  INCREASE THE AVAILABILITY AND RELIABILITY OF IT SYSTEMS
In a world that tolerates zero downtime, system
availability is essential. The only way to ensure optimal
availability is to have a strong NCPI, which is the
foundation of highly available networks.
  A highly available network depends on people, process, technology, and NCPI. Each availability layer depends upon the layers below it.  
  DESIGN AND BUILD DATA CENTRES AND COMPUTER ROOMS QUICKLY
Today's business processes are in constant change. This,
in turn, drives new IT requirements. The NCPI that supports
your IT environment must be specified, designed,
and deployed quickly. Unfortunately, it often takes
months to deploy traditional systems.
  How many opportunities are missed because the NCPI could not be designed and installed quickly enough to meet your changing business requirements?  
  ADAPT TO CHANGING ENVIRONMENTS
When IT moves, adds or changes become necessary,
they need to happen within days or weeks, not months
or years. As power densities, cabling densities, and
equipment vendors continue to change, the NCPI must
be adaptable enough to respond.
  Within the timeframe of just one NCPI refresh, there are typically ten IT refreshes. With each refresh, more demands on the NCPI are made.  
  MINIMISE UPFRONT AND OPERATING COSTS
Traditional NCPI is often expensive to design, install, and
maintain due to one-time engineering costs, high service
requirements, and the underutilisation of capacity. A
"pay-as-you-grow" NCPI allows you to scale as required.
  Traditional NCPI is built based on the expected future loads.
If these loads are not quickly realised, waste occurs.		  
   
         
. TYPICAL CONFIGURATIONS
Because InfraStruXure™ architecture is easy to customise using standardised components, configurations may vary. Here are five typical InfraStruXure configurations for different size installations.To configure the right InfraStruXure for you, go to page 20 
         
      Industry: Furniture Manufacturing Application: Voice Over IP  
    "One of the goals of the new building was to consolidate the networks
from the existing three buildings under one roof. This new facility
operates on the Cisco Added Solution Voice Over IP architecture for
video, voice, and integrated data, providing network connectivity
throughout the facility. As IT Director, my imperative was to find a
watertight solution that would protect our communications infrastructure
by guaranteeing uninterrupted power."
"With InfraStruXure™, I know that no matter what happens, power flow
won't be interrupted. I don't waste time wondering about how many
circuits I need to set aside for the panel, or if I need a circuit breaker in
the panel. I know InfraStruXure is running behind the scenes, protecting my equipment, my company, and allowing us to communicate with our customers."
> Markus M. Hill | Director of Technology and Information Services | Brayton International		  
         
      Industry: Banking Application: Server Consolidation
"During our four years of operation, we have experienced phenomenal growth. Our systems are critical to the success of our organisation. Any downtime risks our reputation."
"Our rapid growth prompted us to bring all outside services in-house, including item and core processing. We built a new operations centre. During the design phase of our operations centre, we recognized the need to reduce the space required for our systems and we had to pull this off without compromising neatness and cable management."
"InfraStruXure™ costs less than offerings from the competition. It's an easily managed, fully integrated power and rack solution that affords me the luxury of having to deal with only one vendor. InfraStruXure addressed the power backup requirements for our centralised servers, and provided us with significant space savings."
Christopher Hutchinson | Vice President of Operations | First Reliance Bank		  
         
  InfraStruXure™ Manager       reduces the complexity of your network-critical physical infrastructure by allowing you to manage your APC devices from a single console or by integrating into your preferred management system      
  Industry: Healthcare Application: Server Room Upgrade  
"When we moved our server room to our new eighth floor location, we determined that our power protection was inadequate and needed to be upgraded. Initially, we had intended to purchase a generator and an external uninterruptible power supply (UPS) but we were informed that it would take almost a year to obtain one that would meet our requirements."
"We saw the InfraStruXure as a great fit for our environment. The installation went perfectly. The components were shipped on time, we wheeled them into our server room and it only took several hours before the system was installed and started up. The smart cable management inherent in the design of the InfraStruXure racks helps us to minimize the risk of human error. We no longer have to worry about someone accidentally disconnecting the wrong cables."
"Since the power distribution is in the rack and not hard wired into the walls, if we choose to change locations or expand, we can simply pick up and move our InfraStruXure to a new location without losing any of our initial investment. If and when our data center load expands, we simply add another rack of properly configured power protection."
Dave Rollins | Manager of Technical Services | Boston Medical Center HealthNet Plan		    
         
         
        cool air is drawn from the floor to where it is needed by the ADU
  Industry: Communications Application: Video on Demand    
    "InfraStruXure™ fulfilled three core requirements for us. First, the scalability of the architecture provides us significant flexibility in terms of power output and in terms of runtime. Second, our Video on Demand (VOD) servers are air cooled from front to back. The APC racks that house the InfraStruXure are also designed to cool from front to back. So the same racks can effectively house our power system and our servers. Third, InfraStruXure gives us the ability to monitor our power system remotely. It provides us with battery life data, alarms, environmental monitoring data and greatly increases our ability to forecast and prevent potential failures by
establishing an effective and efficient battery replacement cycle. We no longer have to deal with a single point of failure."
"We wanted an upgradeable solution that could scale through changes and still offer us long-term value. InfraStruXure's modular approach makes it easy to upgrade anytime. With InfraStruXure's pay-as-you-grow architecture, we haven't had to invest in more than we currently need. With InfraStruXure, I don't have to buy a significant amount of extra equipment and horsepower upfront that I may or may not have to utilize."

POWER AND DATA CABLE ROUTING
Traditional power and cooling system













Overhead cable trays and under-floor cabling systems limit flexibility and adaptability. Because the premise is entered, adherence to the National Electric Code is required. Under-floor, plenumrated material is expensive and resource-intensive to install. Under-floor branch circuits can negatively affect air distribution.


Self-contained rack-based system












Self-contained, UL-listed (independent CE certified) system does not enter the premise. There is no need for under-floor, plenum-rated material. Toolless installation.
