Vertiv has released SmartAisle 3, a micro modular data centre system that utilises the power of artificial intelligence (AI).

Building on the previous Vertiv SmartAisle technology, the SmartAisle 3 is a fully integrated data centre ecosystem consisting of racks, uninterruptible power supply (UPS), thermal management and monitoring and physical security.

“As demand for data-intensive applications continues to rapidly grow, many businesses are requiring their data centre infrastructure to be deployed quickly and efficiently and to be as scalable as possible,” Vertiv Asia vice president and product management Cheehoe Ling says.

“Vertiv enriched the Vertiv SmartAisle 3 with AI features to help our customers simplify their data centre operations, so they can have greater flexibility in their business operation and to help them achieve their energy efficiency goals.”

The latest iteration of the SmartAisle comes with AI functionality and self-learning features that help significantly optimise the micro data centre operational and energy efficiency. Each carriage or rack cabinet has a Smart Power Output Device or POD, which seamlessly manages the power distribution to rack PDUs and serves as a monitoring gateway that oversees carriage conditions including temperature, humidity and door status.

With built-in cabling integration, and front and rear carriage sensors, the SmartAisle 3 eliminates the hassle of complex on-site cabling installation and saves on data centre white space. Moreover, the SmartAisle 3 offers a one-click networking feature, which effortlessly configures the data centre system.

An AI self-learning function that intelligently monitors and adjusts temperature depending on the operating environment, helping to achieve energy savings by as much as 20% while maintaining optimum operation conditions.

With an intuitive 15” touchscreen control panel and an option to upgrade to a 95” local door display, the Vertiv SmartAisle 3 provides enhanced system visibility and assists in troubleshooting to enable the system to operate at peak efficiency.

The SmartAisle 3 includes the Vertiv Liebert APM modular UPS system, the Vertiv Liebert CRV 4 in-row cooling and the Vertiv Liebert RDU 501 intelligent monitoring system. It also comes pre-installed with a flexible busbar system.
