On-demand data center. architecture from APC. ..... InfraStruXure™ Network-critical Physical Infrastructure APC has standardized on modular, scalable, open building blocks in developing InfraStruXure™, its ondemand architecture for Network-critical Physical Infrastructure (NCPI). This design method parallels the streamlining of IT systems from mainframes to modular servers, leaving behind the complex electrical and mechanical (NCPI) approach of legacy power and cooling systems.
InfraStruXure I N F R A S T R ™U X U R E meets the 3 key considerations of a strong NCPI: > Higher availability > Increased agility > Lower cost While often ranked as a lower priority issue, the fact is that a high proportion of both capital and operating expenses are allocated to the Network-critical Physical Infrastructure (NCPI). Additionally, the right NCPI provides a key opportunity to improve overall system availability. InfraStruXure™ has been specifically engineered to address these issues.
2 Adapt quickly to changing environments and technologies To respond effectively to changing environments, happen within days or weeks, not months or years. And as power densi- the NCPI must be specified, designed, and ties, cabling densities, and equipment vendors continue to change, the deployed quickly. Unfortunately, it often takes NCPI must be adaptable enough to respond. InfraStruXure’s modular, months to deploy traditional systems.
TYPICAL CONFIGURATIONS Because InfraStruXure™ architecture is easy to customize using standardized components, configurations may vary. Here are five typical InfraStruXure configurations for different size installations. To configure the right InfraStruXure for you, go to page 20.
