A new mini data centre from Cannon Technologies

Cannon Technologies has expanded its T4 Data Centre range with the T4 Mini Data Centre, which provides support for IT equipment without the need for large amounts of space.

This complete, self-contained system is available in single or multi-cabinet versions that can be sited in offices, rooms, corridors or even basements.

Central to the T4 Mini Data Centre is Cannon Technologies’ ServerSmart cabinet, which provides a suitable environment for housing all kinds of 19in rack mountable equipment, as well as power distribution units and uninterruptible power supplies.

Available for low power supply or high-density power, T4 Mini Data Centres are available with up to 25kW as standard, with options up to 60kW per cabinet. Security is provided thanks to the CannonGuard management system, which provides software based local and remote access control.

Alarms are generated if unauthorised entry is attempted or an unusual condition or problem is detected and the entire T4 Mini Data Centre can be controlled and monitored with T4 Data Centre Manager software. What’s more, a hush kit option is also available, which reduces the already low noise emission for sensitive locations.

The T4 Mini Data Centre is available in either chilled water or direct expansion DX cooled versions, both of which maximise power usage effectiveness.

Cannon Cool chilled water cooling units work on the air to water heat exchanger principle – warm air from a cabinet is forced through a heat exchanger fan coil by high efficiency fans, where it is then cooled using water. Delivering up to 30kW of cooling, the DX system can be mounted on the side of the rack to form a closed system.

Warm server air is drawn in directly from the rear of the rack and cooled air is blown back in front of the 19in equipment level from the side, over the whole height of the cabinet.
