GEC NEWS WIRESiemon has supplied its distribution partner MBK with a set of fully equipped VersaPOD data centre cabinets. MBK installed these at their training facility in New Maadi, Cairo to help educate and train end users, consultants and channel partners on Siemon’s comprehensive WheelHouse advanced data centre solutions.
In addition to showcasing the latest data centre infrastructure, the VersaPOD cabinets demonstrate the ability to address critical aspects in the data centre, including the need for increased equipment density, ease of installation, accessibility and thermal efficiency. Featuring shared Zero-U space between bayed cabinets that can be used for patching, power distribution and cable management, the cabinets enable moving cabling into vertical patching fields to free up valuable horizontal mounting space inside the cabinet and enable higher active equipment density. They also reduce stranded power and offer significant savings by sharing power distribution units (PDUs) between adjacent cabinets.
Iyer Sivakumar, Sales Manager EMEA-Africa for Siemon said, “The VersaPOD demo unit allows our partner to show the quality of our comprehensive data centre offering and affords customers the chance to both see the systems in operation and experience them hands-on.”
Moataz B. Kaddah, CEO at MBK said, “For those making decisions about data centre infrastructure and design, our new demo unit gives a complete, end-to-end experience that allows every aspect of the data centre ecosystem to be considered and thoroughly evaluated.”
