Organizations growing dependency on data centers led to certain modifications and implementation of features and facilities to enhance the efficiency of the data center and make it more sustainable for a future of possibilities. The new data centers are functionally efficient with adequate cooling capacity, ensuring that the mission-critical equipment and servers are safe from overheating.

NetRacks iRack/iRack Block for Modular Data Centers

NetRack, one of the pioneers in manufacturing rack enclosures, emphasizes offering a controlled environment with efficient airflow management and cooling facilities to create an ecosystem of long-term facility hosting equipment. Since efficient cooling is the key to the successful operation of a data center, be it large, medium-sized, or small - NetRack designs the racks to ensure feasibility as per the requirement to cater to the growing demand.

iRack and iRack Block - a revolutionary offering

NetRack designed iRack Block to primarily cater to large requirements while the iRack solution offers smaller setups. The rack has self-cooing, self-powered and self-contained features - a step towards intelligent infra capsules or modular data centers.

Both iRack and iRack Blocks are designed to offer a self-sustained miniature data center with built-in precession cooling. To achieve higher PUE, the in-rack cooling happens on R410 refrigerant, which reduces the carbon footprint. This addresses one of the challenges that organizations face. The low deployment and maintenance costs make it an excellent option to add more rack enclosures in the future.

Recently NetRack upgraded the iRack Blocks with next-generation intelligent PDUs. It also has an in-built energy-saving module specially manufactured for on-premise deployment. It operates in an inverter technology compressor with an EC fan to enhance the cooling aspect. It's rated IP 50 and can bear a load capacity of up to 1500 kgs. It is equipped with DCIM software that helps to collect data for strategic decisions.

Both iRack and iRack Blocks are manufactured out of steel sheet - punched, formed, welded, and powder coated with quality products. These welded ultra-rigid racks meet the highest quality standards per ISO 9001 | ISO 14001 | ISO 27001 | ISO 45001 Manufacturing & Quality management system.
