At CeBIT Australia, Rittal will be presenting a newly developed rack system, TS IT, for the first time. An intelligent modular system of rack and accessories, as well as reduced complexity and easy-to-install plug and play technology, ensure far greater efficiency in ordering and assembly – and thus lower costs.

The new TS IT rack system from Rittal is now making the IT world much easier. Previously, when users chose a new rack for a network or server installation, the planning phase usually took a long time. Selection and ordering was made complicated by the large number of types and accessories and possible combinations thereof. The subsequent assembly was correspondingly complex and time-consuming once all the components had been successful delivered. Customised, pre-assembled solutions directly from the manufacturer used to be associated with longer delivery times and additional costs. With the TS IT rack system, companies can now make clear savings in terms of time and cost.

“Customers need flexibility because the enclosure must be adaptable to the needs of the fast-moving IT business,” says Rittal Australia IT business development manager Mark Roberts.

“Reducing complexity was the goal of a standardised modular system. The new TS IT also excels in terms of quality and security.”

The standardised basic equipment of the new IT rack includes, for example, a flexible 482.6 mm assembly-level, divided side panels with quick-release fastener, and optimised cable entry with brush strips; it thus already fulfils practically all the requirements of network and server enclosures.

For the user, the trouble of having to select fixtures and fittings is a thing of the past. Rapid assembly technology ensures greater efficiency in individual interior installations. This way, accessories such as component shelves and sliding rails can be assembled single-handedly without tools.

The new Rittal IT is also sure to impress if you proceed to adjust the 482.6 mm levels. The mounting level distance can also be locked in position with no tools required, and widths of 21, 23 and 24” are possible. The TS IT rack can be just as easily expanded (even while the system is operational) by adding an RFID bar for the automated inventory of all the components installed, such as servers and switches. With a total load capacity of 1,500kg on the 19-inch level, the new Rittal IT rack also meets the highest stability requirements.

The new IT rack is also visually appealing. Rittal has ensured that the uniform, attractive design of the door elements draws a great deal of attention. Users can choose between perforated and solid rack doors. The perforated doors, with their free ventilation area of 85%, something never achieved before, are suitable for use in rooms and for the climate control of suites. All doors are equipped with practical 180-degree hinges and permit a maximum of accessibility. The divided rear door (a standard feature) guarantees that space is used optimally. The TS IT rack also has a sufficiently tight gasket to make it suitable for gas extinguishers to be used in the event of fire, and it is of course suitable for rack climate control.
