Schneider Electric has expanded its cooling portofolio in the Gulf with the introduction of the second generation of the InRow DX for data centers.
The datacenter cooling market in the GCC will grow at a CAGR of 23.37 percent over the period 2014 to 2019, a 2015 Research and Markets study shows.
At the same time, there is a heavy focus on curtailing energy costs and mitigating the carbon footprint towards sustainability.
Advanced cooling solutions have become critical to the smooth functioning of a datacenter, and to the maintenance of hardware carrying mission-critical enterprise data. And with the second generation InRow DX release, enterprises can significantly improve cooling efficiency by reducing power consumption while increasing capa
city.
The solution provides the highest partial-load energy savings in the industry, cutting energy consumption 50 percent more than the first generation technology. This is enabled by the use of new brushless variable speed scroll compressors and EC fans, making the new InRow DX 600mm the most efficient system of its class.
The design closely couples cooling with the IT heat load, preventing hot air recirculation, while improving cooling predictability and allowing for a pay as you grow environment. Available in self-contained, fluid-cooled, and air-cooled configurations with or without humidity control, these products meet the diverse requirements for closet, server room, and data center cooling.
The addition of Active Flow Control, which measures air pressure inside the containment system and automatically adjusts fan speed to match the exact airflow of the IT equipment, increases precision and efficiency.
With an improved user-friendly design, the InRow DX also features an intuitive 4.3-inch color touch screen display and network card, to provide fast, easy access to data and increased visibility into cooling system performance.
Data center managers face numerous obstacles on the path towards efficiency, including growing pe
rformance needs resulting in higher density systems, tightening energy regulations and pressure to reduce OpEx, said Anne-Marie Gignac, VP, Cooling Business, Schneider Electric.
The latest generation of InRow direct expansion cooling puts efficiency and cost savings at the forefront for users, delivering the greatest partial-load energy savings available in a small but powerful system.
The InRow DX 600mm is now available for purchase in the Gulf region through Schneider Electrics distributors and resellers.
