APC InfraStruXure®

The APC InfraStruXure® is on-demand architecture for network-critical physical infrastructure (NCPI). The InfraStruXure® design, which integrates power, cooling, rack management & services and environmental management within a rack optimized design, allows the selection of standardized components to create a solution through modular and mobile configurations. This standardization enables an easily scalable architecture designed to meet changing needs and future expansion. This award-winning, patent-pending approach provides increased availability, improved adaptability and speed of deployment as well as lower total cost of ownership for IT environments of all sizes, from wiring closets to large data centres.

Why InfraStruXure®?

Availability

Highest cooling density available (up to 20kW of cooling per rack)
Increased runtime from minutes to days
Redundant design of system eliminates single points of failure
Factory pre-tested system reduces downtime
Hot-swappable modules lower mean-time-to-recovery
Proactive management identifies potential problems before they occur
Locking enclosures provide a secure environment.

Adaptability

Rack-based modular approach allows system to be easily moved
Scalable design accommodates changing power densities
Power distribution system accommodates all receptacle types
Vendor-neutral enclosure guarantees compatibility with all major IT vendors.

Speed

Pre-configured systems (Single Part Numbers)
Web-based configuration tool simplifies the design process
Configure-to-order approach accelerates installation
Integrated pre-engineered system eliminates need for on-site system test
Rack-based, standardized modules facilitate quick installation.

Total Cost of Ownership

On-demand design prevents over sizing and lowers cost
Standardized modules minimize one-time engineering costs
Built-in redundancy eliminates need to buy second UPS
Integrated cabling and cooling eliminates need for raised floor.
