power distribution unit (PDU) and a uninterruptible power supply (UPS), a redundant cooling system, monitoring, and fire suppression. To optimize airflow, cable management, air baffling, and PDU mounting accessories were also necessary. Another priority included a security solution to protect against unauthorized access.
