Effective customer segregation in data centres

Released 11 May 2001

Key issues for data centre owners, particularly for those providing services such co-location and Web hosting for multiple clients, are scalability, physical security and segregation.  APW Internet Business Solutions has, as part of its extensive portfolio of internet-focussed products and services, developed IMsuite, a modular system that delineates and segregates individual areas within the facility, providing the client with total visual and physical security.

IMsuite is versatile, readily expandable and easily reconfigurable as demand evolves.  It is a modular system, consisting of 2.4m high panels, manufactured in widths of 300, 600 and 900mm, that can be assembled in any size or configuration using pillars and top rails.  The panels are available with ventilation apertures, and sliding doors can be fitted anywhere in the assembly.  

Various security levels, ranging from mechanical key locks through to full electronic locking can be implemented as required.  The standard contemporary colour scheme is anthracite panels and black pillars; corporate colours can be matched to special order.

IMsuite has been designed to only require a small number of components, enabling APW's professional team to complete installations very rapidly.  IMsuite joins APW's range of innovative enclosure systems designed for optimised data centre management.
