POWER AND THERMAL MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS

Power has long been a critical public utility we depend on in our homes and daily lives. Companies are under pressure to provide the necessary hardware and software their employees need to be productive and capable of multitasking in today's fast-paced business world.

Both IP convergence and the Internet of Things (IoT) has placed a larger demand on the enterprise network, where the physical infrastructure has become a holistic building system supporting multiple technology applications and subsystems.

From network infrastructure and physical security to wireless systems and professional audio/video, today's business technologies all rely on power. This has made power an essential business utility, supporting technologies in commercial building, enterprise campus and data center environments.

WHAT IS THE COST OF DOWNTIME TO YOUR BUSINESS?

Regardless of the technology application or environment, delivering clean, reliable power is important to minimize the duration, cost and risks associated with an outage. With more devices becoming connected to the network, cabinet densities are increasing across all telecommunications spaces, where every watt of power consumption produces heat output. Unmatched, cooling capacity and lack of airflow management can lead to an inefficient environment where operational costs can escalate rapidly. As data usage continues to grow, and people’s expectations of accessibility continue to rise, there is more of a reliance on network uptime where any amount of downtime can result in loss of revenue and customers, as well as degradation of public perception.

HOW INTELLIGENT IS YOUR POWER CHAIN?With these elevated requirements, where network downtime means business downtime, Anixter has developed an approach to mitigate these risks through simplifying power and thermal component selections when building a solution. Our power and thermal management solutions are focused on the delivery of power quality with intelligence while encompassing both active and passive cooling technologies, which improves overall optimization and efficiency at the component level as well as the operational environment.
