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.

EDP Distribution distributes the IANOS fibre management system from HUBER+SUHNER. IANOS is the next generation fibre management system that facilitates fast, flexible and future-proofed fibre connectivity within Data Centres and Enterprise IT environments. IANOS is a high-density fibre management system that accommodates up to 72 LC-D or MTP ports in each 1RU rack space. The design allows mixed data and applications to co-exist in the same space.

IANOS is built around a 1U or 4U chassis into which are inserted modules for different fibre applications. Modules are available for patching LC, SC or MTP cables, transitioning from MTP to LC, Converting MTP connections to different base rates and LC splicing. The flexibility modules provide enables a simply and effective way of meeting the data requirements needed for day one but with a way to upgrade to faster data rates as the network evolves.

Providing cold air to cool IT equipment within Data Centres with raised access floors is achieved through the floor grilles within the cold aisle. Not all floor grilles are effective, some result in short cycling or even negative airflow.

EDP Distribution offers the advanced Triad Floor Grille that has a unique design which features Hi-Plume stratification fins that disrupt the underfloor airflow allowing it to flow through a special hole pattern. The result is a positive airflow that “bends” the air outwards enabling to flow into the IT equipment and reach servers at the top of racks.
