By: Schneider Electric Written by Neil Rasmussen, Senior VP for Innovation at Schneider Electric, the new white paper entitled “Preparing the Physical Infrastructure of Receiving Data Centres for Consolidation (http://www.apc.com/ A pod is a pre-designed collection of IT cabinets, power distribution and dedicated cooling distribution that are deployed as a unit, almost always as a pair of rows of cabinets. The use of this high-density pod overlay method allows an existing legacy data centre to be transformed into a high density, high efficiency data centre during a consolidation project. As far as efficiency (http://www.schneider- The self-contained nature of the pod means that minimal planning, design, or engineering is required to place a pod in any existing environment. The use of the pod infrastructure allows for a high degree of standardisation as well as a reduction of the deployment cycle time. The high-density pod overlay method has already been used successfully in hundreds of commercial consolidation projects, and some of the case studies are highlighted within the white paper. It is an effective method for new facilities as well as for transforming existing legacy data centres into suitable receiving data centres for consolidation, even while they continue to operate. More details can be found within white paper #175, “Preparing the Physical Infrastructure of Receiving Data Centres for Consolidation (http://www.apc.com/ About Schneider Electric As a global specialist in energy management with operations in more than 100 countries, Schneider Electric offers integrated solutions across multiple market segments, including leadership positions in Utilities & Infrastructure, Industries & Machines Manufacturers, Non-residential Building, Data Centres & Networks and in Residential.
