Data Centers solution: APC by Schneider Network Closet Solution Overview

Value proposition

Main drivers

• Power problems are occurring more frequently because of an increasingly unreliable power grid
  
• Today's high-powered networking equipment is driving up power densities within network closets
  
• These higher densities present cooling challenges that network closets were never intended to handle
  
• Environmental disruption is the #1 cause of downtime in remote locations

Solution in brief

Network closets have become a critical link in the data transmission chain. New networking technologies have made the small rooms hotter and increased the need for remote supervision and management. Other challenges include limited floor space, inadequate power protection, insufficient cooling, and lack of environmental management. Network managers now need to deliver traditional "telecommunication levels" of availability within these "edge of the network" sites.

Value proposition
