Siemon Intros VersaPOD Data Center Solution

Siemon (News - Alert), a company that manufactures and innovates high-quality, high-performance network cabling solutions, has introduced its new VersaPOD Data Center Solution that integrates bayed Data Center cabinets with innovative high-density zero U vertical patching and cable management.

 

Equipped with a highly-flexible design, the VersaPOD provides advanced accessibility and thermal efficiency by increasing cabling and equipment density.

 

To support copper and fiber patching, Siemon's VersaPOD offers a variety of integrated zero U vertical patch panels (VPP). These panels supply up to 288 patching ports in the front and/or rear vertical space between two bayed cabinets without consuming critical horizontal mounting space.

 

Also, the VPPs provide ideal patching proximity to active equipment, minimizing patch cord runs and slack congestion by utilizing the vertical space adjacent to the vertical mounting rails.

 

Each VPP can slide forward from its mounting position providing easy access to its rear, and greater active equipment density may be realized by freeing horizontal cabinet space. The number of cabinets required is also reduced by up to 20 percent, saving valuable data center floor space. 

 

A 6-U VPP option available for mounting up to 12 1RMS or four 3RMS horizontal patch panels or fiber enclosures adds to the overall flexibility, while for facilitating routing of copper patch cords or fiber jumpers between patching fields, vertical 4-inch cable management fingers can also be mounted alongside each VPP.

 

Recessed corner posts provide unimpeded cabling access across the entire front and rear of multiple bayed units.

 

Siemon's VersaPOD system enables enterprises to maximize data center thermal management efficiency, as the energy costs are continuing to rise. Perforated front and rear doors offer more than 70 percent airflow.

 

Mike Boisseau, product manager at Siemon, said that from the start the VersaPOD was designed as an integrated data center enclosure system, not just a cabinet.

 

Boisseau noted that company's goal was to solve the most critical data center needs in a single, integrated, aesthetically pleasing and scalable solution, and VersaPOD Data Center Solution has achieved this goal.
