Often within an IT environment there is a requirement to diagnose issues or perform upgrades on installed equipment.

To simplify this process EDP Distribution has a range of computer crash carts. These mobile workstations provide the perfect solution for all mobile computing requirements. Flexible designs enable height adjustment so that the operator is working at a comfortable position, be it seated or standing. The range provides models that can have a dedicated PC attached to or has a platform on which to rest a laptop.

EDP provides solutions to improve the security of racks housing IT equipment. Whilst security of data from cyberattacks is vital an area of security that often gets overlooked is the physical security of the equipment itself. Data Centres themselves are secure facilities, but once in the data hall how secure are the racks themselves? Rack manufacturers tend to use standard locks which are usually keyed the same from that manufacturer, meaning a key for one of their racks will unlock any of their racks.

Where there is a requirement to protect high-value asset EDP Distribution offers several options to provide Rack Access Control, allowing controlled access to the server racks. Know when your racks were accessed and who by. Receive alerts when access attempts are made, whether authorised or unauthorised, manage the security of rack proactively.

Installing IT equipment into server racks can be difficult. First the equipment needs to be brought to the rack, then due to the size and weight of the equipment it can often require two or more people to install the equipment. There are also the Health & Safety manual handling concerns to consider.

To aid this process EDP Distribution supplies a range of manual and battery-operated server lifters that provide easier manoeuvrability of IT equipment. Once at the rack the server lifter can position the equipment to the required height make the process of installing equipment safer and easier.
