The common denominator within the date centre white space is the equipment cabinet . Dealing with vendors who can pre-install all infrastructure solutions within the cabinet , including power distribution equipment , cable management solutions , access control and environmental monitoring per the end customer ’ s needs will save colocation vendors significant time , effort and money . Additionally , preconfigured solutions that are tested together before they leave the factory minimises any surprises that could otherwise delay schedules when multi-vendor equipment is received separately . Finally , consider that pre-installed solutions require minimal packaging , helping reduce waste and the tie required to deal with it .
Product considerations
To allow remote manageability of the offpremises equipment , colocation vendors provide intelligent hardware solutions that allow monitoring and control of
