by Brianna Crandall — February 1, 2016—Information and communications technology (ICT) infrastructure products and services provider Chatsworth Products (CPI) recently announced the release of its new EuroFrame Cabinet, an innovative and cost-effective network equipment cabinet, designed to offer a quick and easy-to-install storage solution for European data center managers.

 

EuroFrame Cabinet

The EuroFrame Cabinet features a static load rating of 1500 kg to meet today’s data center requirements for high-density switching and server applications.

The rapid growth of the European data center market has spurred desire for improvements in switch and server protection inside cabinets in traditional and colocation data centers. Additionally, customers want to improve data center aesthetics, all while on a restricted budget, points out CPI.

The EuroFrame Cabinet features a static load rating of 1500 kg to meet today’s data center requirements for high-density switching and server applications. The cabinet is available in several standard configurations, including 42 rack-mount units (U) and 47U, 600 mm and 800 mm widths and 1000 mm and 1200 mm depths, to allow flexibility to fit most data center designs.

Key features include:

  • Allows for scalability and network upgrades
  • Manages and protects cabling and equipment in a simple, affordable way
  • Provides open rack accessibility with security of the cabinet
  • Delivers thermal management to ensure uptime

Luca Rozzoni, CPI senior product manager for Europe, stated:

The EuroFrame Cabinet solution will allow data center customers to reduce their IT spending, whilst providing adequate cable management, better control of thermal dynamics through specific in-cabinet geometries, and maintaining a superior aesthetics look. It employs a simplified design with fewer technical features capable to address modern data center deployments.

Manufactured in Ellwangen, Germany, the EuroFrame Cabinet is the latest addition to CPI’s proven server and network equipment storage solutions for data centers.

Julian Riley, CPI area sales director for Europe, added:

We are delighted CPI can now offer customers in Europe a new cabinet solution specifically designed and manufactured in Europe to meet local market requirements, with the same high level of quality and innovation that CPI is recognized for around the world.
