The world’s most versatile rack enclosure for demanding IT environments
Ready for high-density environments right out of the box, NetShelter SX rack enclosures offer the most
standard features on the market today. Influenced by 10 years of customer feedback, Schneider Electric
has specifically engineered the next-generation NetShelter SX enclosure to handle today’s power-hungry,
high-density server and networking applications.
The NetShelter SX is the base building block of the InfraStruxure system. NetShelter SX has many inherent
features that facilitate a faster installation and reduce handling after installation, lowering your installation and
operating costs. In addition, the homogenous appearance of the NetShelter SX and its sister components in
an InfraStruxure solution provides a clean, consistent look that every first-rate data center requires.
NetShelter SX applications and selection
Rack enclosure systems for converged IT:
high-efficiency, high-density,
integrated solutions
With IT hardware trending toward Converged
Infrastructure (CI) and single-source IT providers, a
simplified prebuilt and pretested solution is more
standardized, better defined, and quickly becoming
preferred over the numerous combinations of IT
hardware and software solutions of the past.
Customers are looking for solutions that deliver fully
populated IT racks — whether to the customer site or
a co-location facility.
Schneider Electric rack systems have been pre-
engineered as an optimized system for efficiently
housing multiple IT equipment types in high-density
situations. Special packaging options for NetShelter
SX enable integrators to “rack and stack” the solution
for a truly end-to-end converged system delivered
prebuilt, pretested, racked, and shipped to the
end customer.
The packaging provides peace of mind of safe
delivery of costly IT investment and the partner
provides a choice of simplified, plug-and-play,
integrated solutions.
Rack enclosure systems for server
applications: high efficiency, high density
Servers are the lifeblood of any organization’s IT
operations. But keeping today’s high-density servers
up and running — keeping that lifeblood pumping
— has become more challenging than ever. Current
trends such as virtualization, consolidation, and
adoption of blade servers mean more devices, more
power, and more heat packed into each individual
enclosure. And that means more cable clutter blocking
proper airflow, more hot air recirculation concerns, and
more cold air leakage, leading to more inefficiency.
Schneider Electric server enclosure systems have
been pre-engineered as an optimized system to
provide proper front-to-back airflow to prevent hot air
recirculation and promote efficient cable management
that permits quick and easy installation of new options
as servers change.
