Vertiv SmartCloset Overview

A Controlled IT Environment Inside a Single Rack

Vertiv SmartCloset provides a compact infrastructure environment for active IT equipment deployed in locations where the surrounding room may not provide suitable temperature or environmental conditions.

The SmartCloset architecture brings the IT rack, power protection, battery and dedicated cooling together within a self-contained infrastructure solution.

It is suited to equipment such as servers, switches, routers and network devices that require more controlled operating conditions than an open office, warehouse or industrial environment can normally provide.

Rack-mounted cooling is sized around the actual equipment load and internal rack volume rather than cooling an entire surrounding room. This can reduce unnecessary cooling capacity for distributed IT installations.

Published SmartCloset configurations include 15U, 24U and 42U rack heights, with usable IT spaces of approximately 11U, 16U and 32U respectively.

Applicable configurations support 3 kVA or 6 kVA UPS capacity together with battery backup, while cooling configurations extend from 500W to 2000W depending on rack size.

The cooling unit includes safety functions for locations exposed to unstable electrical conditions, including HP/LP switching and under/over-voltage protection.

Optional rack-environment monitoring can provide visibility into temperature, humidity, door status and smoke conditions within the SmartCloset environment.

Vertiv SmartCloset Features

Integrated Infrastructure for Distributed IT Equipment

SmartCloset combines the physical rack, critical power, thermal management and optional environmental visibility required around active IT equipment.

Self-Contained IT Rack

A standalone enclosure houses active IT and supporting power infrastructure within one compact footprint.

Dedicated Rack Cooling

Cooling capacity is designed around the rack equipment load and internal volume instead of conditioning the complete surrounding room.

Integrated UPS & Battery

Applicable configurations combine rack-mounted or external UPS power protection with battery backup for connected IT equipment.

High-Sensible 24×7 Cooling

The cooling architecture is designed around the sensible heat produced continuously by active IT and networking equipment.

Cooling Safety Features

The cooling unit incorporates HP/LP switching and under/over-voltage protection for locations exposed to challenging mains conditions.

Optional Rack Monitoring

Optional monitoring can track environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity, door status and smoke within the rack.
