Vertiv SmartCabinet 2-M micro data centre

When it comes to data centres, flexibility and standardisation have become critical, as has the need for robust resiliency. With this in mind, critical digital infrastructure provider Vertiv has launched the Vertiv SmartCabinet 2-M — a self-contained micro data centre designed for edge computing applications.

The product leverages Vertiv’s original SmartCabinet strategy of providing a complete data centre in a compact and easily installed package, but with less capacity, a shorter rack and less depth, meeting the requirements of smaller edge sites. The enclosed system has a locking door, 1500 W of cooling and 19U of usable IT space. It also includes the Vertiv Liebert GXT5 uninterruptible power supply (UPS) and a power management unit.

The small yet powerful system can fit into even the most unconventional of edge spaces, owing to its compact footprint, allowing organisations to easily expand their IT compute when and where needed.
