CommScope Offers Data Center Modules With Integrated DCIM
CommScope is now offering Data Center on Demand, a modular solution with built in DCIM capabilities via iTRACS, which it acquired in March 2013. The modular offering provides a flexible, efficient, purpose-built alternative to traditional brick and mortar data centers ,whether as an initial data center or an expansion of an existing facility.
“This is more than just a traditional modular data center offering,” said Kevin St Cyr, senior vice president, Enterprise Solutions, CommScope. “It is not just a shipping container with servers. It is designed specifically with the same usability and ease of access to IT equipment as a traditional data center, but with lower up front and operating costs.”
Data Center On Demand Features:Many organizations are looking to reduce their total cost of ownership and simplify operational management by deploying a pay-as-you-grow data center solution.
