HyperPod is a rack ready system designed to deploy IT in increments of 8 to 12 racks; it is the only solution of its kind available in the market today. Its innovative pod architecture is engineered to support all of today’s rack types, with integrated power, cooling, cabling, software management and containment. It enables pre-populated IT racks to be rolled into place, which significantly reduces the complexity and installation time associated with traditional infrastructure deployments. 

Smart-UPS with Lithium-Ion is a single-phase UPS that fulfills the need for greater resilience, simplified maintenance and lower cost of ownership. Its longer battery life, built-in smart management systems and smaller size make it particularly suitable for applications serving the Internet of Things (IoT) and Edge computing.

EcoStruxure IT Expert™ is the industry’s first vendor-neutral, Data Centre Management as a Service (DMaaS) architecture. It provides global visibility from anywhere at any time on any connected device and delivers data-driven insights into critical IT assets, allowing customers to mitigate risks and reduce downtime. The software presents a key opportunity to strengthen customer relationships by delivering insight into the functioning and efficiency of compute facilities, while offering higher availability and potentially lowered service costs as new capabilities are added through the software and connected applications.
