“One of the goals of the new building was to consolidate the networks from the existing threebuildings under one roof. This new facility operates on the Cisco Added Solution Voice Over IParchitecture for video, voice, and integrated data, providing network connectivity throughout thefacility. As IT Director, my imperative was to find a watertight solution that would protect ourcommunications 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 needa 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.”

Because InfraStruXure™ architecture is easy to customize using standardized 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.

"During our four years of operation, we have experienced phenomenal growth. Our systems are critical to thesuccess of our organization. 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 center. During the design phase of our operations center, 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 andrack solution that affords me the luxury of having to deal with only one vendor. InfraStruXure addressed thepower backup requirements for our centralized servers, and provided us with significant space savings."

"When we moved our server room to our new eighth floor location, we determined that our power protectionwas inadequate and needed to be upgraded. Initially, we had intended to purchase a generator and an exter-nal uninterruptible power supply (UPS) but we were informed that it would take almost a year to obtainone 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 thedesign of the InfraStruXure racks helps us to minimize the risk of human error. We no longer have to worryabout 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 rackof properly configured power protection."

“InfraStruXure™ fulfilled three core requirements for us. First, the scalability of the architecture provides us sig-

nificant 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-growarchitecture, 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.”

High Density Cooling System*• Allows for quick deployment of high density

clusters

• IT equipment can be moved or changed withoutsystem reconfiguration

• Allows for changing needs and future expan-sion with a pay-as-you-grow architecture

• Sealed hot aisle eliminates mixing with coldsupply air to increase availability

• Increased cooling capacity and system efficiency from warmer air return temperatures

• UPS-supported fans through dual input powerto cooling system

Raised floor

Non-raised floor

Because most IT equipment cools fromfront to back, an optimal cooling configu-ration is that of hot-aisle, cold-aisle,where rack fronts face other rack fronts,and rack backs face other rack backs.
